President Obama's proposed budget laid out his assumptions that a new cap-and-trade program for greenhouse gas emissions would begin to generate billions of dollars in revenue as companies are forced to comply with a market-based program.

Obama's budget includes several principles on what the administration wants to see out of a cap-and-trade program, including emission targets that cut U.S. greenhouse gas levels 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020. Obama also wants midcentury cuts of 83 percent from 2005 levels.

The budget also includes revenue from a national cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emissions, which would come from auctioning off emissions permits to industries. The climate program would generate nearly $650 billion between 2012 and 2019, according to Obama's proposal.

$650 billion over 8 years? Don't bother uncorking the champagne. If the guy runs a deficit twice that each year, what does this revenue mean? Little.

All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.

I keep hearing vague promises of a 'clean energy future' but nothing specific on how to get there or any road map for progress. Nothing new, I guess. :cry:

So, tell me, how does this revenue proposal written on a budget draft prove it is all a scam?
