The massive energy tax couched as a climate bill, most often called Cap and Trade, is only the latest incarnation of liberal genius applied to energy policy. Remember it was Pres. Jimmy Carter (D) who championed the creation of the U.S. Department of Energy, which was accomplished during his first year in office. (Quick: Name three stellar accomplishments of the Dept. of Energy. Yeah, I can’t either…) Now we have Pres. Obama pushing for a massive additional layer of bureaucracy for energy policy, accompanied by new taxes which will, by Obama’s own admission during his campaign, lead to greatly increased costs to American families for electricity and fuels.
As you think about whether this legislation will accomplish its stated goals, keep the two headlines in this article in mind.
