While people were mourning the passing of Farah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson this week a battle raged in congress over the cap and trade bill that could become the largest tax increase on the American people in history. The bill narrowly passed in spite of an overwhelming Democrat majority.


Why wasn't this bill a slam dunk if it is such good legislation? Why the rush to pass this bill, and why was a 300 page amendment added to the bill at 3am? Why do our representatives rush to pass bills they haven't even had the time to read? Because if the American people had an opportunity to know what was in this bill it would die an instant death.
