The tax is expected to raise $2-$3 billion this year.
40% of that money can't be spent on anything, it's discretionary spending.
The rest is allocated as follows:
- 25% for High Speed Rail on an annual basis
- 35% to the Sustainable Communities Program and transit on an annual basis into the following groups:
- 10% for Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program;
- 5% for Low Carbon Transit Operations; and
- 20% for Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities
- That leaves 40% of revenue that is discretionary. Cohen suggests beneficiaries could be Low-Carbon Transportation, Energy Efficiency, Urban Forestry, Forestry, Water, and Waste.

When I said "Healthcare for immigrants", I wasn't joking  |
how the fuck am I supposed to get an arcane picture with moonbeam photoshopped on it to mean that $250 million goes to a fucking train?
jesus fucking christ, I know I can cpmprehend a lot of shit ,but I'm not a fucking mind reader.
besides, $250 million at .10 cents a gallon happened about an hour ago.
not only that, you didn't answer the question, what does the tax have to do with cap & trade?
