Democratic-led Congress Passes Phony Drilling Bill
// September 17th, 2008 // No Comments » // ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Pelosi and her fellow comrades think you’re stupid. Today Congress passed a phony drilling bill that allows offshore drilling within 50 miles off shore with state permission. The problem is that 88 percent of the 18 billion barrels of oil said to be under banned waters will stay off limits due to the likely scenario of state’s refusing to allow drilling.
The bill also imposes royalties and removes tax breaks for for the oil and gas industry. I suppose that Pelosi doesn’t understand that if taxes are raised on companies and industries then the rate hike gets passed to the consumer.
Although some Republicans voted in favor of the bill, most likely to avoid claims that they voted against offshore drilling, the majority of republicans are accusing Pelosi and her comrades of deceiving Americans in order to appear to support drilling during the election.
President Bush has said that he will veto the bill. Once that happens liberals and Democrats will point the finger at Bush as the reason there is no offshore drilling.
Don’t let Pelosi get away with this. Call her office: 202-225-0100. Let her know that you are not fooled.
