Bill alert: American Clean Energy And Security Act of 2009 a.k.a Cap and Trade

Henry Waxman of California has pushed this bill through and a vote is expected to take place shortly. According to opencongress.org the bill has massive opposition among the public or the educated voters. With 770 Nays and 103 Ayes putting the bill in the same bucket of dislike as the Stimulus package.

The bill sounds good on paper as it strives to move America from the dependency on oil, but in reality this is nothing more than a Global Warming rescue package. A package that is being put forth on the Americans in time of significant strife and threatens to implicitly raise taxes on every single family. According to Heritage.org if the bill passes, the end result will be "... will lower temperatures by only hundredths of a degree in 2050 and no more than two-tenths of a degree at the end of the century.”

Obviously the Green Fascists will have you believe otherwise and using the term "crisis" or "emergency" will invariably attempt to push this legislation through. Unfortunately for the rest of us, Global Warming is still an issue that most scientists cannot agree on. Yes, warming is happening, but how much of the warming is caused by humans and if we change our behavior in America what will be the net result? As of now, it seems like the fascists are more concerned with feel-good policies than actually considering what the potential costs may be.

Please follow the Heritage.org link for a detailed analysis of how many thousands of dollars this will cost you and me. Ultimately this bill must be squashed in Congress or America could face a very crippling economic hardship.

Update: The bill unfortunately passed the house by a hair, 8 Republicans voted along with the Democrats and it made all the difference. Next step is the Senate and hopefully those opposing massive government takeover of private enterprise will fare better this time.

219-212, should have been 211-220 ... sad day indeed.
