A Republican House victory for inefficient lightbulbs

A Republican House victory for inefficient lightbulbs - Daily Kos

"How much money could American families save? The DOE has estimated it's as much as $6 billion a year. That's just one reason why the White House and Senate Democrats want to keep these standards. Since the amendment was passed as a policy rider on a larger spending bill, however, it has a decent chance of surviving.

So the Republican House of 2011 is officially more conservative and more insane than the Bush administration of 2007, when President Bush signed the bill establishing those standards. Congrats, Republicans! You succeeded in plummeting well below our low expectations of you."

So much for being 'fiscally conservative' you idiots!
