Carbon Pricing Would Cut the Deficit and Create Jobs | ThinkProgress

As Congress takes a hard look at deficit reduction, we should put all of our options on the table. A price on carbon is one of these options. It could raise upward of $846 billion over a 10-year period, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. It’s no magic bullet for our nation’s deficit issues, but it is certainly a practical way to raise revenues while also creating jobs, fighting climate change, and saving programs for struggling communities. And you might not realize it today, but the policy does have support from across the political spectrum.
