We are about to get steamrolled by the largest energy tax increase in history and once again, it will be without anyone reading the 900+ page bill. When Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee insisted that the bill be read into the minutes of the committee, the Democrats hired a speed reader to read the bill. Speed Reader Reads the Energy Bill
After enduring about a minute of the yammering, the Republicans cried uncle, and everyone had a good laugh, about the whole thing. Once again the joke’s on us. The government will take away more of our liberties and it’s loads of good fun. Let’s re-elect them all to see what a rollicking good time we can have next.
On Glenn Beck’s show this evening he pointed out that the bill that created the Interstate Highway system in the 1950s was twenty-nine (29) pages and that they were 6″x9″ pages, not even 8 1/2″ x 11″. So we have another massive piece of legislation, no doubt chock full of goodies for the special interest groups (what else would require 900+ pages), that no one will read before voting on it; no one will understand what is in it, except some low level bureaucrats; and once again, we will be handed the tab.
What kind of representative government is this if no one represents us? They only represent themselves and how they can stay in power to pick up their six figure checks and perks and parlay that into millions more if they should leave office. It almost makes you want to take a shower after watching the news.
