For your information Cap'n Disingenuous, I haven't been ignoring this thread. I just haven't seen anything new from your side of the aisle, meaning "conservatives" and "Not republicans" in over a year now. Just C&P of the same boring old bullshit, hoping for failure.

Todays has been mostly you engaging in ad hominem against SaintPeter, and circle jerking with Vette.

I'll wade in when you have something new to say. Your dire predictions are still as bereft of reality as they were when I made this thread.

The usual spew from you, seek counseling.

The best part about the right wing now claiming that they want "jobs' is that anyone with any sort of memory will clearly recall them saying that automation and laying-off workers was good for productivity and profits...

Well, it is. But it's not good for this country...

But then again, neither are right wingers.

EPA regulation forces closure of Texas energy facilities, eliminates 500 jobs

By Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller



Texas energy company Luminant announced on Monday new burdensome Environmental Protection Agency regulations are forcing it to close several facilities, which will result in about 500 job losses.

The company will be idling — stopping the usage of — two energy generating units. It will also cease extracting lignite from three different Texas mines.

The EPA regulation Luminant cites as too burdensome is the new Cross-State Air Pollution rule, which requires Texas power generators to make “dramatic reductions” in emissions beginning on January 1, 2012.

“We have hundreds of employees who have spent their entire professional careers at Luminant and its predecessor companies,” Luminant CEO David Campbell said in a statement. “At every step of this process, we have tried to minimize these impacts, and it truly saddens me that we are being compelled to take the actions we’ve announced today. We have filed suit to try to avoid these consequences.”

The company said it has been trying to meet the new standards, but won’t be able to do so without closing down several facilities and eliminating 500 jobs.

“As always, Luminant is committed to complying fully with EPA regulations,” Campbell said. “We have spent the last two months identifying all possible options to meet the requirements of this new rule, and we are launching a significant investment program to reduce emissions across our facilities.”

“However, meeting this unrealistic deadline also forces us to take steps that will idle facilities and result in the loss of jobs,” Campbell adds.

Obama’s Jobs Plan Includes Major Tax Hikes

No firm details yet, but the White House acknowledged moments ago that the president’s jobs plan includes major tax hikes in the form of eliminating the itemized deductions that many Americans take on their tax returns. For instance, Fox reports that the president’s plan eliminates the deductions for state and local taxes paid. The administration estimates that the new taxes would raise $400 billion of the $447 billion price tag of the jobs package.

Developing…more detail as it become available.

Yep, tax hikes for rich people.

OMB Director Jack Lew said itemized tax deductions and exemptions for those making more than $200,000, and families earning more than $250,000 would be cut — raising about $400 billion to pay for Obama's jobs plan over 10 years. This includes a change to bring more hedge fund earnings under normal tax rules as opposed to capital gains rates.
The new tax rules would not take effect until January 2013, Lew said.
