I see you're still the freedom-hating totalitarian. This bill is nothing more than a huge tax on the American people and a gateway to controlling every aspect of everyone's energy usage. It will crush our already struggling economy and for years to come. And for what? In the name of a hoax.
Implementing a cap-and-trade program to cut emissions by 70 percent creates a transfer within the United States that is equivalent to taxes on the order of $250 billion to $300 billion per year, just for the years 2012 to 2030. The combined transfer is about $5 trillion in just the first 20 years. This takes the purchasing power from the households and turns it over to the federal government or to whomever the government assigns the rights to the permits for emissions (allowances). This would be one of the largest taxes in the economy--almost twice as large as the highway use taxes.
Because the transfer, in this case, is similar in magnitude to the lost GDP, we need to be clear on the distinction. A cap-and-trade program with an emissions reduction profile similar to that of last year's Lieberman-Warner bill, will cause an aggregate $5 trillion of transfers after it destroys $4.8 trillion of national income (GDP).
In colloquial terms, the pie gets smaller by nearly $5 trillion and then a $5 trillion piece is cut out and redistributed.
The Economic Impact of Cap and Trade
"I want people to take thought about their condition and to recognize that the maintenance of a free society is a very difficult and complicated thing and it requires a self-denying ordinance of the most extreme kind. It requires a willingness to put up with temporary evil on the basis of the subtle and sophisticated understanding that if you step in to do something about them, you not only may make them worse, but you will spread your tentacle and get bad results elsewhere."
-- Milton Friedman
Here are the smiling mugs of the 8 Republicans who gave America the finger.

Freedom hating is it? LMAO!! I think you have your BS on the wrong thread. The topic is " Pelosi whipping, cajoling, begging and browbeating undecided Democrats." I said she did a good job for change and should be commended for this one action. Apparently she scared the bejeezzous out of a few replugs as well. Does this mean Ovaries are stronger than balls?![]()

I learned to color inside the lines and line things up straight in Kindergarden and First grade. Might I suggest you go back and line things up and fill holes in to make it look orderly. This way it looks like you just threw it together and then we think because you did it half-assed that you are a Democrat. Thanks, I appreciate it.
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!!!!!!
Thank god Ted Kennedy is dead. The murdering bastard got exactly what he deserved!!!!
Democrats are fucking idiots.
