Cap and Trade Bill Takes Money from Arkansas Schools and Teachers

(Little Rock, AR - June 25, 2009) The Waxman-Markey “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,” also known as Cap and Trade, will take over $63 million per year from Arkansas’ schools through higher electric rates and natural gas rates*. This is an average of $232,000 per school district per year that can no longer be used to hire teachers or give teachers raises. These increased energy costs could also lead to higher property tax rates for Arkansas property owners.

The Hammer Drops!!! modern day prophecy from an Average American

June 17, 2009 By Douglas McIntosh If I had to describe myself in this moment of economic chaos, I would say I am the grizzled sergeant, war weary, caught in the zone of instinctive awareness that combat veterans have. In order to survive you become a detached, cynical professional. In the sense of college degrees I am a rank amateur. However, over the last decade I have called the economic sphere pretty well. Perhaps the timing has been off, but I have nailed the trends perfectly. It takes a while for a two inch garden hose to fill a swimming pool, but it will fill it. Likewise, the endless debt, credit and bubbles of the last 25 years are finally reaching critical mass. It is no longer a matter of whether we have an economic collapse. No it is a matter of the scope, the intensity and the social chaos that economic collapse causes. My moniker over at Tree of Liberty is Doomer Doug, so I know what I am talking about. In a phrase, it is not coming: it is here.
