Oranges are freezing and millions of tropical fish are dying in Florida, and it could be just the beginning of a decades-long deep freeze, says Professor Mojib Latif, one of the world's leading climate modelers...*snip*
Well, all I gotta say is that we are sooooooo lucky to have such intelligent and responsible elected officials in Washington who would never even think about increasing taxes on gasoline and heating oil and other petroleum based sources of energy. I'm positive they know what effect that would have on our economy and the ability of folks to afford to stay warm in the coming ice age... right? ...I mean, right? RIGHT?!?!
Obama's 2011 Budget Tax Hikes Contradict Focus on Job Creation

President Obama has said his number one goal for 2010 is to create jobs, but the abundance of tax increases in his recently released 2011 budget contradict this objective.
Higher taxes on businesses, upper-income taxpayers, and fossil fuels; an increased death tax; and new taxes to pay for health care would destroy jobs and slow economic recovery. Congress should reject these higher taxes and the rest of its business-killing agenda to speed economic growth and encourage job creation...*snip*
The tax increases proposed in the budget break down into six broad categories:
1. Higher Taxes on Businesses...*snip*
2. Higher Taxes on Upper-Income Earners...*snip*
3. Death Tax Increase...*snip*
4. Higher Energy Taxes. The budget increases taxes on oil, gas, and coal companies by repealing several tax credits available to these businesses.
These energy companies would undoubtedly pass these tax increases on to customers in the form of higher prices, which will increase costs across the entire economy. And higher taxes on energy would act as yet another deterrent to job creation, since they increase the cost of doing business, which includes hiring new workers and retaining existing ones.
5. Health Care Taxes...*snip*
6. Other Taxes. The budget includes several other tax increases, including taxing carried interest as regular income, closing the tax gap through stricter enforcement, more taxes on businesses, and making the unemployment insurance surtax permanent.
This long list of tax increases shows that the Administration is desperate for revenue and looking under every rock to squeeze more and more money out of individual taxpayers and businesses...*snip*

Oh, well; we better HOPE it doesn't get much colder than it is now because the only CHANGE we're going to end up with is what we've got left in our pockets after being rapped by this PROGRESSIVE federal gubmint!
