Of course the dems don't believe cap and trade costs jobs....we can't blame them for their fuzzy thinking, afterall that's what the Kool-Aid does to you. There are better solutions, but of course those don't benefit their agendas.

There is no admission that the Dems believe that cap and trade cost jobs - Dumb headline. Get hip, get a solar panel. Catch up, you know you love your iphone, its cool to keep up with the times. Global warming or not, he who controls green energy controls the world. Wake up and smell the carbon monoxide!

Where would it leave the producers of the red meat and the chicken that everybody in this country depends on as a staple in their diet if the producers are taxed out of business? Where is the meat going to come from? Overseas? What do you think you will pay for a chicken or a pound of hamburger if it comes from overseas? Good Luck on trying to feed this country!

Of course they say the earth is warming. We are still coming out of a mini ice age! The earth's temperatures were warmer in the 1400's A.D. than they are right now. That's when Greenland was settled and farmed. Before the next mini ice age set in and the people there perished. But the mini ice age ended in the late 1800's and now we are in a warming period again. Climate changes! That is what happens on earth. It will warm until it starts cooling again.

Interesting take on the potential effect of cap-and-trade on jobs. Readers of this blog may be interested in a piece I've written at www.LeoWellsBlog.com regarding the potential effect of cap-and-trade on commercial real estate.

If our energy use and these greenhouse gasses causes all this global warming what caused all the ice to melt that covered the biggest pat of the United States? I suppose it was the automobiles and refineries that caused it all. This is a money grab by the government. Think about it, $15.00 aditional tax on a 20 gal tank of gas which equqtes to $700.00 a year in new taxes. A promise broken of no new taxes on any one making less than $200,000 a year. Cigerate tax, Gasoline tax. Where does it all end.

please go against the cap and trade bill,our families depend on it.i think barack obama is worse than bush ,we would have been better of with john mccain.why can;t they see this will starve our children to death.the coal miners have been doing there jobs for generations,why not leave it alone.if you had to live on a small income you would see different,but you are millionaires and do not care about the middle class people.barack obama gives help to people who have not worked a day in there life and who are addicted to drugs,be for the people that built this country,the blue collar workers.help us don't cripple us.ypu have to realize we love our children but what is going to happen to them when they have no means of being provided for.come on wake up people and help do something about it.

I have a customer that does approximately $500,000 in sales with me a year. I was informed the other day by their top management that if the Cap and Trade Bill goes through it is very likely that they will move this company to Asia.
Currently they employ between 1,500 to 2,000 people yearly.
Secondly, before O'Bama won the election they where running 24/7. Now they are running barely over 50% capacity.
