Some neat stuff that this bill will be responsible for:
- Raise inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 74 percent
- Raise electricity rates 90 percent after adjusting for inflation
- Raise the cost of living of a typical household by $1,600 a year
- Raise residential natural gas prices by 55 percent
- Destroy 1-3 million jobs per year, every year until 2035
The middle of an economic recession is not a great place to raise the cost of living. Maybe they are looking for the needle to add to the haystack that will push us all over the edge.

I don't disagree that this tax is a bad idea. However, I am curious as to where you got these statistics from, as I highly doubt that this could honestly destroy 75 million jobs over 25 years, as that is just almost HALF of all current jobs.
Anyone proclaiming that is ridiculous, and risks credibility, thusly hurting their own cause.
