“I was appalled last week by the words of the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asking Senators to vote for a job-killing fuel economy standards bill for cars by asking them to, "speak for the American people, not for the three car companies that are closing plants and laying off people." Well, the last time I looked, the over 1 million people who work directly for the big three are actually American citizens, and millions of others whose jobs are supported by the big three are Americans as well, the last time I looked. Everyone knows that the biggest producer of CO2 emissions is electricity production, and yet I didn't hear the Senate majority leader volunteer to make the blazing neon blazing casinos in his home State of Nevada more energy efficient. How about we regulate their energy consumption? Let's hope that the Democratic leaders in this House understand that millions of American workers and their jobs are worth protecting and don't follow the Senate's lead in their attempt to destroy them.”
