Palin Exposes Cap and Trade

Although it was baffling, I did find it somewhat interesting that during the presidential campaign of 2008, while America was getting it's ass kicked by suffocating gas prices, the one candidate with a background in energy was being attacked for her limited knowledge and experience in the functionality of Americas resources, commerce and economic marketplace.

When GOP nominee John McCain selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, most in America and those in the beltway scoffed at the selection. Palin, however, was well known in the circles of investors, as those with information and knowledge regarding energy were highly sought after. In fact, Palin had made a handful of appearances on The Kudlow Report on CNBC with Larry Kudlow.

The election is over, but those who do not understand energy, its costs to produce and bring to market, the impact it has in everyday commerce and how varieties of energy can play a role in providing America with efficient and cost effective power are debating policies which will severely handicap the potential of our great country going forward.

Of course, I am speaking of the limited knowledge of energy of President Obama, those who subscribe to the hoax of a lifetime in global warming/climate change/cooling and the stranglehold bill working through Washington known as Cap & Trade, essentially a huge tax on everything energy touches, which would be about everything. Remember, when you tax something, you get less of it!

The resignation of Sarah Palin as Alaska's Governor last week may have left some thinking (hoping) she is going away defeated. Think again. She has emerged with a blistering editorial, which could not be further from the truth, on a subject she is well versed in and a topic which is vital to be understood by every American. The disastrous impact this bill would have on small business and working Americans from sea to shining sea would stranglehold our economic growth for decades. All for a hoax.

Please take time to time to read the editorial by Sarah Palin in The Washington Post. Someone must tell you the truth, and for once a politician, is; Sarah Palin.
