Welcome to Socialism, how’s that hope and change working out for ya?

A License Required for your HOUSE?

If you own your home you really need to check this out. At the end of this
email is the Google link to verify. If the country thinks the housing
market is depressed now, wait until everyone sees this. No one will be
buying homes in the future.

A License will be required for your house. no longer just for cars and
mobile homes. Thinking about selling your house? Take a look at H. R.
2454 (Cap and Trade bill). This is unbelievable! Home owners take
note and tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!

Beginning one year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won’t be
able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy
and water efficiency standards of this “Cap & Trade” bill, passed by the
House of Representatives. If it is also passed by the Senate, it will be
the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.

The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that
in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be
$6,800 per year. No one is excluded. However, once the lower classes feel
the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure that these voters will get a
tax refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. On a daily basis we look to http://cellspyapps.org curate what we feel are some of the best deals on technology products.
Thus, you Mr. And Mrs. Middle Class have to pay even more since additional
tax dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else.

But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has
many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this: A year from now
you won’t be able to sell your house without some bureaucrat’s OK. Yes,
you read that right.

The caveat (there always is a caveat) is that if you have enough money to
make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if
not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes (“mobile homes”) are
included. In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home without
the permission of the EPA administrator.

To get this permission, you will have to have the energy efficiency of
your home measured. Then the government will tell you what your new energy
efficiency requirement is and you will be required to make modifications
to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act, to comply with the
new energy and water efficiency requirements.

Then you will have to get your home measured again and get a license
(called a “label” in the Act) that must be posted on your property to show
what your efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star efficiency
rating label on your refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don’t get a
high enough rating, you can’t sell.

And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every
year, even above the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the
Act. The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap &
Trade program (AKA the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009″)
and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and
standards he/she alone determines to be in the government’s best interest.
Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass Congress. Then
the Administrator can set new standards every year.

The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for
private and commercial residences and buildings. However, the EPA
administrator can set higher standards at any time. Sect. 202 – Building
Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the
energy efficiency of all existing homes across America.

Beginning one year after enactment of the Act, you won’t be able to sell
your home unless you retrofit it to comply with its energy and water
efficiency standards. You had better sell soon, because the standards will
be raised each year and will be really hard (expen$ive) to meet in a few
years. Oh, goody!

The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand
dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements IF you meet
certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional
requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants. You should expect
requirements such as “can’t have an income of more than $50K per year”,
“home selling price can’t be more than $125K”, or anything else to target
the upper middle class (that includes YOU?) and prevent you from
qualifying for the grants.

Most of us won’t get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the
retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more “change you
can believe in. ” Sect. 204 – Building Energy Performance Labeling Program
establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence will
identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for “at l
