That's the problem with cap and trade, it can lead to abuses. No question about that. It's no secret that Enron was pushing hard for Cap and Trade. I wonder why? :) On another note, looks like Obama wants to recoup the cost of the bank bailouts through a tax. I'm all for it. If they are going to abuse tax payers by paying out ridiculous bonuses they got by borrowing at 0% interest rates and investing in US bonds, at taxpayer expense, then I want that money back through higher taxes for them. Obama to target banks with new levy By Tom Braithwaite in Washington Published: January 11 2010 20:55 \| Last updated: January 12 2010 14:50 ft.com The Obama administration is planning to impose a new levy on top US banks, to pay for the financial bail-out as part of the budget to be presented in February. The surcharge will aim to recoup the full cost of the Tarp bail-out fund, which the administration estimates at $120bn, although officials expect the ultimate cost will be less than $100bn.
