Cap and Trade in Plain English

It’s cap and trade fight time again.

For those of you who don’t have a good grasp of why it is we want to fight cap and trade, I’m here to help.  The people promoting it sound so very impassioned about the fact that we have to save the planet, and help all the cute fluffy animals, and that this will be good for the country, yada yada yada.  They’re all full of bunk.

But instead of going through the arguments against it, I’ll just tell you what will happen if this cruel joke becomes law in plain English.

Here’s the short version:

1. A bunch of special interests will get rich at your expense for no good reason.
2. America will lose jobs for no good reason.
3. Everything you buy will cost more for no good reason.
4. It will be harder to sell your house for no good reason.
5. You will have trouble affording the car you want for no good reason.
6. Our economy will continue to sink for no good reason.
7. It won’t be any good for the environment despite the empty promises made by politicians, and since that’s the whole premise of the bill, the misery it causes will be for no good reason.
8. And most importantly, because the “no good reason” I keep mentioning is the junk science behind global warming.

If you don’t know what cap and trade is, learn about it quickly.  If it passes, it will be in your face whether you understand it or not.

Oh yes.  The Master Maverick favors this bill, which is one more huge reason he deserves all the maverick support you can give him in 2010.
