IT’S NOT! Plus, this is a broken promise not to raise taxes on those making under $ 250K.
Obama’s recession will be long and hard unless we get this crap spending under control. However, that sure won’t happen with the liberals running the show.

Not helping anyone’s pocket book.

It will bring in more money for more government programs. Big government is the working classes best friend, right?

hey, whatever works to make government bigger and more corrupt!!!!

It is amazing how brainwashed we are as a collection. It will help you be mindful of your use.
I’m already paying twice as much as last year…not sure as to why as I am not running the AC because I don’t want to pay $ 300 a month. Raising my bill isn’t doing me a favour and if you like people to be able to have jobs, Cap and Trade taxes aren’t doing a single person a favour.
I honestly believe that those who are in support of it are either retarded or have no idea that unintended consequences exist.

Well, it would seem the Kennedy progeny is now cured of his substance dependency.

It’s not….it’s typical liberal Dem promises and scamming….to line Al Gores pockets, and others I’m sure. People better write, email, or phone their politicians and tell them no to the climate and health care bills!!!!! I have! Refer to this question, with alot of info about it:

It helps the government people, and the sellers of “green” stuff, who helped these assholes into office.

We have no choice but to swallow the Bushbama package I really do not know what the fuzz is about my electric bill was double when Bush was in power.

Don’t you understand? The Democratic Party doesn’t believe in helping people. They instead believe in making people pay for their sins against the Environmentalist religion.

The dems want to bring in big green companies( to do the same as big oil),,, ok,, this bill means it will be done because we no longer will be able to afford it.
No energy is cheap…it’s the best ‘green’ solution there is…

I wanted to trade my Reds cap to my friend for his Yankees cap. He took my Reds cap and kept his Yankees cap anyway. That wasn’t the cap and trade that I was expecting. I got screwed that time too.

It’s helping the people that are in power 1 more step in controlling the citizens. Iran’s fighting against this and the voters for Bo are letting him change our lives. See Y he wouldn’t step up for the citizens of Iran but have a Hotdog picnic with there leaders??

By giving people cleaner air, by reducing our costly dependence on foreign oil, by creating 1000s of new jobs in alternative energy, by creating new technologies that could generate a stock market boon like the internet did, by helping reduce a possible catastrophic global warming cycle, etc. The costs will go up an average of $ 175/year at first, but then will come down as new alternative energy as invented, as factories are developed for mass production, and as products start using alternative energy. Eventually, with our own home grown energy, we should expect to see significant energy savings. (The sun, wind, and sea are cheaper than gas and oil from the Middle East.)

I use natural gas for heating . I am on budget pay because I have good credit . Last Year I paid $ 131.00 a month on budget pay . Now I pay $ 37.00 a month on budget pay .

How is paying 2 trillion dollars a year for foreign oil in 10 years going to help us if we don’t do this?
You people have got to stop knee-jerk reacting to issues you know nothing about. That bill still has to get through the senate which won’t get done until later this year when we’re pulling out of the recession, and beyond that everything is phased in over YEARS with incentives for energy companies to not pass the cost onto consumers.
When it comes out of the Senate, it will also be watered down, so we really don’t know what the final bill will look like anyway.
If you people would only take time to understand the issues, we could all have an intelligent conversation about this.
Why do you insist on regurgitating nonsense the partisan media feeds you without thinking for yourselves?

You see, Obama has a plan, and if the experiment does not work, what the f, he will be out of office anyway.
Obama is a naive idealist fool (and closet militant, along with his sidekick Mich) and that makes him very Dangerous to the welfare of this country. As usual, Dems are far too uninformed and oblivious to have the slightest clue as to the damage this guy (and his Admin.) can inflict. Unfortunately, this country and all of us will suffer dearly for this period of liberal insanity.

Any cost increase will be spread out over time. This is the way the US should be going, I am sick and tired of being dependent on other countries and their fossil fuels. This step will help the US to become independent and use cleaner fuels. This should have happened years ago. People in the US are so spoiled, they want and want but do not want to sacrifice anything for a better future for themselves or children.*
justagrandma Feb 22 2012 - 5:51 pm
Ask you local electric or gas company, they are the ones raising the costs. And their increased revenue helps them.
There is no increase due to Obama, and energy skyrocketed last year. Next time we are foolish enough to believe the oil producing companies who control us, we will, hopefully, have a workable alternative. In fact when they know we are taking seriously the look for an alternative, they may not feel the urge to raise their prices until they find the maximum we will tolerate.

Hey, just read ‘onlooker’s answer. He/she is singing all the right notes, because the propaganda has had it’s desired effect on them. It will ‘create jobs’, etc. etc. Which is good, since pretty much everyone in the family, including the cat, will have to work to pay the energy bills when this abomination (cap and trade) becomes law.

Its a regressive tax program, meaning it hurts the poor the most, like sales taxes. Democrats love to screw the sheeple who are clueless and keep voting for them. $ 50 a month extra in utility costs hurts the poor the most, including millions of elderaly living on Social Security, most right now under $ 1,500 a month. In California, three years ago the wealthy were stripped out 1.5 billion in extra taxes, now its the poor sheeple’s turn, as the sales tax went up 1% This Cap and Trade will also screw the middle class, 3 million of them, by depriving them of jobs, while delivering 150,000 new jobs. Also add to the mix maybe another half a million or so foreclosures, as this extra cost will tip the iceberg for them. What a wonderful Democrat way to help the economy in a recession.
