More on Waxman / Markey

DCE noticed that I had been blogging about the latest step into socialism / fascism, the Waxman / Markey Tax and Pay, die deaths by regulation Cap and Trade here.  Well, here's a little more, courtesy of The Heritage Foundation:

• Reduce aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) by $7.4 trillion,
• Destroy 844,000 jobs on average, with peak years seeing unemployment rise by over 1,900,000 jobs,
• Raise electricity rates 90 percent after adjusting for inflation,
• Raise inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 74 percent,
• Raise residential natural gas prices by 55 percent,
• Raise an average family's annual energy bill by $1,500, and
• Increase inflation-adjusted federal debt by 29 percent, or $33,400 additional federal debt per person, again after adjusting for inflation.

So, what's the quick take away?  Ideology trumps common economic sense.  And as I pointed out before, all of these Trillions of dollars will result in a lowered temperature of 0.07 degrees C.

Yup, that a bang for the buck! 

• Look at your Electric Bill - double it - now thank Congress!
• $3.50 / gallon for gas.  Again, food or gas?  Thank Congress!
• $100 more / month for heat (I live in NH, it WILL be more) instead of a week away on vacation - thanks Congress!

Remember - Congressmen and Senators have all voted themselves pay raises such that they are among the top 5% of Americans.  ON OUR TAXES!   You think that these higher prices worry them?  Of COURSE not!

Greedy Politicians who believe they know better than you do in how to run your life - and manage your pocketbook.

That's freedom?

Thanks Congress!
