So much for GOPers being fiscal conservatives

Lawmakers Scramble to Ease Gas-Price Pain

Senate Republicans proposed a $100 rebate check for millions of taxpayers Thursday to counter high gasoline costs, but linked the assistance to drilling in an Alaska wildlife refuge, assuring the measure would face stiff opposition from most Democrats.

WTF???

1. They want to give taxpayer funds back to us while Big Oil continues to reap massive profits at the pump AND from the preferential tax cuts given by these same effing Congressional Republicans?

2. The budget deficit is how many trillion dollars? Yet Frist & Co. want to just hand out money like it's toilet paper?

3. Who in the hell is going to foot the bill if Frist & Co are successful?

Forget the ANWAR part. This deal stinks on it's own disgusting lack of merit. If the Dems get sucked into debating ANWAR on this then it'll prove that the Old Guard is still running the show as incompetently as ever before.
