Obama’s New Regulations Will Hurt Arizona Families
WASHINGTON – Today, President Obama will announce a new set of climate change regulations that will raise energy costs and stifle economic growth. This, four years to the day, after he pushed Congress to approve his cap-and-trade scheme that the Wall Street Journal called, “the biggest tax hike in American history.”
Across the country, Americans are still struggling from President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies. It’s time for Kyrsten Sinema to stand up and reject Obama’s new regulations that will raise energy prices and hurt job creation.
“President Obama’s plans for higher energy costs will hurt Arizona families,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “It’s a disgrace that Kyrsten Sinema would support polices that stifle job growth. While families across Arizona are tightening their belts, she’s ready to take even more of their money.”

At The Time, The Wall Street Journal Called Cap-And-Trade “The Biggest Tax Hike In American History.” “Americans should know that those Members who vote for this climate bill are voting for what is likely to be the biggest tax in American history. Even Democrats can’t repeal that reality.” (“The Cap and Tax Fiction,” The Wall Street Journal, 6/26/09)
