The most unrepresentative of House of Representatives just slid through one of the biggest legislative debacles in our country's history. How did this happen? How could this happen? The way it happened was the complete and utter ignorance of the masses and the complete and utter apathy of most people in this country. It was passed by a majority of congressman never even opening it up and reading a single page.
Here are just a few examples of this lunacy that might see the light of day should the Senate also ram it through. We will be required to have a building inspection using a new national building code that will require us to pass a "green" set of codes, otherwise we will not be able to sell our own property. Oh and this inspection will be at our expense. Our electric rates will be rising for the average family somewhere between $1200.00 and $1900.00 per year. Can you afford that? Gas prices will likely spike $2.00 to $3.00 a gallon more because of the new taxes imposed to supposedly promote green technologies. Can you afford that?
Things are really getting out of control in Washington and we are all about to suffer from a massive growth in government and a massive cut in our personal liberties. No big deal right? It probably won't have much effect on me right? WRONG! If you enjoy paying higher taxes, higher overall prices and watching jobs continue to evaporate than no it will have little effect on you.
I still am amazed by how many people are just sitting back and watching everything unfold as if it was fiction. Oh, and I better get this blog online before Obama sensors it. You just can't make this stuff up. I would have never dreamed that this great country could go under such a heavy assault from the left and it would happen almost unchecked.
Our politicians should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. The perpetual process of getting re-elected and making careers out of what was never intended to be a career has really become a form of legal prostitution. I know...I know...I can hear the naysayers and see people reading this shaking their heads saying it's just another crazy right winger trying to spread doom and gloom. I hope you're correct. All I can suggest to you is to not just listen to what is being said but read and pay attention to what is actually being done and when everything is all said and done you might even say something to the effect...this guy wasn't so crazy. I want to be wrong about this, I really do. I can only react to what I see so take it or leave it but don't forget it and we'll revisit this whole thing in a few months.
