Obama hides his anti-energy policy with free market wording
Once again, the Left wishes to redefine the language, making something to be that which it is not. Obama at today's Town Hall event in Nashua, NH:
Relevant phrase concerning Cap N Tax Trade:
"...but the concept of incentivizing clean energy so its the cheaper, more effective kind of energy is one that is proven to work and is a market based approach..."
In the words of US House of Representative Joe Wilson: "You Lie!"
The take away that Obama wants everyone to keep in their head is simply a lie. A market based solution is simply consumers interacting with producers of goods and services. No one is coerced into either buying at a price that is too high according to their wants/needs or selling at a price that is too low for their costs / profit needs (and yes, without profits, there will be no producers).
What Obama, and other CapNTaxers use, gives the impression that this plan is just a normal function of the larger marketplace. What Obama is going to do is artificially support, via our taxes, the price of "clean energy" (just like the Soviet Union did for its favored consumer goods to its people) and artificially raise, via higher taxes, the cost of fossil energy sources.
The "market based approach"? Obama knows the truth - but does not dare to level with the citizenry. This is nothing more than more obfuscation from Obama - just as he hid his true policies intent during the campaign, he once again is using words to hide the fact that he has no problem is sending the average American's energy costs sky rocketing.
