This topic will not be very popular with corporate types, but think of all the good that could be done with those obscene profits? The Big 4 oil companies have made $123 billion in profits.
I am working on a piece about this subject and will post it as soon as it is finished.
Think of all the infrastructure good that could been done will nationalized oil and the end of an obscene war? Maybe then the American people will get the attention they have needed for a generation.
This past month of March, the Congress spent as little time as possible on actual legislation. And as usual I will give my analysis of the past month’s work for our Reps. But first, the scores so far this year:
January 08–1 step backwards
February 08–No step–a stand still
Mar ch 08–
1–failure to override torture veto–backwards
2–Failure to override FISA–backwards
3–Failure to pass the Empolyees Freedom of Choice Act–backward
4–Hearings on oil profits–forward–not a good step but in the right direction.
Those were the major issues that the Congress faced and the score for March is 2 steps backwards.
Since the new Congress has taken over, they have NEVER moved forward. Now someone remind me of why we sent these people to Washington?
