The difference between the two parties on the Energy portion of the budget
The Dems had to fight to keep tax credits for renewable energy like solar and wind. Something the Republicans hated.
But what did the GOP want and get, a lift on the 40 year old ban on exporting American oil.
Yes what they fought for and then compromised on the tax credits for (and why would they even oppose that?!) was something for the sole good of the Koch brothers and their friends.
disgusting.
