whimsy asked:


They want to “drill baby drill”, yet ignore the fact the Alternative Energy initiatives will create new jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities and improve the economy.

I never knew that repblicans advocate such things as borrowing (Bail outs and the economy) without having a plan to improve revenue streams, as well as are willing to rapidly consume a resource with no regard for what happens in 10 years afterwwards

This energy tax WILL KILL MILLIONS OF JOBS! De ms are out of control! More absurd democratic policy. This ensures long term unemployment over 12%.The only consolation-this is a government change bill-revenge next fall!

If Obama plans to ask the Congress for more stimulus packages, more jobs, and his “clean” energy plans, how much debt do you think he will create?

Is it possible to face a depression under his administration, considering he and the Congress plan to increase spending and size of government?

Western European Mutt - WEM asked:


Dems, are you glad Americans in the energy industry will now lose their jobs since it’ll be cheaper to import oil/gas? We HAD our own energy sources in America but cap and trade will simply force them all to downsize or shut down completely. How is that good for America dems?

Boni asked:


They said it would create jobs.Job loses surprised on the up side in today’s government report . Now Democrats want to tax energy which will kill even more jobs. Why do you sign a bill to create jobs and then work to pass a bill to kill jobs? And wait: lets spend another 2 trillion we don’t have on health care. Aren’t you thrilled with Obama/Pelosi-the party of UNEMPLOYMENT!

Lady B asked:


Drilling for more oil will create jobs, get us out of the middle east, it will keep the price low and everyone will benefit from that.

Clean Coal technology would bring in jobs etc….

Wind & Solar. There are many companies that already do this and to incorporate them into the mix would help. Maybe Obama could get them to lower costs for homeowners and businesses etc…. This could be new jobs.

Natural Gas is another USA Resource that would create jobs and keep the cost of Natural Gas down.

Pellet Stoves - why isn’t this into the mix? I live in New England and we spent a total of $ 650.00 for the whole winter season.

ETC….

We have so many natural resources here and none of the stimulus package is geared towards that.

What do you think?
Jacques: Infrastructure? Are we not being taxed per person per State for this? I think we are. I think each State should be held accountable for their own projects. Why should I have to pay for my State and other States?
