How exactly do the "people" control the policy and laws being implemented by the current administration?....
President Obama made promises, MOST OF WHICH HE DID NOT KEEP, and yet you want to claim the people control policy, and the laws being implemented?

Hmm? Climate change is real and something has to be done. I applaud to the new law restricting American greenhouse gas emissions. This is very good. Now you can join the civilized world again. Now we can save the Earth together.
To me the idea that this will result in increase of taxes is insane. What about your children and grandchildren? You want them to live in a world of ecological disaster? Complaining about taxes in a case like this is so insanely selfish and short-sighted I wonder how you manage to live withyourself.
Actually the NWO is a good idea, if USA is full of selfish people who don't care about the world. Then you will submit. I, for one, now welcome our NWO overlords. I noticed that the Americans are so selfish people I want the NWO to control you.
I gotta apply for a job as a some kind of a foreign NWO controller in USA. I will make you pay your carbon emission taxes.

I find it amazing how Americans can whine about taxes and a new health care system..It doesnt have to be socialistic but it can be a little more of solidarity..ever heard of that word?
Lots of you should be ashamed! how years after Katrina people were still homeless without nothing, no home, no care, nothing!! in New Orleans in your backyard!!, but god nooo!! no more taxes, that will kill me!!
Maybe you should turn that hillbilly redneck from Austin "AJ" off and think beyond your state or union borders about the environment and the future of your children..

Some of you just don't understand that American political culture didn't originally have big government and high taxes involved in any way shape or form. Why are you calling us whiners, what would you have us do, start firebombing buildings and shooting politicians? You just don't understand that because our constitution and the values it represents on limited government that is making a resurgence, we don't want any part of those things we are apparently whining about. It you don't want it, you need to be vocal about it. Would you want the US government in control of your healthcare? Maybe they do it well in the Netherlands, but everything this gov. touches, they destroy or severely # up.
On a side note; I like the idea that in this country we should focus on the happenings inside our own border. We've been overly concerned with the outside world for over 50 years and it clearly isn't working our socially, economically, or politically. I think it's time we start focusing more of our thoughts inside our own border and clean our own house. I enjoy our sovereignty as well, that is something that will never be given up so easily.

Maybe the politicians should have done the research....or better yet... maybe they should have read the damn bill before voting on it.

well, we could all pitch in say, $5.00, find the worker who's responsible for typing up the final draft of the bills, and bribe her to insert a few lines into it...
basically saying that they all resign, due to their incompetance..
if it passes like that, well, at least we will all get to watch them squirm after they realize what they did!!
and, well, they couldn't deny the incompetatance part, since the fact that they signed the bill would prove that much!
1) What impact will this bill have on temperatures? (Answer: "Meaningless")
2) What will the bill cost? (Answer: Trillions)
3) Why are you voting for a bill that will have huge economic impacts and harm the poor and seniors on fixed incomes the most -- but will not have a measurable climate impact?
4) Why are more and more scientists publicly rejecting man-made climate fears and why has the Earth failed to warm as predicted?
