AFP just released a study detailing the special interest influence used to grease H.R. 2454’s passage through the U.S. House. The policy paper examines how campaign contributions, pork-barrel projects and free carbon emission allowances were all used to buy the votes of hesitant representatives. The paper also looks at how Wall Street trading houses, electricity producers and the Left’s political allies all stand to benefit from the Waxman-Markey energy tax bill.
Prominent sections include:

* Wall Street Getting Rich Trading Emission Permits
* Eco-Protectionism: Are Carbon Tariffs Smoot-Hawley II?
* Carbon Offset Credits and the Forestry Industry

Americans made clear that they won't give in to union intimidation and coercion without a fight, and at least for now, they won.
