Why are we even worried about congress passing cap and trade?

Working my way through the maze of things that are costing our country its sovereignty I ran across this little tidbit http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN08291298 , and I thought all we had to do was to stop this crap in congress. I don't know if the EPA will act on cap and trade but if they do, according to this article it will generate a nice little boost in revenue for the government without the need to pass another law… Guess who pays that little revenue stream for the government…
