There simply is no other way to explain the statements of White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew this morning on CNN's State of the Union. Lew was asked by Candy Crawley about a recent statement by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid indicating he would not be bringing a...

That about sums it up. The Cap and Trade boondoggle will hurt all working family, except for the poor who will get massive assistance for their energy consumption. It is going to be a huge tax burden on all of us.
I do have a question for you Bret. Why did you make Boxer look so good?

Cute!!
It's funny and so true….
Need a spot for Goldman Sachs getting rich trading the credits. Oh, wait a minute…Democrats don't like rich people.

Unemployment is only at 9.8%! Pass Crap and Tax and run it on up higher! Come on Democrats, get behind Kerry and Boxer and shove 'em out of office!
I'm not sure that we can survive cap & trade. A couple in their 60s with multiple medical issues, no retirement in signt, lots lost in the 401k & a house worth half what it was worth 2 years ago might mean we need to hobble over to the line for those black pills Nancy Pelosi is probably planning to hand out. You know – the ones shaped in homage of her many necklaces. Get your affairs in order, baby boomers. Sharing a basements with the grandkids' toy room is going to be interesting.
Y'ALL A BUNCH OF COCKSUCKERS! GO OBAMA! WOO!
" under cap and trade, (utility) bills would necessarily SKYROCKET." (to paraphrase) Why is that statement ignored so deliberately?
such a wellinformed and concise argument. how can anyone reply to that supposition? careful. you could be in trouble for slander.
My fear is that Pelosi and Reid will begin to realize how numbered their days are. The entire agenda pushed through. If not now, never. A cornered animal is a very dangerous thing. 2010 can't come soon enough.
Cap and trade will bankrupt this country just like $4 a gallon gasoline caused the worldwide economic downturn. It's hard to afford other things when you're having to pay so much up front for energy. Let's end our politically induced oil shortage and drill for our own oil.
So the country is bankrupted. What happens next? These clowns don't have people to call on who share wisdom and rebuild. Was this the plan all along ala Alinsky? If so it's working faster than I would have anticipated.
The plan is to bring the house down. Have we not figured that out yet? These people should be wearing orange jump suits.
'Cap and Trade' is nothing but a huge new tax.
I was trying to explain it to a 'Liberal' friend of mine last night over beers.
'Cap and Trade' will make it more expensive for Alabama Power to produce electricity. That cost will get passed on to me in the form of higher power bills.
I also used the beers we were drinking as an example.
The brewery that produces the beer we were drinking is going to get hit with higher power bills. That cost will be passed on to me (us).
The company that transports the beer from the brewery to the grocery store is going to get hit with higher power bills. That cost will be passed on to me (us).
The grocery store is going to get hit with higher power bills. That cost will be passed on to me (us).
'Cap and Trade' will raise the cost of cigarettes & soap & make-up & cat food & milk & bread & toothpaste & laundry detergent & eggs & light bulbs & toilet paper & well…..Everything.
This is this the biggest scam I have ever witnessed.
OH…..But I am bringing home an extra $15/month from the 'Tax cuts.'
I am still amazed at how much of the public still doesn't understand this Cap and Trade. I was talking with a few friends the other day and not one of them really comprehended how this will effect prices on everything, raise taxes and cost jobs. It took a few hours but they had a better understanding of how bad Cap and Trade actually is and are now opposed to it.
More information on this Cap and Trade scheme needs to be published everywhere it can be so that more people out there can get a grasp of how bad it really is.
You miss the next step Walt. They then tell you that if you don't keep them in power, you are going to lose that $15/month. The more they get into the middle of everything, the more entrenched they become.
John Kerry, next time instead of throwing the grenade in a barrell of rice, swallow it and hug Jane Fonda.
I definitely see a perp walk in store for these folks, but what do I know, I'm just a pocket to pull money out of.
Not to mention if Companies start figuring out how to work the system (won't take long). Say Company A wants to buy Company B. Company A lobbies Congress to get tighter regulations on Company B, effectively destroying it. So who do they sell to… Company A. This legislation is one of the most irresponsible pieces of legislation coming from Congress (and that is saying alot) There is a reckoning coming in 2010, and it will be a massacre.

I don't think there will be a 'reckoning'.
As much as I enjoy this site and reading like-minded people's posts, I fear nothing will change. The Republicracts will stay in charge of this country.
My girlfriend is sitting here next to me looking at this site for the first time. She is asking me 'Where is America?' I don't know what to tell her.
It seems to me the 10th amendment is long dead…
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
So can someone please show me where in the Constitution it's the Federal Government's job to provide me with Social Security, Medicade, Medicare, SCHIP, food stamps, or any of the probably 10,000 other programs they offer?
Here's a clue. I don't want the governments help for a damn thing. I don't need the governments help for a damn thing.
The government is there to provide me with a military, roads & police. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head I expect from them. The rest is waste.
Yup, his stupidity is showing.
If things were so effin dire (ie CO2 induced climate change will cause earth to be ball of fire) like the ecodemotards rant along with the climate change nutjobs then this legislation would be strictly CAP and Cap alone. There would be no loophole like TRADE in the bill.
No argument here, and you are right, the Republicans are just as dirty as the Dems, but at least the socialist left will no longer have a super-majority in Congress.
Environmental paranoia, more money to make government even bigger, punishing people for living their lives the way they want and should have a right to.
This government gets more evil and corrupt by the day.
Stop taxing us to death and let us live our lives…..stupid government!
Climate change is a MYTH!
The International Olympic Committee just showed the World what they thought of Borat Obama.
It is about time the American people show Kerry and Boxer what we think of them.

Once you seen one control freak, you pretty much seen them all!
boxer and kerry. These two idiots are doing their best to ruin our economy. And to think that kerry had the audacity
to run for president. One did not have a choice but to vote for bush. This country would sure be better off without these two and some other democrats as well.
Reminds me of Ancient Physicians whose remedy for silk people was to "Bleed" them. Like old fashion Barbers (Hence the familiar Barber Pole). The economy is suffering from loss of life blood and Boxer & Kerry's remedy is to drain the rest of the blood from our economy just to enrich the CORRUPT GOVERNMENT!!!
