I call myself a"peon" because I am not a person of renown, not famous, and when I leave this earthly plain, I doubt they will fly any flag at half mast.
But on Friday of June 26, 2009 I watch the House of Representatives deliberate on the HB2454. It is a package that consists of over ,1000 pages, and from what I could glean from the Republicans, the package of information was not complete: 300 pages were missing. After much going back and forth between the Speaker of the House, and a Republican , whose name slips my mind, about where the complete package was, and the Speaker kept saying"... it's here at the desk." Well, it appeared to be another comedy of errors---except I wasn't laughing, and neither should any other US citizen!
Here's what I could understand: It's ( HB 2454) if voted on and passed by the Senate, is supposed to eliminate 7% air pollution by 2020.
There is again huge amounts of money that will be paid out in " Carbon Taxes" In other words until manufacturing plants can convert to energy systems( like wind turbines, nuclear energy)clean fuels, they will be charged a carbon tax. And the cost of the carbon tax will be passed onto , guess who?
It will cost us, 35%-40% more for electricity--- heating fuel, which cost 49cents a gallon in the 60's, went to $2.59/gal in 2007-2008 will be $7-$10.00/gal in 5 years: And so will your cost of gasoline rise beyone your ability to afford it!
The cost of all consumer goods will increase far beyond the earning capacity of the average American.
Thinking about the fallout if this HB2454 passes the Senate, is frightening.
Some of the people we voted in are not listening to us. I sent an email, and many others called our Ohio Rep., Tim Ryan, Dem. asking him not to vote for this bill. However he chose not to listen to his constituents. and voted for it. I won't be voting for him again!
So, anyone reading this get a hold of your Senator, and have them vote no for this bill.
If the bill passes, again a very few already rich folks will just be making more money off the backs of the rest of us 'peons'.
