When the Heritage Foundation did its analysis of Waxman-Markey, it broadly compared the economy with and without the carbon tax. Under this more comprehensive scenario, it found Waxman-Markey would cost the economy $161 billion in 2020, which is $1,870 for a family of four. As the bill's restrictions kick in, that number rises to $6,800 for a family of four by 2035.

Waxman-Markey has negligible environmental impact. Less than 1% change in temperatures for a massive taxhike on the American people in the middle of a recession. What part of voting against this bill doesn't make sense?
