Some observations about our country’s economic situation.
RedState: Conservative News and Community — Are you involved in any aspect of the financial business? Are you, in fact, in any way, shape, or form dependent on the stock market for your retirement, supplemental income, future expenditures, children’s education, or just disposable income? Heck, is your household making more than 75 grand a year? Yes? THEN IT IS NOT IN YOUR CLASS INTEREST TO VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT IN THE 2010 ELECTION. Seriously, about the 75 grand and above bit. That thirteen bucks a week that you’re supposed to be getting? That gets eaten up ...

Rahmbo Says "Energy Costs Are Too Low" Which Explains Why Obama Plans to Raise Energy Costs $700 Per Family
Gateway Pundit — Rahm Emanuel said this week that energy costs are too low. The Washington Times reported: Mr. Emanuel said energy costs are too low anyway. U.S. car companies have relied too long on gas-guzzling autos and failed to invest in alternative energy vehicles, he said, and contended that the time for new auto fuels is now. But, not for long... Team administration plans on raising energy prices with his cap and trade initiative. This will likely cost Americans $700 to $1,400 dollars per family per year. Even Barack Obama ...

Obama Is Driving Up Energy Costs on Purpose
Moonbattery — The Obamination Administration has finally figured out what's wrong with our collapsing economy: energy costs are too low. From the Washington Times: Mr. Emanuel said energy costs are too low anyway. U.S. car companies have relied too long on gas-guzzling autos and failed to invest in alternative energy vehicles, he said, and contended that the time for new auto fuels is now. Right when GM is going bankrupt is a perfect time to force it to use technologies that are not economically efficient. The cap and trade insanity snuck into one of the recent spending extravaganzas will be just the ticket to fix those low energy costs. Here's ...

Obama says Nationalizing Healthcare & Cap and Trade Is What Is Needed to Shore Up Economy

Obama says we must spend the billions today because delay would make the recovery more fragile. Unreal. You'd think ...

OBAMA: “At a time of great fiscal challenges, this legislation is paid for by the polluters who currently emit the dangerous carbon emissions that contaminate the water we drink and pollute the air we breathe.” (President Obama, Press Conference, Washington, D.C., 6/23/09) But, that isn't what he said last year.

“Paid For By The Polluters” Wasn’t What Obama Was Saying In 2008
Say Anything — Earlier today, in his much-hyped press conference, Obama said that only “the polluters” would be paying for his cap and trade tax.  Here’s exactly what he said: At a time of great fiscal challenges, this legislation is paid for by the polluters who currently emit the dangerous carbon emissions that contaminate the water we drink and pollute the air we breathe. It also provides assistance to businesses and communities as they make the gradual transition to clean energy technologies. Unfortunately for Obama, that’s not what he was saying just a year ago when he pointed out (correctly) that cap and trade would ...

On Cap And Trade, What About The 95% Of Americans Who Weren’t Supposed To Get A Tax Hike?
Say Anything — While campaigning, Obama promised tax cuts for “95% of Americans.”  Shortly after being elected President, Obama noisily promised that nobody in America making under $250,000/year would pay a dime more in federal taxes. But now Obama is backing a cap and trade carbon tax, and that tax just passed the House.  If the Senate passes it as well (click here to contact your Senators and tell them it shouldn’t) businesses across the nation would have to purchase permission from the government to emit carbon. And since pretty much all businesses emit carbon, that amounts to a tax on just about every business in America. Now, the ...

Just How A Pelosi Run Congress Should Work….Send A Cap & Tax Bill That Doesn’t Exist Up For A Vote
Flopping Aces — You recall that massive new tax passed yesterday? The one where 8 Republicans stabbed their constituents in the heart and voted to pass it…… You remember now don’t you? Well, those who voted on it could not remember much seeing as how it DOESN’T EXIST: Nobody could have read the bill the House passed last night because there is no bill. There apparently wasn’t time to pull together a finished product that accounted for the hundreds of pages of amendments because of Pelosi’s headlong rush to slam this lunacy through before anybody had a chance to learn what was actually in it. So there is no ...
