Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi supposedly now will allow a House vote on offshore oil drilling.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is going to try to keep a lid on the issue on his side of the Capitol via a continuing spending resolution, but that might not hold up.
Given the amount that oil and gas prices have dropped recently, this is stupid as far as political strategy.
Given the need for an increase in gas taxes, this is stupid policy.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
