As if you needed more reasons to hate it…
I wrote yesterday of the havoc that the Waxman-Ma[la]rkey cap and trade bill will wreak on our economy. Today we learned that Waxman has added 300 pages to the bill overnight, at 3.00AM to be precise. This was a bill that no-one had even read by yesterday so heaven knows what extra bribes for weaselly congresscritters he has added. If you are calling your representatives to express your disgust, and I suggest you do, the good folks over at The Club for Growth, which has nothing to do with hair replacement, have come up with their fifteen reasons why the bill stinks. Here is one, but please read the whole thing.
Exacerbates the Economic Crisis: Studies from numerous independent research groups, including MIT, the Heritage Foundation, and CRA International, all agree that implementing a massive cap and tax scheme will cost millions of jobs, reduce earnings for the average U.S. worker, and devastate GDP.
Michelle Malkin has the latest disgusting details from the House floor. The usual lively discussion over at Patterico’s.
