 Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given  for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ..... during the Carter Administration? 

Anybody? 

Anything?

No?  

Didn't think so!

 Bottom line ... we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency ... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember.

Ready???????  

It was very simple .. 

and at the time everybody thought it very appropriate...
 

The 'Department of Energy' was instituted on 8-04-1977

TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE

ON FOREIGN OIL.
 

Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????

AND NOW IT'S 2009,   32 YEARS LATER ... AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS

NECESSARY DEPARTMENT

IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR

    IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

AND APPROXIMATELY

100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES

AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY

"WHAT WAS I THINKING?"

Ah, yes, good old bureaucracy...

And NOW - we are going to turn the Banking System, Health Care & the Auto Industry over to government?

Coleman looses the seat; the vulgar comedian wins.

Now the Senate is completely controlled by liberal democrats; go bury your money in the back yard for at least the next year and a half when the sane people can come together and start cleaning the socialist out of our government; regardless of party.

I heard on the car radio that Walmart is backing the Obama health plan and I wondered why. This is what I think; Walmart is the largest retailer and the union is trying its best to take over their work force and the only thing that a union can offer the Walmart workers to entice them to unionize is health care so Walmart who can't offer so many benefits without raising its prices in the retail stores looked at the Obama plan and decided that it could kill to birds with one stone.

Stop the unions because they “would be able to provide health care to their employees” without the union and they will be able to control their competitors by using the U.S. government to force every business to pay for the same expenses so that all prices would be force up.

The losers of course is everybody who shops for anything.

GLENN: We are creating or saving jobs every single day. It is absolutely fantastic. We finally now know exactly how President Obama is going to count the jobs that he is saving or creating. Under the rules released now Monday, the White House told the governors, mayors and contractors to keep it simple. Quote: Just count the people being paid out of the Recovery Act dollars. This is from the deputy director at the White House budget office. Just count the people being paid out of the Recovery Act dollars. Well, that makes sense, right? I mean, it sounds perfectly simple. It's a great sound bite? I mean, just don't think about it for very long. Quick, pass this, quick, it's an emergency! Once you start to think of it, then you start to think of, well, let's say your situation. Let's say you run a company. Well, let's say this radio show is a company. I'm not planning on firing anybody right now. Well, I might fire Stu. But other than that. But let's say I get $100,000 in stimulus funds. This is how they would count the jobs. I would tell them the number of people that I'm paying with that money and since I'm not firing    you know, I'm not planning on firing anybody, the number would be zero, right? I'm paying them anyway but I'm getting $100,000 in stimulus money. This is why they have set it up this way. I'm not firing anybody. The number is zero jobs that have been saved or created but since I wanted the stimulus money, I'm incentivized to not say zero. Otherwise why would I take the stimulus money? In fact, it's best for me to make that number as high as possible to justify my decision. So instead I would say I'm paying two or three people with that money, even if that doesn't cover their salary. I'm paying seven people right now with $100,000 in stimulus money. Really? I'm going to pay them anyway. I'm just pocketing the money that I would have given them otherwise. Then the politician from my district who

H R 2454 RECORDED VOTE 26-Jun-2009

BILL TITLE: American Clean Energy and Security Act

yes ---- AYES 219 ---

Carson (IN)

No ---- NOES 212 ---

Burton (IN) Republican voted No

Ellsworth (IN) Democrat voted No

8 Republicans voted yes and need to be replaced at the next election.

44 Democrats voted No

Because of the close vote in the House, Senators are already nervous about supporting the National Energy Tax. In fact, over the weekend Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri said: "I hope we fix cap and trade so it doesn't unfairly punish businesses and families in coal dependent states like Missouri."

So far I have not heard of anybody in congress that actually read this bill including the White House representatives.

Here’s the list of congressional Republican traitors who bailed out and crossed the aisle to bury your children and grandchildren in unnecessary cost via the so called cap and trade bill passed by the house. Had four of these pseudo Republicans held firm the bill would have lost.

The eight GOP members: Reps. Mary Bono (Calif.), Michael Castle (Del.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Leonard Lance (N.J.), Frank LoBiondo (N.J.), John McHugh (N.Y.), David Reichert (Wash.) and Christopher Smith (N.J.). Forty-four Democrats voted against the bill, making the eight GOP votes all the more crucial. (moeissuesoftheday.blogspot.com)

Mr. Carlin and Mr. Davidson of the EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages.

Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty "decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data."

The EPA official, Al McGartland, said in an e-mail message to a staff researcher on March 17: "The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward... and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision."

The e-mail correspondence raises questions about political interference in what was supposed to be a independent review process inside a federal agency -- and echoes criticisms of the EPA under the Bush administration, which was accused of suppressing a pro-climate change document.

Alan Carlin, the primary author of the 98-page EPA report, told CBSNews.com in a telephone interview on Friday that his boss, McGartland, was being pressured himself. "It was his view that he either lost his job or he got me working on
