I appreciate that you take the time to view C-span and understand that if something comes out of the House of Representatives it will be found on C-span or their website. Of course since it is a House bill and was debated and passed in the House of Representatives you may have also seen the actual body of the bill on the House of Representatives website. I also posted that the article was in the Washington Post with date plainly noted.

It's amazing to me that people can be so ill informed as to not know where to find the basics of our government's actions or the publication that is cited even when it is plainly spelled out.

I agree Navy. I think the Democrats really thought they could defeat this bill and realizes that a political blunder was made with such strong opposition in the face of what we are paying for gasoline now and what we will be paying to heat and electrify our homes this winter.

This is far from a perfect bill but I notice more and more that the Democrats seem to oppose and have no answers when it comes to, "What would your side do?" Not wanting something is fine and I'm sure many Democrats thought they were standing on principle but it is just not good politics to stand for negativity and obstruction without, at the very least, putting forth bills for consideration with the provisions you think will help the situation. You can vote no your entire career in congress but don't people go to congress to work for what they think is right as well as against as what they think is wrong?
