clipped from: www.examiner.com On Friday, June 26th, the United States House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey bill, commonly known as cap and trade. We know that this bill will force our energy rates to “skyrocket”, as President Obama promised on the campaign trail. We know that cap and trade does little or nothing to help the environment. We know that cap and trade will send millions of jobs overseas…to countries like China and India that are among the worst polluters in the world. We know everything there is to know about the cap and trade program, including that it will cost the average American household over $3,000 a year in higher energy costs, gas prices, and so on. But perhaps the most important information gleaned from the passage of this bill, is that we now know that there are 211 Democrats and 8 Republicans with fanatical and fascist inclinations.
