Nebraska Senator Recognizes The Devastating Impact Of Climate Change Tax Bill
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
We are fortunate that there are U.S. Senators, engaged in the debate regarding the Climate Change legislation being worked on in the U.S. Senate, who correctly assess that if approved the impact of this federal tax and punish approach will be extremely negative for those involved in food and fiber production. We greatly appreciate the work of key Senators like Nebraska’s Mike Johanns for his determination to put on the record the consequences of federal lawmakers going forward with the proposal to raise taxes and expand government’s grip over the use of energy by the productive segment of our country. His recent Senate floor presentation rightfully sounded the alarm for the serious mistake being considered as a “must do” piece of legislation.

The increased level of attention to the details and ramifications of how America’s economy will be affected need to be translated into legitimate responses from those who represent us in the U.S. Senate – as opposed to those responses we’ve gotten back from Senator Harry Reid, telling us he thinks Global Warming is a problem and it won’t costs that much (using outdated evaluations by an agency that is almost required to support the official game plan). Over the summer vacation break that brings our elected officials home for face-to-face time, we need to press for a commitment that our already badly damaged economy will not be subjected to further harm by a politically-inspired crisis over a questionable “scientific” theory.
