In today's message to his constituents my Representative said that the House, last Thursday, passed a number of bills aimed at better energy use and costs and more jobs bills attached to energy production. Anybody here want to bet that Dirty Harry hasn't tabled the whole thing by now? These are some of Rep. Huelskamp's communication to us.
On Thursday, the House passed a package of legislation to help bring down the costs of domestic energy and to spur job creation as a result of expanded energy production. Among the bills in this package were measures to assess the impacts of EPA rules on gasoline and diesel fuel costs, to require the Secretary of the Interior to pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes traditional and renewable sources of energy, to open more federal lands for drilling, and to scale back the red tape that keeps energy projects from going online.
The GOP leadership in the House knew fully well that most of their screwball legislation would never see the light of day in the Senate, but they passed them anyhow to try and fool you into thinking they're "doing something."
Frankly, they'd probably be aghast of the Senate passed a lot of that stuff because they'd then be responsible for the effects of them.

In other words, to give the oil industry a free hand to do whatever the hell they want to do. And you bought it - hook, line, and sinker. Good job!!
Since oil is what has built the US to what it is that is probably a wise choice by the house. Then we have Obama trying to remake America somehow by throwing up windmills and mirrors which is a total failure and you support that. Ever heard of don't fix it if it aint broke? I guess not. Maybe we should have never tapped that first well back in the day and still be riding around on horses and buggies plowing the fields with oxen? That is sure progress.

Obama is throwing up windmills? Are you aware that Texas, under Gov. Rick Perry, now leads the nation in the number of wind generators and the amount of electricity produced by them?
Those bills will be thrown on the pile in Reids' office of the other 32 job creating bills that have been sent to him by the House in the last 1.5 years.
Different tool, same outcome, stops everything the other party is trying to do.
Both sides are guilty. One thing for the Democrats though, the Senate was designed to be able to block the house. What it wasn't designed for, in the constitution, was to force a 60 vote majority on each and everything.
But, as I said, both guilty, just telling the other side of the story.
When will people realize that both sides do the same thing. If the situation was reversed, republicans would be blocking everything the democrats would try to pass.

Did you ever hear of the EPA? Sure the EPA needs to be reigned in some but without it we would all be screwed.
