Congress did not do much this week that wasn't more symbolic than real. Rep. John Faso voted with a Republican majority July 19, 229-180 against a theoretical carbon tax. Or said another way, Faso voted to express, "the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy." On July 18, Faso also voted with a Republican majority on another show vote to support, "the officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement." That passed 244-35, with 133 Democrats voting "present."
