Congressional negotiators struck a deal Thursday that overturns the
new rules that were to have banned sales of traditional incandescent
light bulbs beginning next year.
That agreement is tucked inside
the massive 1,200-page spending bill that funds the government through
the rest of this fiscal year, and which both houses of Congress will vote on Friday. Mr. Obama is expected to sign the bill, which heads off a looming government shutdown.
Congressional
Republicans dropped almost all of the policy restrictions they tried to
attach to the bill, but won inclusion of the light bulb provision,
which prevents the Obama administration from carrying through a 2007 law
that would have set energy efficiency standards that effectively made
the traditional light bulb obsolete. More here:
How about that ... the conservatives had to fight the "Democratics" for your freedom ... again ... only this time, they won. I have a feeling people have had about enough of the job-killing morons in the EPA and elsewhere in the government.
