Raiding the People's Money : How the House Energy Bill (H.R. 4) Subsidizes Energy Industries

On the campaign trail, Pres. Bush repeatedly said that tax dollars are your moneyÓ or the people's moneyÓ -- not the gov't's. But once in Wash. Pres. Bush & the Congress too often have used the people's moneyÓ to fund tax breaks & subsidies for special interests. This report examines H.R. 4, the energy bill passed by the House of Rep. on Aug. 2, 2001. Amer. needs an energy policy to improve our energy security, protect the environ., & help Amer. consumers & taxpayers, but H.R. 4 does the opposite. The energy policy in H.R. 4 would increase our dependence on oil despite the nat. security risk, damage the environ., & subsidize major energy industries at the expense of Amer. consumers.Waxman, Henry A. is the author of 'Raiding the People's Money : How the House Energy Bill (H.R. 4) Subsidizes Energy Industries', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756723484 and ISBN 0756723485.
