POINT:
"The Waxman-Markey bill would set many records: the biggest tax
increase in history; the biggest government intervention in people's
lives since the Second World War; the biggest transfer of wealth
from consumers to special interests in American history; and the
biggest opportunity for corruption and manipulation by Wall Street
traders ever created. It would cause consumer energy prices to go up
relentlessly for decades, create some jobs while destroying millions
of jobs, and produce perpetual economic stagnation."

Easy answer: BOO!

Boo to what?

Harder answer, was WWII worth it? Is the longer term worth it? Are
your children's future worth it?

Worth not passing legislatioin that even the sponsor doesn't know the
contents of? Absolutely. Your childrens' futures should be worth it,
too.

You mean, like the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act?

You're probably right. John Conyers probably didn't understand what
the bill involved.




I'd hold off on the talking points until you understood the entire
picture.

Which talking points, Dave?

The ones you posted?

The one in favor of the bill, singing it's praises or the more reality
based one?




Of course, you could just go off on it prematurely, and try to get
it nixed out of ignorance.

You mean like the main sponsor is doing?

Does it really not concern you at all when the sponsor of the bill
doesn't know the specifics it contains?

Pretty normal for large bills.

Such as?
