Rep. Thaddeus McCotter opposes the new ‘hunter gatherer’ economy

Well said!

“Today we consider a bill that claims that government can control the weather by raising your taxes, taking your job and dictating your life. In my state of Michigan , with a 15% unemployment rate, we know we cannot afford this cap and tax bill. Others, however, disagree.

“Make no mistake. President Obama pronounced: ‘This is a jobs bill.’ He is correct-this bill will destroy jobs. But then again, this comes from an administration that claims its trillion-dollar stimulus bill would stop unemployment from going over 8%.

“The argument for this bill is nuts on its face. Government cannot design our economy and prosperity; it can only engineer our decline in poverty. But such feelings explain why this job-killing cap and tax bill is a fundamental shift from a manufacturing economy to an old, green economy called hunting and gathering.

“Passing this abominable energy tax on working families in a recession shows this job-killing, budget-busting government doesn’t understand how much real Americans are hurting for work. This is the hubris of big government: the delusion that our families’ economic future rests in the manicured hands of Congress rather than in the hard-working hands of the American people. I disagree and I urge the rejection of this bill.”

Hear! Hear! It’s enough to make your blood boil! And in case anybody forgot, they couldn’t have picked a worse time to ram through this job killing boondoggle!unemployment-chart-2q-09

    I like to see the return of reason and common sense to government. The latest Obama nonsense of a government-run healthcare system is more than I can stomach. We need a concerted effort to seize the house back from the Obamanites would think nothing of destroying our economic freedoms.

    Could a new Congress undo the wreckage they’re causing?

      Thanks, AWM. I’m so angry right now. To cheer myself up I’ll find a few Saturday funnies. Maybe.

      Good grief. Now it’s in the hands of that great deliberative body known as the senate. I think I’m going to puke!
