6 for 6 ain't bad

Excellent. The new Democratic congress made good on their 100 hour promise Wednesday (see my previous post on the 100 hour promise here), enacting a final piece of legislation that imposes billions in fees, taxes and royalties on oil and gas companies and uses the money to promote renewable fuels. The bill, H.R. 6, can be found here. Hope springs anew, Bush's veto notwithstanding. The previous five bills are as follows:

• Make the government negotiate for lower Medicare prescription drug prices. It passed last Friday.
• Expand federally funded stem cell research. It passed Jan. 11.
• Raise the federal minimum wage. It passed Jan. 10.
• Seek to bolster terrorism-fighting efforts. It passed Jan. 9.
• Change rules governing ethics, lobbying and the budget. These changes were passed on Jan. 4-5.

UPDATE
I meant the House of Representatives. The Senate killed the minimum wage bill on Tuesday, Jan 23.
