This is what you get when your elected officials don't have to spend the bulk of their day on the phone begging well to do people for money. They can spend the time prepping for hearings like this to properly represent the people at large. Furthermore they are not influenced by donations given by people in the business.

Yes. End the oil depletion allowance. For those who believe in free enterprise and market forces, the market value of an oil lease can only be determined by raising the price until at least some oil claims don't receive a minimum bid. If we have no unsold oil spots in any given year, that means we can't say that we are using market forces that year. It has been since the 1800s since oil leases were not all bought when offered, I believe. Maybe it's time to trust the market, or else maybe it's time for our country to value our resources even more than the market. Oil that stays in the ground is like savings in the bank, in that it does not somehow "go bad" there. In fact, it is a better national savings plan than money in the bank. Rep. Porter gets it.
