The “Big Oil” companies again face Congress to prevent the removal of billions of dollars in subsidies it receives from the government. The House has passed legislation that would remove the subsidies, but the Senate, once again, has not. Why? Because they want money out of the oil companies to fund their present and future re-election campaigns. We will get a lot of posturing from the Senate, but this will only be for show, yet again. In the end the oil companies will keep their subsides, and the Senators will get their campaign contributions. A beautiful relationship made in Hell.
