It is basically a gigantic energy tax, and if I am not mistaken, the BIGGEST TAX in recent memory.<br /><br />I find it also deeply idiotic that if energy prices skyrocket (and they will), the people will be hurt the most are the poor. Plus, this entire scheme is being undertaken at a time of economic hardship when employment is approaching 10%! This government "plan" is so incredibly stupid that the only the doctrinaire ideological radical statists/leftists could possibly think it's a good thing.<br /><br />The best comment I've yet heard on this is someone remarking that Obama's policies are having the effect of "shooting the US economy in the face." Too true?Mad Minervahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01649780647476573087noreply@blogger.com
