EPA

The EPA (Evironmental Protection Agency) came out in the last couple of days and made it clear: We are going to get the Cap and Trade program one way or another.

Essentially, they threatened the Congress. Either pass Cap and Trade or we will impose our own version and it is going to be a whole lot worse than yours. It's called extortion. It's called blackmail. Personally, I believe that when extorted or blackmailed you respond with a force exceeding their own.

Whether Cap and Trade is passed by Congress or the EPA begins enforcing their own version business in this country will be reduced by nearly 50%. The only place to make money will be in the trading of carbon emissions. A prime example is a steel company in Europe that blackmailed Germany by threatening to take 90,000 jobs elsewhere. They got all of the carbon emissions approval that they'll need for some time to come. And they made a fortune doing it.

Fax your representatives in Congress. E-mail your reprentatives. Phone your representatives.

Do one or all three then write your govenor and state legislators. The states will take a huge hit when even more businesses start down sizing and closing. Unemployment is going to go up even further costing the states even more money. Money that they are currently borrowing from the Feds. Your federal, state and local taxes are going to go up to try to keep up.

I don't know about you, but, I don't have money to spare.
