I'm so glad Bush is looking out for America.
He must have felt guilty about the money Ashcroft spent covering Lady Liberity's breasts.
[quote]How Erecting a Hooters in Shreveport Ensures Our Energy Security
Any doubts about who owns the government, who the government is operated for and how the government is operated ought to be cleared up by «this little report in the Denver Post»:
'The congressional energy bill that has emerged from conference committee is severely disappointing and should be voted down or filibustered in the Senate. ... Some $180 million will pay for a development in Shreveport, La. That project will use federal tax money to subsidize that city's first-ever Hooters restaurant. What a new Hooters has to do with America's energy situation may be best known to U.S. Rep. Bill Tauzin, a Louisiana congressman and key player in the secret conference committee talks. ... Some $120 million in federal money will build an indoor rain-forest entertainment center in Iowa. ... In Colorado, money from the energy bill will help pay to redevelop a mothballed shopping mall in Lakewood. ... The bill shifts the costs of environmental cleanups from the makers of MTBE fuel additives onto taxpayers. Meanwhile, an oilfield technique called hydraulic fracturing will be exempt from a key environmental law. The legislation also will make it harder to regulate wastewater runoff from construction sites. ... The bill also effectively reduces royalties that oil and gas companies pay the government.'
This is the result of **** Cheney's secret energy task force. And why the people of the United States should never stand for secrecy in government.
But I have a question ... $180 million for a Hooters development? Those ta-ta's must gonna be gold-plated.
Anyhoo. It's all beyond disgusting. And we're supposed to be proud to be Americans with this kind of representation in Washington?
