“IDIOT! If we were dying for oil, I would be paying $0.24 a gallon right now!”
No joke! Not only that, open up the Outer Continental Shelf, ANWR, and other oil producing areas that won’t impact regular Americans whatsoever!
“Are you listening/watching CSPAN right now? They cant even tell the Republicans where they can get a copy of the bill! This is INSANITY.”
Yup. This would be high comedy, if it wasn’t going to cost me $5,000 - 10,000 a year.
Waxman is literally buying votes with OUR money.
There still “looking” for the missing 300 pages. Chairman says it’s at the “desk”.
Markey says the missing 300 pages are at the website. In the cloakroom there is access to it. “The cloakroom, not on the floor? “ Not physically available.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Years ago, I talked to a guy in NC whose winter heating bill was $400+ for the coldest month at that time.
Who has double that kind of money to spare?
Here, it’s colder, and swealtering hot in late. Think about YOUR utility bills. Gasoline costs.
Then, there’s the extra fees and penalties now being levelled if you go over expected usage.
It’s like watching one of those medieval torture movies with rocks being piled on someone over and over and over.
Marley is saying that it is on the desk and has been, it is not missing 300 pages, but wouldn’t give up 15 seconds to republicans to get it!
It is not an addendum, the 300 pages dont go in one place, they are trying to figure out where they go.
AMAZING, most expensive bill in congress today and they are down to the wire, putting an additional 300 pages into it and no one can read it because they are fixing it!
What a screwing we are getting!
Maybe this will dovetail with the coming national-socialized medical program that will be shoved down our throats. Bot will combine to kill off the old and sick faster than necessary to SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY!
Where could you make up that missing $5000 to $10000 per year? How much do you pay in income taxes?

It costs me $800. a month to heat my home in the coldest months here in NY. I have 3 small kids.
If they do this I don’t know what the hell I am going to do.
Three if by governmnent!
That was embarrasing...Markey DENYING one (1) minute to the Republicans to just make sure that the full, original bill is available.
There is also a ‘placeholder.’ These critters will be VOTING ON BLANK PAPER.
Just gives that warm, burning feeling all over.
I don’t know where the poster about the ‘placeholder’ is now.

Told my husband I called Castle. Well damn, husband is a constitutent too! So he asked for number and he called.
Mike Castle is a REPUBLICAN folks. From Delaware. A real Rino.
Castle has an interesting demographic in that he is Delaware's ONLY Rep in America's House, Delaware being one of the few states that has TWO senators and only ONE rep.
Castle is also actively flirting with running for senator from Delaware, figuring he might be the only pub what can beat that quasi-Biden now holding place for Beau Biden. Castle can be right about that too. Delaware natives are rare, most being transplants much like myself. They know the names Biden and Castle.
BUT....Mike Castle better watch out with this vote.
The 300 pages apparently are modifications to the bill and not just appended pages. These clowns are writing this on the fly. Up to no good no doubt.
Then their vote should be NO!!!! :(
