This thing is 2468 pages. The most fun thing for me was to open it in Adobe Acrobat and then search for the dollar sign character ($). You really gotta try it...it hits 1,456 times. LOL. The first one looks like this: (1) $10,000,000,000 for hazardous fuels reduction projects within the wildland-urban interface;

The 2nd hit is this: (2) $4,000,000,000 for, on a determination by the Secretary that hazardous fuels within the wildland-urban interface have been effectively treated to prevent the spread of wildfire to at-risk communities, hazardous fuels reduction projects outside the wildland-urban interface that areβ€”...

Search for the word Petroleum.... On top of everything else they are doing to try and eliminate fossil fuels, it looks like they are going to try and tax it out of existence.

Thank you for the link. Sad to read. The unethical work of some American leaders will be punished in the next life, forever. The unethical taking and spending of money is completely immoral.

It would be nice to send a snippet to Maliotakis, once a week, and to her constituents. So they can read, for themselves, about how that disaster of a Representative, that rode President Trump’s coattails screwed them over and that NOTHING will come to their district. No roads will be fixed. No bridges repaired. NOTHING.

Hopefully, she would have the decency to resign but that ain’t gonna happen.

How many tags do we all get, and how much do we get paid when we fill them?

At some point - soon - the pushback will be epic.

There is no co2 methane tax in this bill. That has been utterly and thoroughly debunked. The whole internet hyperventilating started after a couple of academia peta antimeat types did a theoretical study with the transfer of the tax rates on oil and gas emissions at the same tax levels to the average methane produced from cattle, pigs and poultry.

Plenty of memory and CPU but just locked up Adobe and Preview.

Time to do maintenance on your box. Chrome will open it fine....provided your computer is working properly.
