I would add to that it is as archaic as the name suggests. This is a relic of a different era.

This obstinacy by the majority won't stop my efforts to draw attention to these issues, to push for adoption of serious, meaningful reforms to make offshore drilling safer, not just more prevalent.

We have not enacted a single legislative reform out of this Committee to improve the safety of offshore drilling.

The issue is not what is the multiplier in this sector of employment in colleges. It is, rather, the issue is how are we going to get affordable, excellent health care for all Americans.
