Study reveals huge U.S. oil-shale field. No more discussion, no more hemming and hawing. If Leftists are so keen on weaning us off of "foreign oil" then we need to do this now. Today. Drill ANWAR and get this shale oil out of the ground. Build new refineries. None are being built now because any expansion in capacity may not have any increase in emissions. That is patently silly. Allow the expansion with incremental emissions. I'd be happy to pay 10 cents extra to buy domestic oil. I'd like to see stations open that only carry domestic produced and refined oil. I'd shop there.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
