Chaplain conroy let us pray. Loving god, we give you thanks for giving us another day. Lord, you know there are Many Americans who look to the peoples house as uncertainty about the future of the economy and their livelihoods hang in the balance.

They are not required to pay for the human health costs of air pollution and Water Pollution or for the costs of Climate Change. The public picks up the tab. So the required policy is to put a gradually rising fee on carbon, collected from fossil fuel companies at the first domestic sale, at the mine or port of entry, and 100 of the money s
