The President himself said that his plan would indeed cause "energy costs to skyrocket" a few years back.
The plan he is implementing is fulfilling his promise.
I was hoping he was actually going to do SOMETHING to help people and show me that maybe I'm wrong about "man made" climate change.
But instead, he chose to punish people with even higher energy bills coming their way in an already weak economy.
And at the same time didn't do anything to actually "fix" this imaginary "problem".
I have to ask myself again:
Why doesn't the President or Congress actually do something that would help everyone...well, I already know the answer to that: They are greedy fucks who are out to enrich their cronies.
BUT...just imagine if President Obama had come out today. Given that entire speech about how global warming is "man made" and it's even more serious than all the wars and terrorism in the Middle East (meanwhile he is bombing the fuck out of the mideast and after the speech he put out a bigger "carbon footprint" by jumping on Air Force One and flying out of there than 17 cars do in a YEAR!)
But then...instead of trying to cost everyone in the coal industry their jobs, and instead of figuring out new ways to tax companies in the U.S. and drive them out with this new plan and drive energy costs through the roof for struggling American families....what IF he had instead allocated a huge chunk of money to put solar panels on EVERY home and business in the United States?
Instantly millions of new jobs would be created. Solar power would be a reality in the United States within the year. The Green Energy movement would be solidified.
The Earth would be saved, the economy rolling, and Pres. Obama could finally be a hero.
But nope. That isn't what happened at all.
Fuck, there is no hope for our country with the way our govt. is fucking us.
