In short, the “cap” is a legal limit on the quantity of greenhouse gases that a region can emit each year and “trade” means that companies may swap among themselves the permission – or permits – to emit greenhouse gases.

Obama said that if elected he would bring coal produceing companies down. Cap and trade will do this. Green house gases are bad and do need to go but lets set up enough windmill farms and other energy makers and put folks to work before you put them out of work by doing away with coal. This should have been done years ago.

You said "They pumped billions into the economy." Where do you think that money comes from? Who do you think will have to pay it back?
"jump starting the auto industry" You might jump start a car with a dead battery but when you get the car started you better go get a new battery or jump start it again and again and again!!!!!!!!!!

"Health care, they will deliver! All this in 6 months, whats not to like about the dems"?

Let me count the ways.

I normally dont read links but I did yours because you seemed to be informed. So here goes my short version, the icecaps are melting at an very fast rate. Some say its a natural cycle, some say its because the earth is warming. With a couple hundred years at best of data I tend to believe the earth is warming. If this country is 1st to do something about it maybe it can be slowed. If so then everyone can follow us but sticking our head in the sand isnt an option. I think we can all agree that there is a problem, not only with warming but with pollution of our air and water. I am not a doctor but has anyone noticed the cancer rate among non smokers? I say its the pollution but what do I know. I would think a consertative would love cash for clunkers, a tax incinitive, bush loved those tax cuts. I am trying to answer your questions but I have ran out of room and time.
