I've voted Republican for the last 20 years, but I've become increasingly frustrated that the GOP has become an abstractionist party that refuses to work for the betterment of the country. There is nothing in this bill that they should oppose.

Did you read this bill? What in the world to wooden arrow shafts (not to mention another good dozen non related items) have to do with "Energy Independence"?
This is one of our major problems -- everyone piggybacks their agenda on to an important bill and those who are paying attention to all the boondoggles say ....
I don't think so. Why can't we just stick to the point and get something done instead of all these secret "deals" that have nothing to do with the name of the bill?

If over the last 6 years we had invested $1.4 TRILLION in tax credits for americans to install alternative energy sources and purchase Hybrids, We would not need any Iraqi oil and 4,000+ of our best and brightest would still be with us.

It will be very difficult to restrict the biodiesel credit to US consumed or produced biodiesel without it being a plain and direct infrigement of the prohibition of export subsidies under WTO rules. Europe has already opened a thorough investigation into the imports of subsidized US biodiesel which could very well lead to the adoption of a provisional tariff to compensate for the unfair advantage given to US producers. Competition should occur on a level playing field and distorsions are what cost the US taxpayers and ultimately what lead to higher prices crippling the customers' budget.
Farmers already benefit from record high food prices. They do not need additional subsidies.

I've got to agree with Kibby - congress needs to restrain themselves from lumping all the pork barrel and poison pills into every promising bill.

SHAME ON YOU!!!
Are the Buy-Part-Of-Sin wooden arrows pulling the wool over our eyes?
When gas is equivalent to the hourly wage of an employee, main street businesses didn’t get to where they are at by borrowing money to make payroll. Get real!! They are borrowing to pay the unbelievable and unforeseen increases in the general cost of doing business in this backwards economy.
I am not alone in the anger that is shared by ‘MAIN STREET”. I will not vote for ANY politician who votes to pad the pockets of those who finance their campaign and my opinion is being echoed in conversations across the country. Remember politicians; if you don’t get elected your value is ZERO to you corporate friends.
This bailout doesn’t save one single home or help one family. If you want to help American, get some handcuffs and a backbone. Lower fuel cost and the economy will rebound. "

I am ashamed.
I believed that our elected reps were there to represent us, the and I am seeing clearly that our representatives are not listening to us, the people at all. Money talks and it talks shamelessly. So much that our reps are selling their mothers and every person who encouraged them to stand up for what is right.
THIS ISN'T RIGHT!! It's like buying the best air compressor ever made for a tire that exploded six miles back. You can't breath life into a reckless drunk driving victim, you can hopefully lock up the loose cannon, but you can't fix stupid. Don't enable! Don't invest in what is so wrong!
