How original!!!

As much as I normally disagree with Tom and his shrill, metronomic calls for "Green" investment, I was hanging in with him till he got to that point about how the Chosen One could turn it all around - to wit (paraphrased):

"I want to keep any revenue we generate here to build American schools, American highways, American high-speed rail, American research labs and American economic strength"

So, Tom would be in favor of adding the revenue from cap-n-trade (or a carbon tax) to the general fund to basically encourage more spending? Wow, what an original idea...NOT. Until the revenue from any such tax is refunded to the people or earmarked specifically for deficit reduction, you can pound sand. And, I hope every fiscal conservative out there sees it for the naked revenue grab that it is and votes it down.
