Comments on: Memo to Washington Post: Editorial page editor Fred Hiatt just recycled a right-wing WSJ op-ed. If you won’t fire him, could you move him over to obits where he can’t hurt anyone? http://climateprogress.org/2009/06/01/washington-post-fire-editorial-page-editor-fred-hiatt/ The Latest on Climate Science, Solutions, and Politics Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:35:13 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Matt Dernoga http://climateprogress.org/2009/06/01/washington-post-fire-editorial-page-editor-fred-hiatt/#comment-64531 Matt Dernoga Tue, 02 Jun 2009 06:35:49 +0000 http://climateprogress.org/?p=7365#comment-64531 Interesting we both blasted the same op-ed, albeit your blasting was more thorough, although I like my picture. Thanks for the context provided about where the $1600 cost came from. I thought it was just not accounting for an free allowances or rebates back to consumers, not that it was an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BILL. http://madrad2002.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/poor-post-op-ed/ Interesting we both blasted the same op-ed, albeit your blasting was more thorough, although I like my picture.

I hope they wake up. Even he who carves the tombstone takes great care to get the facts right.

Much better to offend yours.

The $1,600 figure estimated by Feldstein, a member of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, is close to the CBO estimate. [<em>JR: The net welfare cost is small. With all the provisions in this bill to protect consumers, push efficiency, and keep costs low, the cost per family is much, much lower.</em>] At some point the true per household cost of Waxman – Markey will be determined.
