There’s 55 pages in the bill devoted to job losses due to Cap and Trade. It’s estimated 3-4 million jobs will be lost due to it.
So why do Democrats want cripple the economy to further their agenda?
And even more so, since Obama claims he’s about saving or creating jobs, will he sign the bill and seal the fate of all those millions of job losses?

Some are followers who simply nod their head in agreement without researching for themselves. Others are the ‘greenies’. The true believers who think man is but a stain on mother nature (who they worship). Then you have the elites who understand that this is all about Control..prosperity be damned!
The end result is all the same…Less Freedom, Higher cost of living (especially for the middle class and the poor). More businesses (jobs) will be driven out of America to places more business friendly.
It’s estimated that the ‘green jobs’ created in Europe have COST an average of $700,000 Each!

THE Spanish professor is puzzled. Why, Gabriel Calzada wonders, is the US president recommending that America emulate the Spanish model for creating “green jobs” in “alternative energy” even though Spain’s unemployment rate is 18.1 percent (more than double the European Union average) partly because of spending on such jobs?
Calzada, 36, an economics professor at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, has produced a report that, if true, is inconvenient for the administration’s green agenda, and for some budget assumptions that are dependent upon it. He says Spain’s torrential spending on wind farms and other forms of alternative energy has indeed created jobs. But his report concludes that they’re often temporary and have received $752,000 to $800,000 each in subsidies; wind-industry jobs cost even more: $1.4 million each.
And each new job entails the loss of 2.2 other jobs that are lost or not created in other industries.The creation of alternative-energy jobs has subtracted about 110,000 jobs from elsewhere in Spain’s economy.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about the report’s contention that the political diversion of capital into green jobs has cost Spain jobs. The transcript contained this exchange:
Gibbs: “It seems weird that we’re importing wind-turbine parts from Spain . . . to meet renewable-energy demand here if that were even remotely the case.”
Q: “Is that a suggestion that his study is simply flat wrong?”
Gibbs: “I haven’t read the study, but I think, yes.”
Q: “Well, then. (Laughter.)”
Actually, what’s weird is this idea: A sobering report about Spain’s experience must be false because otherwise the behavior of some American importers, seeking to cash in on the US government’s promotion of wind power, might be participating in an economically unproductive project.

This Green this and Green that is so bogus.
You can’t control the climate. It gets hot in the summer, and cold in the winter.
Global Warming is the creation of Al Gore (another Democrat)
Can’t you see the trend here? The Republicans givith and the Democrats taketh away and tax you through the nose.
If Obama didn’t want to own “Government Motors” then why is he dictating what kind of clown cars they are going to manufacture.
We are rapidly turning this country into a dictatorship. Step One is coming … it’s called Socialism. Which is what this new health care bill is … socialized medicine … which doesn’t work. Just ask the Canadians.
And unfortunately it will take the Republican party to straighten out what Obama has destroyed in the few months he has been in office.
GO PALIN!

Because this isn’t about jobs, just like the stimulus package. It’s about paying off the groups and organizations that helped get Obama into office. The Labor unions, environmental wackos, socialists masquerading as democrats. This is all that’s going to benefit from this cap and trade bill. All put forth on a false pretense of the lie we know as global warming.

That’s simple…to make each of us more DEPENDENT on the government. This way when they finally usher in socialism it will have been so gradual that no one would have noticed and no one could have stopped them. The demoncraps learned much form Comrades Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. They learned you don’t need a bloody revolution to socialize everything, you just need to slowly and gradually FORCE the citizens to become dependent on the government by legislating socialism.

They do not care as long as they can hug trees. I believe in the environment also but there is a better way than taxing the public back into the 18th Century.
DRILL BABY DRILL
And let the Utility Companies build Nuclear Power Plants.
If the Democrats really wanted us energy independent it would happen, they just don’t because it does not give them the power over us.

Because their Holy Guru Obama does.
If this were another country it would be so funny to watch the Democrats egarly tear apart their country because some YOYO promising open ended CHANGE tells them too!
The Democrats are biting off their own noses to spite their own faces.

Democrats are liberals, and liberals (economically) believe that all people should be equal and are for a socialistic economy.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Because THEY DON’T CARE.
They don’t care what it does to the economy.
Republicans and conservatives are against it, so it must be good.
That is the new liberal train of thought. (what little they have)

If they make more people vilify business, they will kill Capitalism and the people will depend more on the government for their well being. Same story, different day.
December 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Because they haven’t read it. I am watching C-Span right now. Dems have 1 last speaker and repubs have 5. Did they all phone it in? They’re blind.

Obama is running out of time to make the end time Prophecies of 2012 come to a reality.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:30 am
Because this Cap and Trade Bill is all about power and controlling those that produce and consume.
December 15th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
The Republican nominee for president liked Cap and Trade as well.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Because Democrats hate American freedom and are doing their best to destroy it so we will all be slaves to the government.

I just email Frank and Robert from Jersey.I also called.I told them where I stand.I also said that I’ll can’t wait till I and others vote them out!
December 15th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
It is all about power, at all costs
December 16th, 2009 at 3:11 am
Cuz its fun fun fun!
December 16th, 2009 at 9:19 am
I guess they don’t like the freedom and democracy we have and do like what other dictator country’s have.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:55 am
same reason they have been against all business, their buddies in china pay them off.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:23 am
I appreciate your optimism …
December 16th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Because then we’ll all be equally mediocre, the Democratic utopia.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
It will obviously cause real wrath of God type stuff
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
Live in absolute terror O.o

They don’t…you’re simply drinking the usual presupposition/fallacy Kool-Aid that the GOP feeds their lemmings every day and you drink by the vatful. If you know what’s going to happen in the future, how about tossing me some winning Lottery Numbers? *sarcasm*

If we can’t move to protect the environment and have good jobs under the capitalist system then capitalism has reached the end of the road and it must go. We will either do away with capitalism or capitalism will do away with us.
December 17th, 2009 at 12:15 am
Hmm…thinking…clean air, water, environment, healthy earth, versus some jobs that will probably be obsolete soon anyway..
December 17th, 2009 at 2:21 am
why should I believe you?
It will save lives and money Don’t be a sheep, find out for yourself. You didn’t read it yourself did you?
Hannity and limpballs are not gods.
December 17th, 2009 at 6:22 am
The truth is….nobody really knows what the fall out of this enviromental bill will unfold. Dems say….half-full….Pubs say…half-empty. Just depends on which way a feeble and mis-informed mind leans.

“It’s estimated 3-4 million jobs will be lost due to it.”
Rainbows are the most vibrant on the 24th of each month.
December 17th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Yeah, because they SO want to do that… don’t be so pessimistic. It won’t help anything.
December 17th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
HA! Where were you and your big mouth when George W. Bush was crippling our economy with his war-of-revenge?
December 17th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Because we hate the USA and want to be ruled by the Iranians..Happy now?
