Senate Delays Debate on Cap and Trade

Harry Reid is saying that he will delay debate on Cap and Trade until the spring.  This is good news for those against this massive back door tax on Americans.  Democrat Senators from red leaning states are worried as this will push cap and trade bill debate too close to the 2010 elections.

Some are saying that this will kill the cap and trade bill until sometime in 2011 as vulnerable Senators would be unwilling to push two major pieces of unpopular legislation within 12 months of an election with the health care reform bill almost certainly coming up for debate this year or early next year.

It is disheartening to understand that our Senators would rather pass legislation as far away from an election as possible to avoid impacting their careers.  One would think that if they realize that people are against it, they wouldn’t vote for it.

Cap and Tax Bill Nears Vote

Like I was sayin… Hold on you your wallets.  The house is moving toward passing the Waxman Markey bill to combat the global warming hoax.  You can read all about the latest on the bill here.

Some of the more vexing issues are that we are going to have a massive tax increase to fight a make believe crisis.  Energy prices are expected to almost double.  Gas will go up at least 77 cents a gallon according to some estimates.  Waxman just added another 300 pages to the bill prior to the vote and there are placeholders for more legislation.  This means that anybody who votes for it is voting for a bill that is missing language that will be inserted after the bill passes.  I didn’t even know this was legal.

This story has links to a list of congressmen that are on the fence.  You need to call them to put a stop to this.
