What has happened there is disastrous. Manufacturers have moved their facilities to countries such as China and India, leaving thousands unemployed in Europe. Moreover, since China and India have poor oversight over their manufacturing plants, emissions have gone up. So thousands of jobs lost and all for naught.<br /><br />Cap and trade is nothing but a scam to eat away at even more of our individual rights and to feed the pockets of the Big Green lobby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449585739874626782.post-4232345721697721452009-07-09T14:04:57.825-07:002009-07-09T14:04:57.825-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449585739874626782.post-28688026730328132342009-07-08T21:23:52.361-07:002009-07-08T21:23:52.361-07:00How is this bill any different then the dozens of ...How is this bill any different then the dozens of other bills bouncing around. Our legislature is notorious for passing bills that do nothing. Democrate or republican it doesn't matter which side is in power, it's always the American people that get screwed. Truth be told, industry needs to clean up their act. We no longer can afford the wanton pollution of our skies, land and waterways. Those industries that don't pollute should be rewarded, those that pollute need to be punished. If they want to take their pollution to another country, let them go. You might be surprised by how many decide to stay. This bill sucks plain and simple. You're right, it does nothing to help clean up pollution. It's not even a good start but did you really expect better from our government. They can't go to the bathroom unless it goes to committee first. As for the EPA, when was the last time they protected anything but their own asses. To tell you the truth I don't think this administration has a real clue what to do but you know what, McCain wouldn't have done any better. The road ahead is filled with landmines and no one, democrate or republican has a mine detector.Iranoreply@blogger.com
