		<description>John Reilly, the studies author has since admitted that he made a &quot;boneheaded mistake in an excel spread sheet&quot;, and, therefore, the cost would be $800.

Additionally, Reilly&#039;s estimate jumps to $3,900 per household when you include the $3,100 that the average household would have to pay in higher energy prices due to cap-and-trade.  He doesn&#039;t count that $3,100 in his estimates since they would pay for government programs and &quot;benefit&quot; the households.  Personally, I&#039;d rather have the money then another government program.

$3,100 + $800 = $3,900

Please don&#039;t allow that little fact to get in the way of your teeth-gnashing and conspiracy theories though.</description>

		<description>REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICA’S ENEMY WITHIN

Republicans ARE practicing seditious DEMAGOGUERY and insurrectionary OBSTRUCTIONISM intended to destabilize our economy for purposes of political exploitation.

Republicans AREN&#039;T making a sincere effort to STOP the bleeding THEIR incompetent leadership and failed policies created. Instead, they&#039;re using conflicting economic theories as a smokescreen to conceal their subversive agenda, which is to cause President Obama and America to fail so they can blame Democrats for the consequences of THEIR calamitous mismanagement.

Republicans ARE preposterously professing that THEIR disgraceful political WHORING had nothing to do with the banking, real estate, stock market and employment catastrophes that resulted.

Republicans ARE trying to hamstring Democrats to prevent them from exposing the damage caused during a Republican presidency. 

Republicans ARE offering controversial arguments they know no one can agree on to disrupt and prevent progressive change. They&#039;d rather divide America and create political gridlock than endure the political consequences of effective Democratic governance. That&#039;s how they gained power and that&#039;s how they&#039;re trying to retain it.

Republicans AREN&#039;T the LOYAL OPPOSITION. They ARE the ENEMY WITHIN whose personal priorities have eroded their moral and ethical standards to the point that treachery and betrayal are their preferred modus operandi. 

It&#039;s one thing to advocate their conservative beliefs; it&#039;s another thing entirely to willfully sabotage America&#039;s government because a successful Democratic presidency would not be vulnerable to the greed, fears and hatreds that have produced and sustained the radical Republican corporatism and extremism that have poisoned and crippled America.</description>

		<description>Alejandro, frankly the Clinton administration did a very good job with the taxes intrusted to them. I can not say the same about the Bush Administration. Face it, you Republicans don&#039;t have a leg to stand on. You guys can&#039;t read or do your elementary math. Are you a product of the no child left behind program? Remember that fantastic program.

Very humbly

&lt;blockquote&gt;In 2004 Americans burned through about 140 billion gallons of gasoline. This translated - at about $0.09 per gallon - to approximately $12.6 billion in oil company profits. These are the profits Hillary Clinton wanted to seize a while back, to pour into a new government slush fund for “alternative energy” solutions - uhm, like the Tesla. No mention of what the government has done with the tens of billions they’re already raking in - as pure profit - from the sales of gasoline.

By comparison with the oil companies, the pure windfall profits to State and federal government from the sale of gasoline in 2004 was approximately 63 billion dollars - about five times as much as the “obscene” oil company profits Clinton wanted to steal. This is simply in keeping with the Democrat mindset: all industry is simply a source of revenue for the government.

Oh, and that whole ethanol thing? Ethanol additives reduce gasoline efficiency considerably. This forces consumers to purchase more gallons of gasoline. And every gallon of gasoline has that same (average combined State/federal) $0.45 tax, regardless of how the ethanol additive hurts mileage. Guess who has mandated ethanol additives, forcing you to purchase more gallons of gasoline, forcing you in turn to hand over more money to the government. That’s right: the government.

Electric cars will mean a windfall tax revenue loss to government that they’re simply not willing to accept.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

And if Boner tells you he shot a 72 on the course today, he’d be referring to the first hole and the bar after he couldn’t finish the 2nd hole.
