House passes Pelosi's climate change bill


thehill.com
The House on Friday passed a monumental climate change bill, giving Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) one of the biggest victories of her Speakership and answering a call from President Obama to let the United States play a leading roll in reducing greenhouse gasses.

The bill passed with 219 votes, just enough for passage. Forty three Democrats voted against the bill and eight Republicans voted for it.

I guess we posted at the same time. You can have the thread, and I'll transfer my comments to your thread.

This is the final nail in the coffin for the US economy.
The next 3 generations will be spending a huge portion of their disposable income on energy costs. Jobs will be lost, not gained, as Obama and Pelosi claimed, and more companies will now exit the US for countries that do not have cap and trade laws.

Professor, you are exactly correct. This was a concealed TAX.

I swear to God, they're getting mighty clever when it comes to implementing taxes.

We'll be up to an 80% EFFECTIVE tax rate in another six months at the rate things are going.

Just what I always wanted.

A government job without the benefits.

Prof.Maybe we all should go on the public dole.That way the Government can end up paying it's own carbon taxes.

I feel like we aren't even getting the lube. Hopefully this doesn't get through the senate, and its time to take names on who voted for pass this piece of trash bill. So we can vote them out.

You're right. Once we get up to 100%, we'll have them right where we want them.
Who said slavery was abolished. We have become slaves of the socialist, left-wing Obama/Democratic administration. King Barry now has 300,000,000 serfs.
I can only hope that people listen to King Barry and volunteer- volunteer to join their local militia.

The only thing they haven't indicated they're going to tax is the tax we pay.

Oh crap . . .
