The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

you'll probably side with the Koch brothewrs on this. As I indicated, I side with TBP and think it is ok for government to front the money knowing that a payback is written into the bill.

I don't know what the Koch Bros position is wrt NG legislation; however, since they own at least one pipeline company, i suspect they would benefit from any legislation which would benefit the NG industry. If they are against the bill maybe it's because they're folks with good principles.

It's remarkable to me that some liberal folk spout off about subsidies to oil and gas companies but then turn around and push legislation like that being pushed by t-bone. And how many times do you need to hear "the legislation is paid for" before you get past the "fool me once" stage?
