Big oil needs help

Despite record profits and renewed calls for a balanced budget in the face of Katrina and Rita, Congressional Republicans are actually talking about more tax breaks for the oil industry:

Republican leaders in Congress announced plans to introduce new legislation or amend existing measures to bestow more tax breaks on the industry and provide other incentives left out of the big energy bill Bush signed into law in August.

Remember that Exxon made $110 million dollars a day last quarter. And now Congressional Republicans want to give the industry even more tax breaks on top of ones in the latest energy bill.

Sound like a good use of tax dollars to you?
