Gingrich: Climate Bill Will Punish Americans

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says a Democratic proposal to limit global warming pollution will "punish the American people" with higher energy costs and lost jobs. Gingrich appeared before a House subcommittee writing a broad energy and climate bill aimed at cutting greenhouse gases by 80 percent by mid-century.

Gingrich, a leading Republican voice who has indicated he may seek the presidency in 2012, criticized the Democrats' cap-and-trade climate proposal. He called it "an energy tax" that will increase Americans' cost of living and kill jobs.

Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman of California accused Gingrich of trying to scare people into opposing action on climate change. Waxman argued the bill is designed to contain energy cost increases.

 

I pray the GOP and the republican party never go anywhere. This group of people have become my new source of comedy relief.:smt043

 

Newt Gingrich is irrelevant. The funny thing is he doesn't realize it yet.

 

Gingrich need to let it go. If the country declines then let it. Only the strong will survive.

 

this climate bill is not going to punish me at all!! I really like the climate bill the most! That should push the strictness out of us in the order to save our mother earth! Gingrich should get over himself!! Nothing that will punishing us! :smt043:smt043:smt043:smt043

 

Newt Gingrich's face punishes America.
