Here's the info you are looking for:

Cap And Trade Will Cost Households Just $175 Annually

And here's the info on taxes:

Historical Source of Revenue as Share of GDP

One year increases in spending are nothing compared to tax cuts without corresponding spending cuts in the long run.

I am not debating the CBO number. I am telling you the White House said it was MUCH higher, and if the White House says it, they will make sure it comes to pass (as far as taking our money.)

My "American Way of Life" is sustainable. I go to work, pay my taxes, and only spend the money I have in my pocket. When I want something, I save up and buy it. I prioritize my needs above my wants and I do not put my financial well-being in jeopardy because I "want" an iPhone or a nicer car. My government does the exact opposite knowing that, ultimately, I will foot the bill.
