...critics have vastly overstated the likely cost. In fact, they're all but lying. During the House debate, Republican whip Eric Cantor, using numbers from an American Petroleum Institute study, said that the bill would eventually cost more than $3,000 per family per year - but those numbers assume that billions of tons worth of inexpensive carbon offsets won't be available under the bill, which would significantly inflate the overall cost. That's not going to happen. A more reliable study from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office forecast that the bill would cost the average U.S. household...
...Whatever the expense, Republicans are labeling the bill as a carbon tax that - on top of the stimulus and the push for health-care reform - America's families can ill afford.

...NCNA intends to take Snowe's concerns and turn them into action.

Cantor has been able to lure traders, bankers and analysts away from much larger firms in part by doing away with one of Wall Street's oldest traditions - the year-end bonus. Instead, Cantor is offering to pay most of its new employees in full each month, rather than holding a good chunk of their pay until the end of the year. "There is just too much variability in year...
...firm is taking advantage of the crisis to expand into more areas of investment banking. Teevan has hired 35 people since joining Cantor, with an eye toward building out its high-yield-debt sales and trading business. Other areas Cantor is looking to for expansion include the business of offering advice to troubled companies on how to refinance their debt. The firm is also hoping to break into the business of underwriting stock and bond offerings. "I am very happy I made the move to Cantor," says Teevan. "This place has been rebuilt and it is thriving...
