Ok, I called ALL of my representatives and Senators BEGGING, and I do mean BEGGING them to vote no.
Earl Blumenhauer’s “intern” actually tried to tell me that this bill will LOWER costs for the citizens of Oregon. I asked him, well if that’s the case why are there 3 years worth of unemployment benefits in it if its NOT expected to raise costs and create more unemployment??? He said well I don’t know why that would be in there. I told him, because they EXPECT it to cost jobs and thats exactly what the Congressional Budget office SAID that it would. I asked him if he bought milk. He said yes, I asked him if he was ready to pay more for his milk because it will cost the grocery store more to keep it cold and that cost will be passed back to you. He said no its going to cost LESS for the grocery store’s power. I got simpler on him, ok I have an apple, The government decides its going to take half my apple. They government can sing forever that I have a whole apple but I am still only holding half and the government still has the other half, what you SAY does NOT equal what you are DOING. He still didn’t get it.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES PEOPLE!!!! This Obamanation HAS to be stopped!
So what if the bill does benefit the state of Oregon, it is still unconstitutional and an assault on liberty. This bill would be a disaster for the country as a whole and is just another way for the Gov’t to rape taxpayers. You should have told the intern he was a jerk!
National Mining Association, which produced this map showing, state by state, how many millions of dollars in costs will be imposed on each state annually under the bill’s allowance allocation formula.

“why are there 3 years worth of unemployment benefits in it if its NOT expected to raise costs and create more unemployment???”
I like to equate it to NAFTA for the sky.
Instead of looking north to Canada and south to Mexico, you just look up.
You look up, while they reach in your pocket.
