The End of Prosperity is Coming

The House of Representatives votes Friday, June 26, on H.R. 2454, The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. This is the euphemistic name given to the carbon cap and trade tax bill that will increase the energy bills (electric, gas, gasoline, coal) of all Americans, as well as increase the cost to the consumer of everything that requires energy in its manufacture or delivery to market, which of course means the cost of literally everything.

This will lead quickly and irrevocably to a massive downturn in the economy right when we don't need it the most.

As I said in the title, the end of prosperity is coming. The first arrival announcement will be this coming Friday, assuming this bill passes. I have faith in the Democratically controlled Congress to always do the exact wrong thing, so its passage is assured.

I implore you to call your Congressman and Senators and demand that they vote against this bill. After it has been killed, then they need to burn the body and scatter the ashes. (You see, the bill is printed on paper, and burning it will release CO2 into the atmosphere and ...... oh, forget it. If you have to explain a joke......)
