The mood of the country now is mad at Congress and the people has seen just how out of touch these demonrats really are.
So please please Dingel just introduce the bill and the American people will cut off the balls of every democrat in 2008 (including Hillary's too I hope!) for creating this cruel burden on the country.
What most people are only now just waking up to realize is the while damm stupid implementation of the Ethanol for fuel - all in the name of Global Warming scare.
As I was explaining to someone recently that
1) growing corn to get ethanol is barely break-even in terms of the amount of energy you put in vs what you get out
2) if you put 10 gallons of ethanol in an ethanol burning car vs the same amt of gasoline in an identical car that burns regular gasoline, when their fuel runs out the ethanol burner will have stopped 2/3 of the way
3) Using corn as the grain to get ethanol is a very poor choice since its now competing directly with food & feed for livestock (chickens, pigs, cattle, etc) and as a result all foods are now costing from 20-50% more than they did last summer.
So every time you go to buy groceries and see just how little you are getting for your money, just thank Al Gore and his Global Warming disciples for the ethereal sense of comfort of saving the Earth (and your hungry bellies) since your high grocery bill is helping to fight Global Warming.
Also, as the leader of this movement and OWNER of the CARBON OFFSETS Business he is entitled to get rich off it and do as he please RIGHT?
Your ethanol objections are bogus. dingell, on the other hand, is blocking an awful bill passed in the senate because he represents Detroit and the all knowing lawyers want to mandate new CAFE standards. That is the last thing a recovering auto industry needs.
