Congress has gone on vacation

Question

and failed to vote on an energy plan. Had Pelosi allowed a vote on drilling off our coasts and in ANWR, the measure supported by most Americans would have easily passed and signed into law.

Is this just another example of how disconnected from the will and best interests of the people our do-nothing Congress has become?

Answer 1

The democrats want high gas!  They want it as high as it will go...that is why they're so opposed to drilling.  They know there is vast amounts of oil and getting at it will drive the price down.  That's why they split the scene.

Answer 2

They are always on vacation, what do you men gone on vacation?

Answer 3

Ther more I think about it, the better I think it is that they did not pass an energy bill.

  If they did pass a bill, what assurance  and what confidence do you have that they would pass a GOOD bill.? In my opinion, they would have just f@@@@d things up more than what they are.

  The simplest and most effective energy bill would be to tell private industry, ok! I challenge you you to come up with something that reduces our dependence on foreign oil which will also allow you to make a profit and which is good for the environment.Then get out of their way!.  This goes counter to anything Congress does.

Imagine them passing something "simple" and " effective"  It never seems to happen.

Answer 4

All I can say is thank God for small favors,as all they would have done is really mess things up with this tax and spend congress.With any luck they won't come back and we can elect someone that will do the work of the people.

Answer 5

Just a couple days ago Pelosi said it was her job to use her position to "save the world". Can you believe it? I just hope that the boneheads that voted for that hag are actually looking at what's happening. Problem is that she is from SF and they're most likely throwing Pelosi parties as we speak.

Don't worry, an alternative energy source WILL be found, you know, like the cure for cancer. In the meantime, s***w American families, they deserve high gas prices because they should be conserving anyway!!!!!

Answer 6

Congress is not at all interested in the "will and best interest of the people". They are way to distracted by their greed for power to worry about the trivial matters of the people of this country. Have you noticed their approval ratings?
