They just had senate hearings with all the big oil corporations present. They were given $70 million in subsidies for exploration for new oil fields. They said they have spent on $1.5 million. Generally speaking the oil fields are not trying to build new refineries or explore for new fields. They are not drilling on the available federal lands.

What else do you call it when the Republican leaders in the Senate call for all Republicans voting no as a block of votes twice now? Any random accident that these billionaire corporations are among the heaviest GOP contributors?
