President Obama now absurdly states about cap and trade: “make no mistake: this is a jobs bill.” A GOP governor has found some different quotes from Obama and other Democrats on the bill. WaPo:

Job losses are so certain under this new cap-and-tax plan that it includes a provision accommodating newly unemployed workers…to the tune of $4.2 billion over eight years…the cost of farming will certainly increase, driving down farm incomes while driving up grocery prices. The costs of manufacturing, warehousing and transportation will also increase…

The Americans hit hardest will be those already struggling to make ends meet. As the president eloquently puts it, their electricity bills will “necessarily skyrocket.” So much for not raising taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. Even Warren Buffett, an ardent Obama supporter, admitted that under the cap-and-tax scheme, “poor people are going to pay a lot more for electricity.”

No doubt the NYT will have kind words for this Republican quoting the words of Democrats against them. Oops. We forgot. The Times already did. She’s a “nutty puppy.”
