WHAT domestic manufacturers, Mr. Rat? With the demise of the modern tungsten incandescent bulb, a few of which were still cranked out domestically by bitter clingers, there are only fronts for the made in China curlybulbs.

Those “energy efficient” bulbs are filled with mercury and will poison our landfills and water.....It will cost more and use way more energy in the end-— to clean up all the hazardous waste that is in those bulbs coming from China. We will be poisoning our children if those bulbs break inside the house and the cr*p gets into landfills and water supplies....think of the cost of having hazardous waste specialists come into your house.

Marxists are trying to destroy this country with insane laws and regulations.

LOL, They won’t defund Obamacare or planned parenthood..but throw us a bone with lightbulbs so we can all cheer how “conservative” they are. Yawn.

This is what I have come to HATE about our body politic & LOVE about the framers of this great republic!

Fat ass, corrupt trash, voting on light bulbs while spending trillions & trillions & trillions, all the while presiding over the demise of America for their own gross material benefit!

Tarring & feathering is far too good

Wake up!

Not so fast. Te Senat won’t touch it and Obama wouldn’t sign it anyway.

In a voice vote, the House approved an amendment to the Energy and Water spending bill for 2013 that would prevent the Department of Energy from spending money to enforce a 2007 law that sets bulb standards.

Great thread! HOORAY House! Thanks to all posters. DEFUND/DISMANTLE the D.O.E. Why are we paying them to spend our money and regulate us into the ground?

We're broke. Socialists did it.

About damned time that these jerks.are beginning to feel the heat from "We the People."

If they are beginning to notice highly entrenched pols being beaten in primaries or even challenged, when they never were before and now are having wake-up calls (T.E.A. Party anyone) then so much to the better.

As for me, I'm still sick of the attitude that a smug and "holier than thou" congress decided I had to have new toilets that had worked for decades! I'm still mad that this crap was passed in '07 and Bush signed the lunacy!

Maybe while they’re at it they get their ugly paws off the preparation of our food. My Mcnuggets taste like plastic and my french fries tastes like they were soaked in degreaser.

I do not like them light bulbs.

I do like the LED’s but they are pretty dang’d spensive....

Still, they cut down on the heat in the kitchen.
