Sen. Obama's lynchpin policy is a climate change bill that would cap emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases and tax those that doesn't meet the standard. Obama contends a transition to a lower carbon economy will create up to 5 million jobs and the new taxes would bring in millions of dollars in new revenue. He will use all of his new presidential political capital to try and force a contentious greenhouse gas bill through Congress.
I sure hope that I misunderstood what I think I heard this morning. Along with all things becoming more costly as the producers pass on their new tax hikes to the buyer, as Obama restores the Clinton-era tax rates, raises the tax rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends, takes away your 401(k) to dole out to you later along with it's possible three percent earnings, he is also going to add a new tax onto all greenhouse gas emitting properties. The list I heard this morning was long and almost unbelievable! It may take awhile to work out the taxing details and implement the tax for some items, such as wood burning stoves and fireplaces, leaf burning and more but the thing that really got me was a new quick tax stuck on some food items such as pinto beans, navy beans and even cabbage. Lord help us!
A trip to Columbia and the cancer doctor for the six month check turned out beautifully as Glenda and I had suspected. The doctor was proud of her health but still wants to keep the appoints every six months.
I'm not going to go into our 'after the appointment' activities much, other than to say we drove west and had a huge buffet with ribs and many other good things. And it was given to us at no charge what so ever. However, after the meal we strayed somewhat from our walk out the door path which was a mistake, tho not too overly costly.
