CBO says climate bill would cut deficit by $19B, page

here we go, there gonna tax us into poverty. We cant stop mother nature! Taxes will not stop mother nature. And thier guesstiment on the cost per house hold is conservative at best. These are the same people who brought us the health care bill, that i will refuse adimently. Live free or die!


An analysis by the EPA last month concluded that the Senate bill, dubbed the American Power Act, would cost households an average of $79 to $146 per year. Kerry and Lieberman said they believe Americans are willing to pay less than a dollar a day to curb global warming, reduce oil imports and create energy-related jobs.

In its report Wednesday, the CBO said the energy bill would increase federal revenues by about $751 billion from 2011 to 2020, mostly though the sale of carbon credits in so-called a cap-and-trade plan to be applied to utilities and other sectors of the economy

The legislation aims to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 17 percent by 2020 and by more than 80 percent by 2050






the 80% will come when they tax your breathing and your miles per year on your vehicle, and your household emmisions. Can anyone still taste our sweet freedom?
