Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after President Obama’s Energy Adviser Carol Browner admitted on today’s Meet the Press that the Administration believes a lame duck session of Congress could be an opportunity to pass the Democrats’ national energy tax legislation.  According to Roll Call, “Browner went on to say an energy proposal could ‘potentially’ come up in the lame-duck session.”

“The Administration and its allies on Capitol Hill ought to stop compounding the uncertainty in our economy by threatening to raise taxes on families and small businesses,” said Chairman Price.  “This week the House of Representatives should consider a resolution I have authored calling on Congress to commit not to come back for a lame duck session of Congress to pursue further unpopular items from the Democrats’ big government agenda.  This will be a vote for Democrats to say whether or not they will respect the wishes of the American people – whether they mean to join Republicans in listening to American families or whether they will continue to govern against the will of those who sent them to Washington.”

Putting a tax on Carbon would make the costs of driving, cooking dinner, turning on a light, mowing the lawn, turning on your computer, opening the refrigerator, turning on the stove, anything involving plastic, anything involving electricity, flying, anything involving gasoline all sky rocket, effectively killing any small business’s plan to hire more people or kill an families ability to save money.

Won’t this raise the price of absolutely everything? Raising electric bills will raise costs at every level of production, for our non-Amish brethren, anyway.
