"Republicans Chose To Keep Big Oil Subsidies, Costing Americans Billions Of Dollars - " March 2, 2011 House Republicans voted yesterday to protect corporate welfare for big oil companies while cutting to the bone programs average Americans depend on.

The motion was defeated with every Republican voting against it. chattanoogan.com
