How would you like the government to reduce what you live on yearly, kill a vast number of jobs in America, all in hopes of reducing the temperature of the earth by two-tenths of a degree by 2099?
According to Ben Lieberman of the Heritage Foundation, a family of four will experience the following due to the consequences of the Cap and Trade bill, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on June 26 and now goes to the U.S. Senate:
$436 average increase in energy costs in 2012 $1,241 energy bill in 2035 Electricity costs will increase by 90% by 2035 Gasoline costs to increase 58% by 2035 Natural Gas costs to increase by 55% by 2035 Total cost of Waxman-Markey to family of four: $2,979/year from 2012-2035. The energy costs spike to more than $4,600 by 2035.
The kicker is the EPA study calling into question global warming, which was conveniently 'buried.'
It shovels money out of your pocket and gives it to “the right people”. Our government is now just an extortion racket, and we are the patsies.
It's time to make them puke!
