Wow, my good realtor friend!
This do nothing guy from the Senate has hit the floor moving and shaking as PUSA. Somebody is planning his agenda and it isn't the God of us Christians. Any liberals who can still stand him should be happy, but not free American citizens. Screen actors, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, etc. are wallowing in obamaland while the rest of us suffer more and more. The land we once had is quickly floating down river with armtwisting politics from the highly questionable leadership.

Subject: homeowners - listen up.
Guys this not so much political but important information on taxing our homes.
Don't want to be bothered with "Political
stuff?" You'd better read this one. It will take
very little now to put it into actual law!!
YOU'D BETTER WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!
So you think you live in a free country. Boy have you got a surprise coming.
A License Required for your HOUSE?
If you own your home you really need to check this out. At the end of this email is the Google
link to verify. If the country thinks the housing market is depressed now, wait until everyone
sees this. No one will be buying homes in the future.
We encourage you to read the provisions of the Cap and Trade Bill that has passed the House
of Representatives and are being considered by the Senate. We are ready to join the next march
on Washington ! This Congress and their "experts" are truly out to destroy the middle class of the
U.S.A.
A License will be required for your house...no longer just for cars and mobile homes....Thinking
about selling your house? Take a look at H.R. 2454 (Cap and Trade bill). This is unbelievable!
Home owners take note and tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!
Beginning one year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be able to sell
your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this
"Cap & Trade" bill, passed by the House of Representatives. If it is also passed by the
Senate, it will be the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.
The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that in just a few years
the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year. No one is excluded.
However, once the lower classes feel the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure that these
voters will get a tax refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. Thus,
you Mr. And Mrs. Middle Class have to pay even more since additional tax dollars will be
needed to bail out everyone else..
But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has many more surprises in
it. Probably the worst one is this: A year from now you won't be able to sell your house without
some bureaucrat's OK. Yes, you read that right.
The caveat (there always is a caveat) is that if you have enough money to make required major
upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated
homes ("mobile homes") are included. In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home
without the permission of the EPA administrator.
To get this permission, you will have to have the energy efficiency of your home measured. Then
the government will tell you what your new energy efficiency requirement is and you will
be required to make modifications to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act,
to comply with the new energy and water efficiency requirements. Then you will have to get
your home measured again and get a license (called a "label" in the Act) that must be posted
on your property to show what your efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star efficiency
rating label on your refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don't get a high enough rating, you
can't sell.
And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every year, even above the automatic
energy efficiency increases built into the Act. The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will
run the Cap & Trade program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009") and is
authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and standards he/she alone determines to be in the
government's best interest. Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass Congress.Then the
Administrator can set new standards every year.
The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for private and commercial
residences and buildings. However, the EPA administrator can set higher standards at any time.
Sect. 202 - Building Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the energy
efficiency of all existing homes across America. Beginning one year after enactment of the Act,
you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with its energy and water
efficiency standards. You had better sell soon, because the standards will be raised each year
and will be really hard (expen$ive) to meet in a few years. Oh, goody!
The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand dollars to comply with the
retrofit program requirements IF you meet certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the
State can set additional requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants. You should
expect requirements such as "can't have an income of more than $50K per year", "home
selling price can't be more than $125K", or anything else to target the upper middle class
(that includes YOU?) and prevent you from qualifying for the grants.
Most of us won't get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the retrofit out of our own
pockets. More transfer of wealth, more "change you can believe in." Sect. 204 - Building Energy
Performance Labeling Program establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence
will identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for "at least 90 percent of the residential
market within 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act."
This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S. must be measured and labeled.
The EPA administrator will get $50M each year to enforce the labeling program. The Secretary
of the Department of Energy will get an additional $20M each year to help the EPA. Some of this money
will, of course, be spent on coming up with tougher standards each year...
Oh, the label will be like a license for your car. You will be required to post the label in a conspicuous
location in your home and will not be allowed to sell your home without having this label. And, just like
your car license, you will probably be required to get a new label every so often - maybe every year.
But, the government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency of your home should only
cost about $200 each time. Remember what they said about the auto smog inspections when they first
started: that in California? It would only cost $15.
That was when the program started. Now the cost is about $50 for the inspection and certificate.
Expect the same from the home labeling program. Sect. 304 - Greater Energy Efficiency in Building
Codes establishes new energy efficiency guidelines for the National Building Code and mandates at
304(d) that one year after enactment of this Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the National Building Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a certification from the federal government
that their state and/or local codes have been brought into full compliance with the National Building
Code energy efficiency standards.
