The Cap and Trade bill passed by the House last week is just packed
with goodies for those looking to the Federal Governent to take care
of them after protecting them from themselves and (trumpet fanfare)
SAVING THE PLANET!
Lessee, 3 years of unemployment when your job goes away as a result of
this wonderful legislation...
Don't like paying for gas (that will skyrocket in price if this
passes) to travel to your Federal Job Training classes? No problem!
Need to move to find a job after the left destroys your job (and the
entire job market)? Good news, The Federal Government will pay you a
relocation allowance!
Think you lost your health care when you lost your job? Never fear.
The government will pay for most of that, too!
More change you can believe in. YES WE CAN!
*****************
On p. 1157 of the bill, it says that a worker who loses his/her job
directly as a result of the changes made by the Cap and Trade bill
will be eligible for a special unemployment benefit in this plan for a
period of up to 156 weeks.
Yes, 156 weeks. That is three years.
"The climate change adjustment allowance payable to an adversely
affected worker for a week of unemployment shall be an amount equal to
70 percent of the average weekly wage of the worker," the bill states,
with the amount capped at the "average weekly wage for all workers in
the State."
And there are more benefits that would be offered to workers who lose
their jobs as a result of the climate change bill.
* The feds would "defray reasonable transportation and subsistence
expenses" for a worker who has to travel much farther to job training
classes that the worker's regular commute.
* The feds would pay the costs of on-the-job training at companies
where dislocated workers were hired. Training will be "limited," but
then the bill says that training cannot "exceed 156 weeks."
* The feds would pay up to $1,500 in "job search expenses" for
dislocated workers
* The feds would pay a "relocation allowance" to a dislocated worker
to help them move within the United States so that person can start a
new job
* During the time that workers are participating in special cap and
trade job training programs, the feds would pay 80% of that workers
monthly premium to help them continue to get health insurance
So you can add that to your discussion agenda for the holiday weekend.
