I was not suggesting that $175 was a lot of money. I was merely posting a link to an article that is on-topic.

The gist of the article is that this figure is much lower than the costs that opponents of the pending climate change legislation have claimed.

An opposing view is also presented:

Quote:
Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), said that the CBO analysts "got an unrealistically low number for cost per family because they didn't factor in the millions of American jobs that will move overseas if the United States imposes this tax and our foreign competitors, like China and India, do not. I don't know what color the sky is in a world where that won't happen, but I'm sure you can ask the unicorns."
