I DON'T GET THIS

The Baggers and the Gasbags have been whining about the new light bulb regulations for months or longer and the House GOP could easily pass a bill that repeals them BUT THEY DIDN'T.

Lightbulb bill likely headed for defeat in House

The Better Use of Light Bulbs Act, H.R. 2417 would end federal bulb standards passed in 2007 that Republicans have since held up as a prime example of federal overreach. House Republicans brought up the bill under a suspension of the rules, which requires two-thirds of voting members to support it.

That means even though a majority might support it, it is unlikely to be approved Tuesday in light of Democratic opposition.
