EPA says Climate Change Bill will raise gas prices $1.50 a gallon. May 16, 2008
Posted by reformedville in : Government, Media , trackback“[L]et me tell you what’s heading down the tracks. In a few weeks, we expect that the cap-and-trade legislation that’s been voted out of Sen. Barbara Boxer’s (D-Calif.) Environment and Public Works Committee will be on the floor and according to the Environmental Protection Agency it will increase gas prices by $1.50. The National Association of Manufacturers says it will increase it as much as $5 per gallon,” Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) says. (video link)
Congress must be seeing if they can get their approval rate to drop even further

The theme of this campaign has been change, and I agree. It is time to dump the incumbants. Remember Congress went Democratic in 2006 and since we have had the Housing Crisis and now the Gas crisis, and their solution is to push legislation through that the EPA says will raise our gas prices 1.50 a gallon and promise the tax cuts will expire in 2011. If this is representation, who needs enemies?
I agree it is time for change and so does America.If this is a forecast of the type of change that people are hoping for theycan keep it. It has all failed in Europe and it WILL fail here too. Our Congress is either intentionally weakening this nation or they are just incompetent. Neither is acceptable
Compared to Congress President Bush is wildly popular among the folks!

It is time for change, but not the type that we are being offered. You need to contact your congressman and let them know if they vote for this bill you will remember to vote against them on election day.
