Cap-and-Trade and the Cheap Energy Illusion

Another soft shoe endorsement.

" Reilly stated that it was misleading and simplistic to only look at the impact on energy prices, as it didn't account for the proposals that have been designed to offset the energy cost impacts on middle and lower income households."

Do any of these proposals factor the lateral costs associated with transportation of all goods an materials; food? I think not. And like all government studies, including any of the ones you cite, have you ever heard of one that comes in line with projected costs, I mean ever? I think the anticipated costs are grossly underestimated, that the proposal is in fact too complex to accurately account for every cost and that it has a gigantic risk of being an albatross around the neck of our economy. Let's also not forget that this is yet another bill being rammed down our throats that most in congress haven't even read and certainly it doesn't have the transparency promised by the administration.
