Pay attention to the inconsistencies

The tax credit meant I could expect about a $10 per week "bump" in my paycheck.

On the flip side, Obama wants to tax what I pay in pretax dollars for health care. Well that's $4320 a year, and if taxed at 28 percent it would come to a tax of $1204.70 or about $23.75 a week. Not only that, during his campaign he said if caps on trade took effect the cost of energy would "necessarily skyrocket."

Is there anyone paying attention?
