That should help the airline industry. This is being sponsored by Rep. Dingell (Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee). Have fun watching your Dems wreck the economy because they think the government can control the weather.
Ha Ha!! I watched Bush take a SURPLUS and throw it all away. I've watched oil go through the roof, and I've watched the airlines get decimated......all under his highness Georgia boy. Yet CEO's and oil companies are making so much money they don't make banks big enough to store it all, and Bush blames US for this big problem. But then again, we have this really popular war that George got us into, that's cost us over 3800 lives and almost a half trillion dollars with NO END IN SIGHT (the so-called "war" plan that he won the election on is still unkown to everyone, including himself), but hey, I don't mind taking paycuts so guys like him and Cheney can make money in the oil industry, do you? I've also watched his administration whack the contollers salaries and benefits (we paid for that one dearly over the summer too!!! YAHOO!!! ). Yep, the republicans have been wonderful for this industry, haven't they?
