Blog: Lightbulb bill probably going down to defeat in House

So surprising...we expect the GOP to stand up to Obama and the Debt Ceiling vote when they can't even stand up for a light bulb...???.....please.......

During Monday's debate on the lightbulb bill, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) and other Republicans said federal standards will have the effect of banning incandescent bulbs next year, since they will be unable to meet energy standards that take effect then. Barton said this is a problem because compact fluorescent bulbs and others than can meet the standards are several times more expensive."
