S.1000 – Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2011 or “energy savings plan” is a marvel of Byzantine bureaucracy; 280 pages of more regulations and spending. This bill should be squarely rejected. Hasn’t congress screwed up enough of our economy through their meddling in miniscule matters, which should be left to we the people to decide what they’ll purchase. Do we really need more regulations about hairdriers, dishwashers, home construction, HVAC, etc? Do we need more studies to be conducted by the legions of bureaucrats that make 6 figure salaries in DC while 90 percent of America struggles? Absolutely not. Writer your congress-critter today and tell them to vote no on this industrial strangulation act.
