Sen. Jim DeMint discovered Harry Reid's attempt to stop production from Shale oil by slipping the ban into economic stimulus legislation. Tim Phillips at Americans For Prosperity comments:
Michelle Malkin has more on the Reid anti energy attempt. President Bush should tell Reid that the legislation will be vetoed if that restriction stays in the bill. This is just another example of how Democrats have tried to strangle our energy production and made us vulnerable to suppliers who don't like us.“Only in Harry Reid’s Washington could a ban on energy production and the thousands of manufacturing jobs it would create be considered an ‘economic stimulus.’
“Somebody needs to ask Harry Reid how blocking private companies from creating good jobs and lowering the cost of energy for millions of American families will do anything to get our economy back on track. No wonder Congressional approval levels are at historic lows and we find ourselves in this economic situation.
“Every Senator who truly cares about an economic recovery should tell Harry Reid to remove this cynical provision from his so-called ‘economic stimulus’ bill immediately, and if he refuses to do so, they should vote against this bill.”
