A congressional monster

A congressional monster

EDITOR:

Friday night Congress passed a bill that will forever change America. In the name of climate change Congress decided to pass a monster of a bill without having sufficient time as to even read it. Congressman Tim Ryan of course supported this bill, which had 300 pages added to it at 3 A.M. that morning, so he certainly hadn’t read it all when he voted for it.

This bill will significantly hurt the working class people greatest as they are the ones who suffer most from higher energy bills. With the added taxes it certainly isn’t the energy companies who will struggle as they will pass this sinful tax onto the consumers. The CBO estimates this climate bill will cost the average household $175 a year because of this tax.

Not only are people going to suffer higher bills from passing the tax onto the consumer, it’s going to be a lot harder to find a job because of cap and trade, which is a part of the bill. Companies are going to find it a lot harder to stay in business producing things in America when the government wants to tax any productive entity. So, as Americans, we now have to deal with this out of control huge government, a recession that will be signed into law through this climate bill, and, without a doubt, higher energy bills.
