And I'm talking about some Republican senators in Congress.
I see that in the June 11th Chicago Tribune an article "Big Oil escapes windfall tax" by Lori Montgomery and Steven Mufson.
Even as gas prices were going up 2 cents a gallon last Tuesday to a NATIONAL AVERAGE of $4.04 a gallon, Senate Republicans blocked a proposed windfall profit tax along with one to eliminate some of tax breaks these Big Oil companies get.
By a 51-43 vote (9 short of the 60 needed) the debate on the Democrat-sponsored energy measure. Voting was mostly along party lines.
Now we know who is on what side. This definitely does not help McCain's chances in November if the Republicans continue to back Big Oil. We need to do something with these GRBs.
Gas today in Fox Lake was $4.08 (4.07.9). I heard that the price of oil went up and an hour later, one of the stations was at $4.13. Now, that's a FAST increase.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
