Fun Fact

The more you hear about the details of the cap and trade bill that passed the House the more there is to complain about. The latest nugget has to do with the mandated retro-fits of private homes. According to Jimmie Bise of the American Issues Project
"Pay close attention to (iii), (iv), and (vi) because those hit you right where you live. What that's saying is the state will be empowered to inspect your home if you want to 1) renovate your house in any way that requires a building permit, 2) sell your house, or 3) change the name of the person responsible for any utility bill."

Talk about intrusive government. You could wind up with a bill for thousands of dollars just to change who pays the gas bill. Not to worry though, because after you pay for the changes up front, you can apply to have the government reimburse you for no more than half the cost. I'm sure the government will get a check to you right away. Although with the massive debts this administration is running up don't be surprised to get an IOU. That's how California is paying its bills.
