No Shame

It appears that the GOP has absolutely no shame whatsoever. They have just passed another giveaway to the oil companies as if the are not already choking on profits. The bill will allow oil companies to skip important licensing rules and "streamline" the process of building new refineries.
Nothing in the bill addresses natural gas prices or makes an effort to reduce the cost of gas at the pump.

At one point in the debate Waxman of California shouted. "Is this the House of a Banana Republic?"

All this bill does is allow the oil industry to avoid environmental rules and force states and communities to accept refineries they don't want.

I just can't believe they have the balls to try and push this over the goal line. I hope the Senate has a little more understanding of the real problems we are facing but I feel little hope.
