Not Yours To Give
lol - Trouble is, they won't end it at 100%. It will go to 110% -- then 120% ---
I live in Edmonton AB, and we have had a very mild winter. This global warming must be great for the poor with regard to their energy costs, so why are we passing this kind of legislation??
Just imagine if that happened. The work force would dry up.
Bravo Mr. Polk!!!!
Actually, in some ways it is the government's (or perhaps governments') fault. Strict burning laws, more regulations than you can shake a stick from an endangered tree at, not allowing people to have fires in their own yards, etc and so on.
Back in settler days you could do a lot more to keep warm. Try that now and see how fast the fire marshall, code enforcers, etc come a knocking on your door :)
This is a joke, right?
Snowe and the other Democrats are actually socialists, and the Republicans are fake capitalists. This is more of the same: unconstitutional redistribution of private property (income, assets) via taxation. Money is taken from me and you to give it to other people for their heating bills, housing, retirement, medical care, food, and probably for beer, cigarettes, and illegal drugs too. Where in the Constitution is this theft of property permitted?
Your link does not show that mistake!!!
Corporatists. They are both a bunch of thieves, the only difference is who they give your money to after they steal it.
It's nice to see how generous our elected officials are, with our money.
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -- James Madison, as he disapproved of an attempt to appropriate $15,000 for French refugees. 4 Annals of Congress 179 (1794).
Imagine this Tread....
Where does President Bush have a vote in the Senate?
Come on now, I know you ONLY want people to read your crap but get a grip here. President Bush isn't the problem, but the Senate GOP is.
But that's beyond you and doesn't benefit your quest of getting posts read by putting the some inane things in them.
And I am sure you will come back with "Let the adults talk here go back to your sports thread" or something simliarly useless, but the fact remains you only post to get people to read what you said as if it matters. And it doesn't.
Anyone got the vote tally?
The truth comes out at last! Of course, the crAP pulled those 2 paragraphs from the linked story.
Maybe if gubmint weren't taking so damned much in taxes and redistributing the existing money into their own pockets, everybody could afford heat (and yes, it HAS been a mild winter, SnoweJob).
Nothing here to see but the incremental socialization of American fuel, energy, and utility services, now everyone just move along quietly and remain in your peaceful stupor........../sarc
