I love the title of the bill - "Reversing President Obama's Offshore Moratorium Act" but I wish it didn't set a cap...now on to the Senate, where the DemonRats will enlist their squishy RINO pals to try to derail this effort.  Time to target those RINO's with reprisal action if they block this, if only we had some effective leadership.

Why did they set a cap?

Well, they call it a "goal", I call it a cap because that is how Obamakov will interpret it if it passes, but he won't sign it anyway.  It is more of a policy marker being set by the Repub's to have the PR advantage in a policy that will lower oil prices (and thus gas prices), create jobs and generate new revenue per CBO vs Obammy just wanting to steal more cash from oil companies and not do squat about gas prices as the DemonRats admitted in the other thread.

As always it comes down to how committed to the battle you are.

Battle?  There's no battle.  If there was a battle, we'd be seeing bodies, figuratively.

What we are seeing is, like JF wrote, jockeying for position, that's all.
