I did too, BH was not alone, I also believed in him and that he was going to change the face of politics in Washington, I should have known better.

Is not longer any honest politicians in this nation.

That's OK, Marg. You see the light now.

Welcome to the Dark Side.

But...but...but....Obama promised not to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000 a year (unless you smoke).

Now if you turn on a light when you enter a room, or if you dare want to get something to eat....you will be taxed.

This cannot pass the Senate....contact them NOW!

How long does it usually take a pushed bill like this to get through the senate, and after that who actually decides how much taxes we really have to pay?
Or will that be another bill where they sneak even more crud through?

I'm glad I wrote in Ron Paul, at least he probably would have told us that they held a gun to his head to sign our future away.

Well, they don't have to vote on it as soon as it hits the Senate. They can take their time, make sure that everyone is asleep, then vote on it in the dead of night.

Scumbags.

God, I just want a general to take the Midwest on it's word and help them defend themselves on this "declaration of war".

If you don't know what I'm talking about, the Midwest told the gov that this bill IS a deceleration of war.

Id suggest checking out more about the cap and trade and contact your senators. This bill will do nothing to stimulate us economy and only help send jobs overseas while increasing taxes. And it doesn't stop with energy the extra costs imposed on industry will just be passed along in higher prices on all consumer goods! Not only that but to measure co2 is a joke there is no effective means to measure a companies co2 emissions and will only be a guess at best.

Heres the funny part it will even effect farmers since it was determined that cows produce 10% of co2 emissions in the US.So were going to spend trillions cost each family in America thousands of dollars and guess what best estimate we could lower global temperatures by half on 1 degree by 2035.Sorry to say co2 is easy to battle plant more trees!!!!! As of right now people are excluded but who knows they may tax us to breath since every human on the planet expels co2.
