“together with Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee Chairman Duncan Hunter (R-CA)”

A name to keep your eyes on. For the future.
Like, maybe as a presidential candidate.

So this is where this leftist bastard ended up—as a congressman. He was insurance commissioner and this is his most recent incarnation. Another reason for term limits at every level of government. They all take us for fools to stay on the taxpayer teat.
“the legislationwhich requires a small percentage of exported crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be transported on U.S.-built and U.S.-flagged vessels.”
Excellent!
Government mandating job creation. Who is John Galt?
We used to be the worlds biggest maritime nation. But progressive taxes and regulations drove most of that offshore.
Garamendi? What’s the trap?

We are broke, folks. We won’t be able to pay the light bills in ten years.

Gerimindi is my Representative after the legislature gerrymandered Republicans out of my district. His interest in this I suspect is to increase union jobs. Instead of shipping our country’s natural wealth out of the country he should push for more refineries and fewer blends to give Americans lower fuel costs. As far as that goes a national strategic resources list should be established and reserves stockpiled so we are not at the mercy of globalized dominate sources freezing us out in times of conflict.
But Obama said those jobs weren’t coming back. How can this be?
