Stupid International Tariffs. H. R. 4808 To prohibit the importation of motor vehicles of the People’s Republic of China until the tariff rates that China imposes on motor vehicles of the United States are equal to the rates of duty applicable to motor vehicles of the People’s Republic of China under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. I want my Daewoo.

H.R. 4817: To prohibit entities owned or controlled by foreign governments from carrying out operations at seaports in the United States. This is just what I was talking about at work, today.

H.R. 4819 To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit nonparty multicandidate political committees from making contributions in support of campaigns for election for Federal office, and for other purposes. This is the most partisan thing I have ever read to official be introduced as a bill.

S. Con. Res. 82 A concurrent resolution to establish a procedure for the appointment of independent Congressional Ethics Office to investigate ethics violations in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Found under what the hell is really going on in Washington, D.C.
