Obama's ideology destroys our future... GOP points out the flaws.

At least we have someone in Congress voicing conservative concerns...but, is this just more GOP posturing? We know that Republicans added 40% of the pork to the latest spending bill...so, how can the GOP point a finger with one hand and dip into tax payers pockets with the other?

Odds are, they'll cut spending. They'll cancel orders for new equipment, cut health insurance for their employees, stop hiring, and lay people off." He also said Obama's proposal for mandatory limits on carbon dioxide emissions to combat climate change will lead to higher energy costs and amount to an "average hidden tax increase of around $3,000 per household a year." The Obama administration maintains that revenue from auctioning off carbon emission allowances would offset much of the higher energy costs for many Americans.
