Re: The 114th Congress: How Low Can They Go?
Well, if they can pass a budget (essentially meaningless, but required by law), that would be an improvement over the 113th, which didn't do so good in that department.
If they can pass appropriation bills and get them to the President for his signature before 10/1, that would be an improvement over a whole bunch of previous congresses.
If they can some how legislatively cut down on the power of Executive Orders, that would be an improvement for the entire country.
And they all lived happily ever after......CCT '77 & '78

Third most powerful member of the House (taking over for Cantor) is "David Duke without the Baggage"?

Obama's six year dodge on Keystone is getting tougher, with Congress sending a bill his way and the Nebraska Supreme Court taking away one of his primary excuses for the continued stall.Originally posted by PricelessOriginally posted by ScoobyDooOriginally posted by RoverComment

So in other words, we have a massive pipeline running through our heartland that produces most of our food, houses one of the largest aquifers in North America, carries no American oil (only Canadian), sends it down to the Gulf to be refined and sold internationally, and only provides a few dozen real jobs?Originally posted by Bob Gray View Post
That pipeline?
Jeebus, all it sounds like is us taking on all of the risk of oil production and none of the benefits.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

I'm very surprised you're for this. This is the sort of corporatist boondoggle slash environmental disaster waiting to happen that you usually oppose.Originally posted by Bob Gray View Post
Or is it that while you oppose it you also think Obama's fancy footwork on it is BS? Because... well, actually, that I can see.Cornell University
