We can debate the merits and cost/benefits of a comprehensive energy/climate bill.
But please, lets not start with the dishonest distortion of the facts by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (or the American Enterprise Institute) as was the case in Merc's most recent cut/post.
That's bad news for taxpayers. The Obama administration reluctantly admitted last month that cap-and-trade would cost the average American family $1,761 a year.
That is a rosy prediction. A Heritage Foundation analysis pegs the cost at an average of $2,979 a year and as much as $4,600 a year by 2035. Jobs will disappear, energy prices will skyrocket, and the American Dream will become an unattainable fantasy for many.
Talk about the "sky is falling" ...
"jobs will disappear, energy prices will skyrocket, and the American Dream will become an unattainable fantasy for many."
