Claim:
The American Clean Energy and Security Act is “a new tax that will cost every American $1,500-3,000 a year.” Jeb Hensarling (TX-R), 6/26/09
Truth:
How many times do we have to say it? The misquoted, misconstrued $3100 number is wrong. So wrong the author of the MIT report (where the NRCC got their numbers for their calculations) said the math is: “just wrong. It’s wrong in so many ways it’s hard to begin.”
The continued use of this wrong information at this point is nothing less than a deliberate lie to the American people.
Once again, let’s look at more accurate report. The EPA and the CBO both reported a carbon cap would cost less than the cost of a postage stamp per day per family.
It’s time to be honest with the American people.
