The hit to GDP is the real threat in this bill. The whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less. These higher prices will show up not just in electricity bills or at the gas station but in every manufactured good, from food to cars. Consumers will cut back on spending, which in turn will cut back on production, which results in fewer jobs created or higher unemployment. Some companies will instead move their operations overseas, with the same result. Read whole article HERE
Great. Well people, Ayn Rand continues to be proven right at every turn (read Anthem if you don't have time for Atlas Shrugged-it's only 100 pages). The Statists (I've stopped calling them liberals since reading Liberty and Tyranny...go get it now) are determined to return us to the dark ages. We will literally be reading by candlelight soon. Your government is about to FORCE you to use less electricity and gas by hiking up the rates so high, you won't be able to buy it. How are you going to get to work? How are you going to heat your house? We're all going to be tearing up our wood furniture and burning it soon to keep warm. This is what the Statists want for you. They want you destitute, freezing, cut off from all communication, while they rape and pillage the country's wealth for themselves. This is not crazy raving. This is what happens when countries go down this road to serfdom. We're taking all the right steps...there's no way this won't lead to the worst place you've ever been. I hope you're burning up the phone lines to Congress while you still have a phone and can afford the bill.
