Let’s have meetings and hearings and create new laws. This is their ticket. These people are so entrenched into politics, win at all costs, they’ve lost focus on governing our country.

Pathetic.

Nothing like a good Senate committee hearing, white paper, statement or press conference to fix the real world right up.

Words and “study” always work don’t they. Much better than actually DOING something.

The next best thing would be to get the UN thinking and “working” on it.

1) Spend more government tax dollars.

2) blame ‘big oil’, those evil corporations.

3) Elitist senators to the rescue of the ‘common man’.

Same B.S. different page!

We are doomed. Doomed. Once the US Senate gets involved we are DOOMED! They will be talking about this for the next 50 years. And doing NOTHING.
