Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a few choice words about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) landmark climate-change bill after its passage Friday. When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, "Hey, people deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t..." I think that pretty well sums up the "cap-and-trade" bill! It's going to cause us to be more dependant on foreign sources of energy. It's going to cost jobs and, most importantly, it's going to hit everyone big time in the wallet!
