I noticed in today's news that the GOP is putting together an energy package what the news claims as their first big agenda item. It seems to have the trade mark of old school GOP fossil fuel encouragement, like opening up more public lands for oil development and renewing any keystone XL line efforts. Of course it has little chance of passing in the current regime, but I suppose they would like to keep the effort alive as a campaign issue since no one like expensive gas. In my biased view of things, human caused climate change denial, or at the best lip service, is the second big lie of the GOP.

I wonder if voters were offered the choice of SS and Medicare cutbacks, or an across the board tax increase, which the voters would choose?
