It is outrageous that they left in the subsidies of big oil. If they took them out, the bill cwould get vetoed but the Dems could say to the public, "your president cares more about oil and gas than he does about you." Of course a lot of them are beholden to the same interests or have forgotten how to stand up for anything and that is a problem.
