I guess I’d better get off to Costco for some no. 10 cans of baked beans.

R or D, it doesn’t matter in the least. Crony capitalism is a way of life with these useless turds.

It’s up to the House to stop this nonsense. Boehner will be up to the task. /s

Wind tax credit. Well, those folks in Washington are experts on wind.

Well, if these Senators can resurrect this subsidy from the dead, maybe they can do the same for all of the dead birds that these windmills kill.

"Its up to the House'
I recently read another article on this subject which said that close to 80% of US windmills are located in House Republican districts. And, that close to 75% of windmill components are manufactured in House republican districts.
To: Izzy Dunne
Grassley defended the credits, saying that it would be fair to give alternative energy sources credits similar to the ones that traditional energy receives.
The 100-year-old oil and gas industry continues to benefit from tax preferences that benefit only their industry, he said. If Senator Grassley is speaking of the "Depletion Credit", which is what most critics cite as an oil industry subsidy, it should be pointed out that it applies to mining, drilling, quarrying stone, or cutting timber (Pub.535) as well. The concept matches to that of depreciation that any activity has a finite life and as such, these credits serve to encourage re-investment in order to sustain the enterprise. In short, it is a canard, usefully rolled out for lack of a better argument.

The legislation originated in the House and was then sent to the Senate.
Supposedly, the House republicans purposely left the windmill tax credit out of the legislation, so that Grassley would have a role in getting it added.
To: Izzy Dunne
While it may suck, it can also benefit preppers for buying wind generators for a possible tax CREDIT!?

Grassley is such a liar:
The uncertainty it creates for the renewable crony capitalist industry has slowed growth in this sector

If it Moves, Tax it.
If it Keeps Moving, Regulate it.
And if it Stops Moving, Subsidize it.
F*ck our current government.

close to 75% of windmill components are manufactured in House republican districts. Unless we have a lot of House members with Chinese addresses, I don't think that's true.
