The Strangulation Bill is not law yet, but soon will be because of Snarling Arlen and two other Rinos. We still don't know everything in the bill, but Rush just read some of them on the radio. Here are just a few of the jewels of idiocy.
1) The "greening" of some federal buildings will cost 4 Billion dolllars.
2) The cost of manufacturing engines for hybreds cars is now 2 Billion dollars. In Great Britain last year, 135 "green cars" were sold in a nation of over 70,000,000 people. Even after mutiplying that figure by a factor of four, just to make a rough comparison to America's population, you have a figure of far less than 600 cars. It might have been 153. You do the math for the taxpayers' bill to prop up such a miniscule market.
3) Obama's ear tag, in a supposedly ear tag free bill, to his street thug former employer, ACORN, is between 4 and 5 Billion dollars. What a pay off.
That's around 11 Billion dollars which can be trimmed immediately. But we're not allowed to debate about this train wreck, the wreck we have to pay for with higher taxes. The bill is just moving money around from producers to the looters and the losers they represent. Eventually, the producers will refuse to foot the bill. CPT was right in posting a quote from Dr. Adrian Rogers today on the Townhall.com Blogs, which concluded by stating "You can not increase wealth by dividing it."
