I cannot believe that any member of congress would vote on a bill that he or she has not read. This is exactly what happened in the case of Cap and Trade.

There is a part of this bill called REEP. Basically, this standing for retrofit for the environment and energy. Why is this importaant? It will apply to all houses sold. The seller will have responsibility to be in compliance with REEP.

This means:
1. If you do not have a reflecting roof to reflect the sun's rays, you may be required to replace your roof.
2. A group of specialist will be responsible for performing the test such as heat losses as measured with an infrared sensor; air quality; pressure control to detect window quality; and on and on.

If our congress will vote on a bill that they have not read nor is not supported by their constituents, we are in for a mess. I'm still not convinced that we're not being led by Chavez's cousin and our congress is similar to that in Venezuela.

The latest thing is Venezuela is that all oil workers have to pledge that they are socialist in order to keep their job. Are there similarities in this country?
