John McCain actually said...

"The thing I worry about more than waste, fraud, and abuse is inertia."

"We need to review the inertia as much as we do the waste, fraud, and abuse."

"if Congress is going to pass this massive energy tax, which I view it as, a large unfunded mandate, what's the government's responsibility?"

"If indeed our whole purpose in doing this is to cause people to emit less carbon, let's put a tax on it that is dependable."
