Progressives in Congress are trying to sneak cap-and-trade through the Senate. They passed the energy taxes in the House, but the American people rejected the plan and senators will not support this policy.
Senator Reid announced last week that he will not attempt to pass cap-and-trade before November; instead he wants a so-called "noncontroversial" energy bill. But desperate times call for desperate measures, Reid is certain to pull out all the tricks to slip cap-and-trade through before he potentially loses control of Congress.
While conservatives are busy celebrating election victories, Reid's lame duck Senate will try to pass cap-and-trade energy taxes before the new Congress convenes in January 2011. And we know they will try.
