If They Actually Read Cap-and-Trade...

The more people actually read the cap-and-tax monstrosity, the worse the bill looks.  Jamie Dupree found three interesting items, Brian Sussman found a few more, and Michelle Malkin found that the bill isn't even finished yet.  You'll have to either click or listen today to find out what they are, but the Democrats know that this thing will destroy jobs.  They also had to hide their plans because a majority of Americans don't want to pay more to fight the phony problem of "global warming."

The Washington Post was caught trying to sell interest groups access to its reporters for a minimum of $25,000.  They're just desperate to pay the bills at this point.

 

California is paying its bills with IOUs now.  This is what happens when you let liberals run things.  Things are so bad that the federal government is considering seizing a few of California's state parks if they have to close as a cost-cutting measure.
