Cap & Trade Bill Capped

Today’s vote down in the Senate of the Cap & Trade Bill shows that there is still some hope for our country.
Prince Harry Reid and Mr. Obama were not able to convince the Senate to ram another bill down the public’s throat!

Cap and trade is an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. Despite House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman's many payoffs to Members, rural and Blue Dog Democrats have remained wary of voting for a bill that will impose crushing costs on their home-district businesses and consumers.

This bill is simply a veiled attempt to raise taxes, vastly increase energy and gasoline prices for individual and business consumers, facilitate the loss of well over a million jobs, increase the total expenditures for imported oil by nearly $737 billion, and cut GDP by $5.2 trillion between 2012 and 2035.

The hit to GDP is the real threat in this bill. The whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less. These higher prices will show up not just in electricity bills or at the gas station but in every manufactured good, from food to cars. Even as Democrats have promised that this cap-and-trade legislation won't pinch wallets, behind the scenes they've acknowledged the energy price tsunami that is coming.

Consumers will cut back on spending, which in turn will cut back on production, which results in fewer jobs created or higher unemployment. Some companies will instead move their operations overseas, with the same result. If you wondered why Van Jones had stated that “The passage of the Cap & Trade bill will accelerate the decline of capitalism”, now you know why.

Britain's Taxpayer Alliance estimates the average family there is paying nearly $1,300 a year in green taxes for carbon-cutting programs in effect only a few years.

Americans should know that those Members who vote for this climate bill are voting for what is likely to be the biggest tax in American history. Even Democrats can't repeal that reality.

After the sham of a Health Care bill became law and now the Financial Reform bill having just been signed into law (helping the big banks, while killing the small business competition in the financial industry), Cap & Trade is the equivalent of the last punch in the US economy’s solar plexus before the Progressive Liberals are (hopefully) ousted from Congress in November of this year.

It’s slow, but sure – the American Public is beginning to open it’s eyes to what this Administration is trying to pull over on the citizens of the United States. Despite the liberally slanted main stream media’s constant attempt to hide the truth from the public (NBC and CNBC are almost completed controlled by the Washington liberal administration), Americans have grown more distrustful of the Obama Administration’s hidden agendas and the “For Obama, By Obama” agenda that has become commonplace.

A rapidly growing number of people are calling for Obama’s Impeachment and three term US Congressman, Tom Tancredo, is even saying that Obama is more of a threat to our country than Al-Quada! He goes on to say that Obama is a committed ideologue whose only desire is to transform / destroy America while attacking and ignoring our Constitution every chance he gets. An ideologue is someone who is dedicated to a certain way of thinking, whether it is political, philosophical or religious in nature in a nearly fanatical way. This type of individual can be very difficult to deal with. Look at Michelle Obama’s statement “This is the first time in my life that I’ve been proud to be an American”. Do you think listening to Jeremiah Wright for over 20 years has rubbed off on the Obamas?

Mr. Tancredo concludes by saying that Al-Quada is trying to destroy America from the outside, Obama is doing it from the inside with the money and influence of George Soros, among others.

The passage of the government run health care, financial reform, taking control of the auto and insurance industries, not extending the Bush tax cuts, and doing anything and everything except working on improving our economy and not dealing with rising unemployment is all part of this Administration’s attempt to annihilate capitalism and transform our country into a welfare state dependent on and controlled by the large and growing federal government (aka – The Ruling Class).

Despite strong bipartisan opposition, Reid said they would forge on with this bill after the November elections.

Now that the Administration is seeing that the American people are not the ignorant masses that they perceive us to be and in need of their “direction”, they are running scared – hence attempting to yet again shift attention away from this using unfounded racial accusations. Now that the majority of Americans are waking up to this fact, we will be in a position to peacefully change it in the polls this coming November, and hopefully once again thwart Reid’s attempt to pass this bill in the Senate next year.


We will not fall divided, because United We Stand!
