'Misread' or Mislead?

" This is weak and everybody else would -- the economy the figures we worked off of in January where the consensus of his most of the -- most of the blue chip index's. We miss red how bad the economy was but we are now only about a 120 days into. The recovery package. The truth of the matter was no one anticipated no one expected that that recovery package would in fact be in a position at this point of having distribute alcohol."

" He thought this was the worst economy since the Great Depression -- that was vice president."

" Joe Biden yesterday discussing the stimulus package with ABC's George Stephanopoulos."

" And if the stimulus screw up wasn't enough or brace yourself for the gargantuan cap and trade bill."

" Making its way through the Senate right now Ainsley Earhardt has more on just how much this will cost you and your family. --"

" Thank you show on what last week the house nearly passed the Waxman Markey cap and trade bill which plans -- reducing carbon pollution 17%. -- 22 when he. And 83% -- 2050 we might have cows assault going to happen will basically by making it expensive to pull it. The government would be about pollution permits for free at first but it eventually would charge companies for them. So how much will this cost you and me well it depends on whom you ask. The Congressional Budget Office says -- 20/20 it would cost the average US household 175 dollars and higher energy costs. But the American Petroleum Institute put the bill's cost at least 3300. Dollars per family including the -- including the projected impact on the overall economy. So look at it this way the media and come for a family of four here in the US is 73000. 276. Dollars they spend approximately a thousand dollars every winter heating their houses and about 3000 dollars filling up gas pop. Well according to a study by The Heritage Foundation. Under cap and trade energy cost of that same family will go up 436. Dollars in the year 32. And they eventually get 1241. Per year and 2035. By then electricity cost what 90%. Back 2035 and gasoline by 58%. Natural gas up 55%. The cumulative higher energy costs for a family of four by 2035. Will be nearly 20000. Dollars. But homes aren't the only things that use fuel obviously what about the cost of food an air travel. We'll let Air Transport Association estimates an added cost. A five billion dollars right away after -- 32 then -- when he 30 billion. And you think that those those baggage fees are -- now we'll obviously they're gonna pass along those -- to you when you buy your tickets still looking at the overall economy to Heritage Foundation analyst. A Waxman Markey is determined. That the carbon tax would cost the economy 161. Billion dollars and 20/20 which averages out to 1870. Dollars for that same family of four. At the bill's restrictions kick and that number goes up to 6800. Per family back 2035. Big numbers back tee shot."

" And thanks -- we continue the discussion with the president of the ward doctors pollster Frank Luntz is back analyst frank good to see if art of -- what -- some that is this was going on who -- love what they."

" Cap and trade hadn't been the same person created managed care know enough to cap and trade is it sounds like some sort of baseball terminology as we head towards the All-Star game. The problem that both sides have is that they happen to find the debates the Republicans are trying to make this about money the Democrats are trying to make this about the environment. Neither side has penetrated the American people focus a bit more health care that they are cap and trade and we got a couple clips that we doubt last week. The first witness said John Boehner the leader of the Republicans in the house. Which are looking for is that the lines go about the seventy that's a successful communication. But -- speaks you can see a very wide partisan divide acoustical."

" This bill also cost two point three to two point seven million Americans their jobs. That's because giant energy. Industries like the steel making industry. Won't be located the United States anymore. They're going to be shipped. To our competitors in China India South Korea. I don't even have half. Of the electricity early. EPA guidelines. And environmental guidelines that we have here in America."

" look look it let me -- and -- from a bizarre -- you look at the Republicans have resonates with me what he's saying and I the I think that's right but. The Heritage Foundation to the study 3000 dollars it's gonna cost every American family. Is that illegal war for the personal lives and what it's gonna cost you this what is gonna cost her family or. Is -- on target. He's on targeted."

" Personalize and enough and that is if you talk about every tax everything's gonna cost you on an individual basis it's more powerful on the democratic approach. Is to talk about climate change and when you've seen what happened with Katrina Al Gore's movie. The public does believe that the environment needs to be addressed and so the battle now -- who's gonna offer the most jobs by the green jobs are not who's got the best solution to deal wouldn't let me."

" Ask you because no new information came out this is the -- list. June on record that eighth coolest a nickel back to the eighteen hundreds frank and I've actually gone back to cotton. Well I but the point is is that most people may be buying and how was movie but it's not it's not reality that's not something."

" Let's accept that we looked at and add to see if the 32 communication is cutting through the clutter and frankly it's not this time they started zero and they climb in the -- the look at a trade ad by. By conservative organization and it just doesn't score all that well mystical. Under my plan. Of a Cap and Trade System. Electricity rates. Would necessarily skyrocket."

" And it will lead to higher energy bills for just about everyone and even some Democrats are blind to match nobody nobody in his perfect realizes. The perpetrators attraction as your great big what. I thought by playing the Obama cut which basically reinforced everything Republicans -- sent a vaccine effective to me right away I got my attention is it too inside."

" cap and trade is boring doesn't capture the public's imagination so you and I have to find a way to get people pay attention. The environment is a recent pay attention energy prices are reason the pay attention and all the rules and regulations. About jobs the fact that this is a job killing bill that that manufacturers and an outsource a lot of there Protestant. You know products and jobs and you know we'll tell you that the environmental community's best campaign so far this year. Has been calling them green jobs and then and all the doll test that we Don green jobs does resonate with people for the first time in the debate the American people think that -- right. Challenging environment actually create jobs have been -- just a question on the way could use study words and communication so. It's gonna cost about 3000 dollars and family we know that for a fact the next thing we know is we're gonna lose two to three million jobs even including the quote green jobs. So how do you explain this to people the way that bill understand that this is bad for America and that this is based on publicized had it couldn't get the first part is do they actually believe that jobs will be lost they actually believe that that he'll be higher cost. If it's what's interesting is that Joe Biden in his comment where he said that we misjudged the economy. Actually undermines the Republican effort to say that this is a job killing bill wine because nobody trusts anyone's facts in the morning Washington. They believe that the Democrats gonna paint their picture Republicans and rightly so -- question is if my prediction."

" In other words that we spent so much and stimulus Saddam of this and and the three point six trillion dollar budget nationalized healthcare and cap and tax which folks and felons who would cost a fortune and you lose jobs. It's now they have sixty seats in the Senate they got the House of Representatives and healthy margin -- got the White House."

" At what point if this economy doesn't turn around."

" And that people feel the impact of these higher taxes and broken promises about not raising taxes."

" At what point -- people say you know what that bothers me that impacts me I now blame them."

" Crafts the American people concerned already the polling shows that on deficits on taxes and spending the majority of Americans think that the Obama administration has got it wrong and yet. His job approval is still close to succeed his personal favorability is up at seventy there is giving them a pass and Sean I think you're gonna give them a pass into 2010. To challenge for the GOP to 2000 pesky elections. I think it's in the past elections it's up to the GOP to offer an alternative they cannot just say no they have to have something that they are."

" I guess I have said that they've had to be the party of homeland national security. Fiscal responsibility energy independence free market solutions the American dream that's my platform after platform yes that's a platform of gold headed -- the -- I'm not running okay but the public doesn't hear that now that's the challenge eye to eye sight and it's not -- complicated. It really -- frankly does she want to see you back with files on health official pentagon."
