		<description>Waxman now needs to get newly elected congressperson Dina Titus on that committee. She is extremely well versed in energy issues and could truly educate the rest of the committee.</description>

		<description>When he took control of the committee he is in now after the dems got control two years ago, can anyone tell me one thing that came out of all the investigations he held for show where apparently results have been non existent?  For 2 years he investigated everything and what has come out of it? Nothing!</description>

		<description>This is Great news.! 

Congressman John Dingell, in his role as front man for the big three auto makers, has done more to harm America&#039;s air quaility, and the environment, than almost any other member of the House of Representatives.

For decades,as the FORMER chair of this powerful committee, Dingell&#039;s single handed opposition to reasonable increases in auto fuel efficiency standards has allowed the Big Three auto makers to ignore their gas guzzling product&#039;s contribution to the increase of global warming.  

The false claim that jobs would be eliminated by the production of cleaner and more fuel efficient autos and trucks has now been debunked by the realities of today&#039;s market place.  The opposite is proven true.

Goodbye and good riddance to John Dingell</description>

You obviously don&#039;t understand the economy and should not talk about it.  Nothing is going to stop this recession, no matter who got elected.  The best we can hope for is that Congress pull sits proverbial head out of its butt and works the bailout money in a proper fashion...punishing mercilessly companies like AIG and the Big 3 for traipsing around town spending whimsically...and that Obama (or whoever got elected) is able to set some policies in place that soften the impact it is UNAVOIDABLY going to have on Main Street.</description>

		<description>Trust me Zenter...Exxon has already made record profits WHILE DEMAND WAS FALLING...or were you even awake for the past 8 months?  If nobody sees a fundamental problem with the fact that prices went sky high, demand shrank substantially, yet Exxon still was able to post a record profit margin 2 quarters in a row, then there is NO HELP FOR YOU.  That&#039;s not how it is &quot;supposed&quot; to work.  When demand shrinks, the ideological response is to lower prices.  This is precisely why all this blabber from Chicago School of Economics morons need to wake up and realize the ideological marketplace does not exist.  The trickle-down policies of the past 50 years have set up a fundamental imbalance in the power demand-side and supply-side are capable of exerting over the economy.  This is why there is no economic gravity:  what goes up, don&#039;t come down.</description>

		<description>Prediction:

World economic powerhouse in 4 years:  China
US inflation in 4 years:  14.5%
US unemployment in 4 years:  11%
Gasoline $/gallon in 4 years:  $5.25
Bbl of oil:  $325
Top income tax rate in 4 years:  55%
Adjusted gross annual income to reach top rate:  $125,000 (single)
Percent of Americans without health insurance in 4 years:  48%

That is my prediction of the US after a Pelosi / Reid / Obama administration.</description>

		<description>A step in the right direction.  Dingell has always been to beholden to the auto industry and other big interests.  He repeatedly stood in the way of higher fuel efficiancy  and safety standards.  He has also had a record of backing poorly thought out policies in other areas.   Dingell is alright but, the time has come for the narrow interests of local constituencies and lobbies to end.  Our country needs a plan that is broader than people like Dingell are able to effectively advocate.  Waxman has shown time and again that he is more interested in doing the right thing instead of the politically expediant thing.</description>

		<description>To Demwit and others-

For those that are deluded and think it&#039;s Obama&#039;s fault that the Dow has dropped so far- you could not be more wrong.  It&#039;s so sad when people who are completely ignorant of economics and markets try to seem intelligent by making ridiculous statements

The market is reacting to increasingly bleak economic conditions, (brought to a fine point by the Fed outlook) due to the auto makers&#039; collapse, the continuing credit crunch, the horrible housing market, the possibility of deflation, the worldwide slowdown, the precipitous consumer spending slowdown, etc etc etc.  To blame Obama really is ignorant, and once again tries to deflect blame away from what caused the problem, and how to fix it.</description>

		<description>Well it appears to me that Dingell has presided over the committee on energy through all the energy shortages.  The problems still exist.

Maybe we need someone who actually wants to solve the problems.</description>

		<description>Amir - Newsflash:  Democrats win majority in 2006 election....

The problem in this country is that the people keep electing the same useless, corrupt, selfish liars to Congress.  Did any of you read the story?  These two combined have been in Congress for 87 years.  Neither of these two have been in the real world for more than 30 years!

We need term limits on ALL branches of government.</description>

		<description>Hey Adam. Maybe you think Waxman&#039;s hearings resemble Stalin-style trials because of all the [R] fascists he brought up for public accountability. Of course your attempt to belittle Waxman shows you actually approved of the Bush and [R] culture of corruption, and didn&#039;t want anybody to stop them stealing the country blind. Like most rightwingers, in the end you don&#039;t have a drop of conservative blood in you. At the core people like you are just shrill partisan reactionaries.

By the way, can you think? Congress was at 9% before the election because of the [R]s, not the [D]s — this past election PROVED that. Again, you neo-dimwits should try to evaluate the evidence right in front of your nose instead of looking to FoxNews to hand you your rightwing, dogma driven view of the world.

And finally @ TJ Johnson: You have to be completely loopy to worry about how the [D]s MIGHT screw over the country, while it is an established fact that you [R]s have ALREADY screwed over this country. You are more willing to route for future failure in this country than to hold accountable the party that caused 8 years of established failure? Well, aren&#039;t you a true patriot. You must be one of those &#039;real Americans&#039; that the vacuous Palin spoke of.

		<description>Guys, guys guys, particularly matt. Its because of the lack of environmental standards that GM is getting spanked by Honda and Toyota. They have to catch up if they have a chance of staying a viable and profitable company. I believe we should give them the bridge loan of 25 billion, review their board and separate the wheat from the chaff. I don&#039;t think it would hurt GM to simply try to restructure through bankruptcy, then recieve the bridge loan if they need it afterwards. At any rate they&#039;ll probably have to wait till Obama takes office to settle the matter of a bridge loan. As for gas prices....they are not going to 10 a gallon anytime soon (Texas Lady.) Gas can&#039;t be 10 a gallon soon because the demand is too low since people learned how to conserve from the previous highs on oil. Oil consumtion is likely to decrease as the world market starts creating cars that are less and less oil dependent. As demand decreses, so will the prices. The momentum is on with green energy and thouh the progress to it is slow, it is clearly the wave of the future.</description>

		<description>Well, I guess we&#039;ll all have to get new cars - even if we can&#039;t afford them.  That is, unless you don&#039;t make enough money, then you&#039;ll be given a car and those with a good job and credit will be forced to pay for their own.

I remember scoffing at the thought of $5.00/gal. gas.  Why do I suspect that we&#039;ll all be longing for the days when gas was only $10.00/gal?

And as for all those workers in the oil and gas industry, and the supporting industries - they&#039;ll get to see what it&#039;s like to be unemployed - because if the Dems get what they want (and there&#039;s no reason to believe that the farthest left agendas won&#039;t be pushed), no one will be able to afford to produce or support the oil and gas industry - except OPEC and Chavez.

All Heil the new administration choices.</description>

		<description>Wow, no bailout for the Big 3 and a new Chairman who is going to whoop their butts with emissions standards and requirements that they meet alternative fuel benchmarks...no wonder the Republicans are reeling...Big Oil must be going out of its mind.  Warning:  Expect gas prices to go up very soon so Big Oil can subsidize the future &quot;losses&quot; it is going to suffer as we ween ourselves of their liquid crack.</description>

		<description>Republicans playing the negative games like &quot;this isn&#039;t change&quot; with every single thing Obama has been doing is hypocritical (i.e., it isn&#039;t change to continue the nastiness that earned you your thumping on the 4th) and it is precisely why the republican Party&#039;s favorability rating continued to fall over the past month.  If you think your blabber all over the internet and other public venues does not reflect on your party, think again.  But hey, I say keep it up...I&#039;d love to see the Republican Party basically Jim Jones themselves.</description>

		<description>Waxman a disgrace? stalinist? the reason congress approval rating is so low is because most congressmen are more concerned about their own concerns or those of their parties, rather than those of the people. Its funny how republicans jump on the &quot;communist&quot; as soon as someone decides to do something for the good of the nation rather than themselves.</description>

		<description>Regime change 08, Godzilla knocked off king kong. Waxman rocks.
Dingell is literally married to and in bed GM, there was no way he could push any meaningful environmental legislation.
Great year to be a progressive. Thanks Nancy Pelosi, you must be smiling behind the scenes.</description>

		<description>I am glad to see Dingell lose the chair of this committee.  Dingell was an obstructionist who was protecting Detroit to the detriment of America.

Now that the Democrats have gotten the moxie to blow up the seniority system, can Charlie Rangel be the next committee chair to go?  Hopefully.</description>
