Double Standard

Methinks there is a double standard at work in Washington. The Senate just passed a sweeping energy bill, and admittedly it has be reconciled with the House version, but the bill calls for $16 billion in corporate tax breaks over 10 years, double the amount in the House version. President Bush had asked for an energy bill with less than $7 billion in tax breaks. Can someone tell me why there is not a presidential veto being threatened? After all, the transportation bill is being threatened with a veto over the difference of a mere $3 billion. Your comment?
