Cap and Trade: Raping and Plundering American Wealth
I can think of other ways I would wish to “drill” my senators, but Todd Schnitt has a way to get that sentiment across without bloodshed. Dig through your tool box for a couple drill bits and send then to Washington.
Todd Schnitt gives you the details and instructions on Operation Drill Bit here.
After the video you will find plenty of links and info on the disastrous consequences of Lieberman’s and McCain’s suicidal cap and trade legislation. If that doesn’t give you incentive to get your butt out of your chair and take your case to Washington, well, then you are probably an Obama voter.

Despite 31,000 scientists debunking the idea that you and I are responsible for climate change on the planet, congress is going forward with enactment of laws that will have disastrous effects on our economy and way of life. Members of Congress are considering several bills designed to combat climate change. Chief among them is Senate bill 2191–America’s Climate Security Act of 2007–introduced by Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA). This bill would set a limit on the emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide from the combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas.
In the final analysis, we are entering into a massive redistribution of wealth according to the socialist agenda because ultimately the cost of implementing climate change programs like the Lieberman-Warner bill will fall on the American worker.

Right Side New’s Section on global warming offers evaluations of the economic impact of Cap & Trade on several states. Scroll through the titles… there is important information to be considered. Below is a brief list of some of the ramifications of C&T for the state of Florida.
- Florida would lose 78,172 to 117,593 jobs in 2020 and 220,586 to 293,632 jobs in 2030…
- Florida would see disposable household income reduced by $918 to $2,976 per year by 2020 and $3,868 to $7,053 by 2030…
- Florida residents would pay between 91% and 131% more for their natural gas by 2030….
- Loss of industrial output are estimated to reduce Florida’s gross state product (GSP) by between $8 and $11.2 billion per year by 2020 and $29.7 and $35.1 billion by 2030….
- By 2020, higher energy prices mean that low income families in Florida (with average incomes of $14,349) will spend between 18% and 20% of their income on energy under L/W compared to a projected 15% without L/W… the elderly will also suffer disproportionately…
- Florida’s 5,743 schools and universities and 289 hospitals will likely experience a 28% to 35% percent increase in expenditures by 2020 and a 91% to 123% increase by 2030….

The carbon credit scam is in full advance around the world and that means there are trillions of dollars to be made. Finally the real reason for the new religion founded by Al Gore is becoming apparent even to those who have refused to see the truth and follow blindly into the man-made global warming abyss.

In the United States we are about to have lifestyle-changing laws imposed upon us so that enormous amounts of money can be made by perpetrators of the hoax and Americans accept the outcome without so much as a whimper. When the Lieberman-Warner bill and others already in the congressional hopper are passed through the legislature and signed by whoever becomes the next president, all the sheep can do is pray for justice in the next world because there will be none in this one.
[...]
History is full of examples of sheep being led to slaughter, but none on such a grand scale as we have today.

An unprecedentedly radical government grab for control of the American economy will be debated this week when the Senate considers saving the planet by means of a cap-and-trade system to ration carbon emissions. The plan is co-authored (with John Warner) by Joe Lieberman, an ardent supporter of John McCain, who supports Lieberman’s legislation and recently spoke about “the central facts of rising temperatures, rising waters and all the endless troubles that global warming will bring.”
[...]
McCain, who supports Lieberman’s unprecedented expansion of government’s regulatory reach, is the scourge of all lobbyists (other than those employed by his campaign). But cap-and-trade would be a bonanza for K Street, the lobbyists’ habitat, because it would vastly deepen and broaden the upside benefits and downside risks that the government’s choices mean for businesses.

Another problem with adopting a cap-and-trade program for the United States is that even if we want one, it is very unlikely that developing nations would do the same. Some argue that America needs to cap emissions unilaterally because doing so will inspire the world’s big polluters like China and India to follow us. China, the planet’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, isn’t interested.
Each year, China adds more coal-fired electricity generation than all the power in Texas, and Texas is the U.S. leader in electricity generation. China is committed to raising its enormous population from poverty, and it has given every indication that it intends to stick with the current policy of breakneck economic development and job creation.
China argues that it has the right to grow and raise its standard of living closer to ours, and if we want to reduce worldwide emissions, we should do it by ourselves. In summary, cap-and-trade works badly in Europe, is DOA in Asia and makes no economic sense in America.
