House Approves Stiff Penalties For Gas Price Gouging --Maggot Face 'urged' to veto 23 May 2007 The House, eager to do something about record high gasoline prices in advance of the Memorial Day weekend, approved stiff penalties Wednesday for those found guilty of gasoline price gouging. The bill, approved by a vote 284-141, directs the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department to go after oil companies, traders or retail operators if they take "unfair advantage" or charge "unconscionably excessive" prices for gasoline and other fuels. The White House said President (sic) Bush would be urged to veto the legislation should it pass Congress.

1. Bush truly is a moron

if my math is correct the votes cast for in the House exceed 2/3 of the total. What does Bush gain by taking a chance that his veto will be overriden?
