I am arriving at the conclusion that Saxby Chambliss is pretty much of a business first right and wrong second type of Senator. A sneaky man more interested in being a power player than representing what is best for citizens. Ethanol subsidies are good for farmers while inefficiently reducing petroleum usage. There is some evidence that the unrest in northern Africa is due to excessive food price inflation, that is a result of increased demand for a food products, created by our government. Personally I do not care for ethanol additives, all of the two cycle engines in may garage are f - - ked up because of the deposits the develop.
- Panetta will be confirmed, slam dunk, Congress likes him. He has the personality of an ineffectual boob.
- Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 - S.679, a bill to reduce the number of executive branch appointments that require Senate confirmation ??? Has the President already addressed that issue with multitude of Czar appointments and recess appointments. Sorry I want the President to have less power, not more. Bad idea.
