I would have mentioned that Markey and Pelosi stands to profit from the passage of this bill. Both own shares in a cap and trade company who also would profit greatly. She should have recused herself.

There is no way to make sense of this irresponsible and irrational cap and tax plan. There will be no oversight of all these agencies, boards and groups. And judging by recent governmental waste and incompetence; this plan will lead to massive waste and fraud, all at taxpayers' expense and make our budget deficits continue to wildly expand! This plan would be a disaster to our already very weak economy. This disastrous plan has simply got to be stopped in the Senate! It will not accomplish anything except hurt families and businesses and further destroy our economy.
