How about you stop making youtube videos and pass the budget bill? If I did this at my job while I had something critical to do, I would be fired.

"I will continue to work with other like-minded legislators..."

Way to drop the ball there Lugar! So, you are not likely to work with people who have ideas that differ from your own? Doesn't sound very democratic to me. Despite this flaw of yours, I am open to listening and debating with you. Of course, I will keep saying "you are wrong" but at least we will be democratic about it.

There is no such thing as clean and responsible way to use such a terribly finite resources, some of which has already peaked or has proven be be disastrous,

Find more domestic oil resources: Fracking anyone? I sure like to drink poisonous tap water.

Improve International Cooperation: You just went out there and said it. America demands cooperation folks! No, you other counties do not have an opinion and if you do not cooperate with our dependency on oil we will WAR ALL OVER YOUR FACE!!
