ARE YOU STILL PAYING ATTENTION TO "CAP AND TRADE?"

As soon as the Democrats get through with seizing control of your health care, they're going to go right back to the Cap-and-Tax bill. It's already passed the House, and Senate Democrats are licking their chops?

How eager are the Senate Democrats? Well, Maryland Democrat Senator Benjamin L. Cardin is positively giddy with excitement. He recently called cap-and-tax "the most significant revenue-generating proposal of our time." Revenue producing? And here stupid me thought this was about the economy. Cardin also said the Democrats would have to pass cap-and-tax in a reconciliation bill because to do otherwise would be to allow a "handful of Republicans" to tie up this great revenue bill in the Senate.

There is not one dollar in your pocket that these Democrats don't want to put their hands on. Hope you're planning your escape.

  • I GOT A QUESTION NEAL
    Would somebody . . . ANYBODY tell me WHY IN THE WORLD there are American citizens in this country that are VOTING and participating . . . and they're saying to themselves . . . "LET'S PUT THIS S.O.B. INTO OFFICE SO HE CAN TAKE MORE OF MY MONEY AND GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE?!??!?"

    I. DO. NOT. UNDERSTAND.
  • global economy and one world order
    That is what all of this is leading to KMV, you are so right.

  • Out of control spending
    We're all talking about these obsence spending bills. The power has been taken from the people. Is there really any place to escape???

  • Cap and Trade Biggest Scam of All!
    This one has been in the bag for years. Gore was "supposed to win" in 2000 to make sure it was set in motion. Thus the followup of "Global Warming BS". It will not only break the USA but move the world to a new "Global Economy". Healthcare is a smoke screen to assure this "big boy" of all scams moves through unnoticed. Wake UP, folks. The brown outs of 1999 in California were the test runs for Cap and Trade. Wonder how an unknown rookie could get into the Whitehouse? The Cap and Trade Big BOys who will own us all, put him there. Read and Educate Yourselves on this one...it's the real biggie which will bring us to our knees.

    For the most part I am energy efficient, unlike someone named Mr. Al Gore whose mega mansions is a total energy hog.

    I set my A/C at 78, which is recommended by the power company. In the winter, my heat is set at 65, and if I'm cold I just add a layer. I keep the blinds drawn to keep the house cooler in the summer. I do one load of laundry every 10 days, and though I've lived in my house for 6+ years have run my dishwasher maybe 5 times. I prefer to fill the sick with water, and wash em by hand. My power bill (and I'm total electric) averages between 75-85 a month, sorry if I can't afford to pay over 200 a month just because the libtards and dumbocrats want to create revenue.

    Maybe I could be doing more, but I am trying which is more than I can say for the fat cats up in Washington who just love to impose their WILL on the people, while they themselves don't do anything but contribute to the problem. Why? Because they don't have to pay for it, the taxpayers do! Is it going to keep Princess Pelosi from flying around the country in her private jet? No they will continue on, and force the taxpayers to pay ungodly amounts so they can create "more" revenue.

    And Joyce, yeah I'm sure there will be "incentives" and kick backs for the welfare gang, but of course its not going to help the majority, only the chosen few.

    This is a bad bill, & hopefully someone will make a stand & get it veto'd.
  • crush the economic model
    Who where those two you mentioned the other day? the 2 professors who came up with a plan to destroy the american economy?

    Are these folks still around? and if so.. how many times have they visited the whitehouse? Cap and trade+healthcare will all but GUARANTEE permanent economic ruin in this country. We are headed for a great depressionf or sure at the hands of the marxist tyrant.
  • sick bastards
    These un-American bastards scare the shiite out of me. They have absolutely no scruples and only care about staying in power (and wielding power). It's what drives them. The really sad thing is the American people actually trust them.

    If you asked the dumbmasses who they trusted the most out of the following titles, who do you think they'd choose?

    1. Politician
    2. Car Salesman
    3. Drug Dealer

    The correct answer is #1. Out of the 3 choices, they are all trying to extort as much money from you as possible, but the politician wants to do it without your permission, and then he concocts lies to explain it.
  • Cap and Tax
    I just called Sen Cardin's office in Baltimore. They stated that he was not in favor of the bill. What a wus. I am a small businessman in the transportation industry. My costs will TRIPLE. Wait, no they wont...I will be out of business. What a bunch of dumbmasses
  • Cap and Trade...
    is a MASSIVE scam. Period end of story. This is just one of the MANY ways in which our elites are trying to further loot us and take away our personal freedoms.
  • Right again Joyce
    It's gonna be a long, hard, tiring fight.

    Keep plenty of vitamins and coffee on hand.

    I have a feeling that even though Obama admitted that power bills would "necessarily skyrocket" that the plan is to provide more checks to those "less fortunate" to offset their higher power bills. On our backs of course.

    Income Redistribution. Let's see if I'm right.
  • Cap N Trade
    just watch this film

    This is a BAD bill, do you honestly expect the power companies et al to just merrily accept the new restrictions and make changes out of their profits?

    The power co. will make changes or they will pay fines. If they pass these fines onto you, your options are to become more energy efficient in your own life or pay the higher costs. You obviously would just prefer to pollute as you have been your whole life because it is easy and cheap. Well it will still be easy, but thankfully it won't be cheap.

    The environment is the legacy that we leave for future generations.
  • Cap N Trade
    This one scares me the most. Why isn't it being reported on more? People your power bills could triple under this plan! You try and conserve and be responsible with say your electric bill, and then the government, in their infinite wisdom is going to make your power bill the equivalent of a car payment or worse? I'm not rich, but do earn enough to support myself. Maybe that's not enough, but I know from my standpoint that having my utilities doubled or tripled just so Obama can raise more money to give to illegals et al is not something that is in my budget. I am fiscally responsible, drive a 15 year old and 9 year old car which are paid for, but once again the people who actually pay taxes and don't qualify for any so called "free" money the government likes to hand out to the welfare crowd are going to get hosed.

    This is a BAD bill, do you honestly expect the power companies et al to just merrily accept the new restrictions and make changes out of their profits? Of course not! Its going to be passed on to the consumers. But of course since Congress doesn't pay for anything in their little Washington homes, its not going to affect them. What a bunch of bozos.
  • whew
    Can't take a break for one minute with these morons. Before we can even wrap up health care reform and put it in the trash heap now we have to ramp up to fight yet another boondoggle. Revenue generating for Washington to spend spend spend.
  • cap and tax
    They are going to increase our taxes, because, if they don't ,the boogeyman is going to get us. Please.
    Naturally, another chance to build a hidden tax into the cost of everything we buy is great news for lawmakers. This "new" money would, of course, have to be spent on "new" programs, rather than doing something responsible, like paying down the national debt.

    I thank Mr. Lang for making the point that no politicians should be trusted with this kind of power.
  • Seizing control
    So once the democrats seize control of healthcare, am I assuming correctly that republicans will relinquish control once they take over? OR will it be one of those instances like always where they will make it benefit their issues more and then republican voters will cry that they accidently elected RINOs and not true Reagan Republicans?

    Also, are Reagan Republicans classified as being senile or already really old back in the 80s?
  • Economy?
    No, Neal it's not about ruining our economy, it's about not ruining the environment. This program, like the cash-for-clunkers deal, is for the safety of Gaea the Earth spirit. A fine example of this would be when a coworker of mine traded an Acura for a 2010 Mustang GT. Oh, wait...
