What a disaster.
This legislation is going to kill the American economy and devastate the middle class and small businesses.
if it does come to law and doubles electric bills it will increase just my power cost alone at my businesses 175,000 bucks a year
not to mention how power costs affect everything else
and this is VERY IMPORTANT:
many well meaning but utterly hopelessly naive folks here who only have business knowledge from the internet and books or goofy college professors hiding in the sanctuary of academic tenure, think that all costs such as these can be passed on just like magic to the consumer.
that is utter hogwash bullshite...a pure lie than many conservatives who can’t resist latent populist resentment can’t resist
it is impossible, we have to eat it to some degree
and given this economy we will be eating a lot
only businesses who can pass this on like nothing are monopolies...nice job if you can get it and even they have to get approval...that and folks with informal collusion
in the competitive world you find where to cut to make this up more than simply raise prices, you just raise prices and someone down the street will cut cost elsewhere and underprice you
it is not like folks think....it’s laughable how little some conservatives know about owning businesses
(not u)
Here’s a link to the roll call vote: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll477.xml
I’ll extract the Republican names and post them in a couple minutes.
They are stealing money as fast as they can.

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the bill as passed? I would like to print out the bill, take it to the meeting with my congressman, and ask him whether he actually knows what is in it.
We need to know the names of the repubs who voted for this! Let them know their political career is over!!!
Mark Kirk of Illinois is a closet Democrat. He voted against ANWR, and a slew of other Dem projects. And here he is supporting this POS. If the people of Illinois don't call this phony out, he'll end up as their next governor.
While we’re clobbering the Republicans who voted for it, don’t forget the Blue Dog Democrats who voted for it.
I have no idea why so many are focussing on the 8 GOPers. The so-called conservative dims who voted for this POS should be the real targets. Let’s keep the blame where blame is due - the dims.

LEAVE THIS DEFUNCT UNION NOW!!
This is my rep.She’s a hardcore D and voted for this travesty without blinking an eye.I’m putting her on notice that she is a target for defeat in 2010. It doubtless is an uphill fight in this heavily Democrat district, but any steps, however small,have to be taken now to overturn this statist oligarchy.
Who were the three who didn’t bother to vote, anyone know yet?
[Passes 219-212, 8 Repuiblicans for it could have killed it]
I doubt it, but they could have forced 8 Rats who were allowed to vote “no” to vote “yay.” Just stupid on the part of these RINOs.
