Barack admitted as a candidate in 2008 pitching his so-called "g***n e****y" plan, "Under my plan...electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." And for him and his Hollywood elite supporters, a rise in electricity rates are just a drop in the bucket.

But for millions of Americans, a ten, twenty or thirty percent increase in electricity costs are really a burden.

Now, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been drafted as a taxpayer funded m*****a in what has become Barack Obama's "War on Coal." In fact, the EPA'S most recent regulations completely ban the building of new coal powered plants and factories. Yet, by the EPA'S own admission, these new regulations will not have even the slightest impact on the environment. But it sure will have a huge impact on our economy.

These regulations are projected to cost our country at least $21 billion a year. Jobs in the energy industry and in manufacturing will be destroyed or sent overseas. In an already unemployment rife economy, millions of Americans will be put out of work, and several states where coal mining is a way of life will see their economies in shambles. And beyond electricity, the cost of fuel and goods is bound to skyrocket as well.

What possible reason would the president have for sending hundreds of thousands more workers to the unemployment lines? Is it his aim to actually see our country fail?

Think about it!

Cold Iron,
Who would have believed we would be this far down the socialist road ?? Just one more good reason to REPEAL the Redistribution/Control Act called Obamacare. This act will eventually/ultimately destroy the prosperity of the US, even those receiving the "free" stuff won't be better off.

The end result will be that all of us, (along with the original recipients) will lose the financial freedom to be responsible for ourselves and we will all be forced to subsist on minimum government handouts.

BTW, isn't this racial discrimination? If you are a black person, are you comfortable with this return to a racial discrimination (b****s-free/w****s-pay) policy?

I'm so sick and tired of the tried and worn out mantra the dems always use to start something - that mantra is WAR on this or WAR on that. There actually IS one war, but not the one you think. The author and the poster have no clue what the fuss in the Republican Party is about. I'm no longer a Republican, but I understand what it's about.

I am perfectly happy with the government shut down, 365 days a year if possible. It is the only vacation I have from their meddling and screwing up my life. I am very opposed to this "plan" which grows government when we should be carving out large chunks of it that have no business at the federal level to start with.

Betcha anything that I could, with the help of a dozen good conservatives produce the plan to reduce the size of the federal government, CONSTITUTIONALLY, within 2-3 weeks without hurting a single hungry, sick, or poor person, and without raising taxes on anyone or anything. It would, naturally not be acceptable to the big papa people, the "democrats", AKA thugs, in Congress or to the "President", AKA top thug. The political left cannot afford to reduce the size of government because that would be the antithesis of collectivism and statism. The political left cannot exist without government telling them what to think, what to say, where to go, what to protest, words to use, mantras to bawl, insults to make.

THE WAR, if you insist we are at war, is one between free men and collectivists who demand to control free men. That is the ONLY WAR IN EFFECT IN THE USA even though the left is doing its damnedest to get physical war going. If war happens, it happens because of the left's lies and harms done to the nation and to its people.
