Strictly speaking the Democrats only have a majority in the house (53%) In the Senate the Democrats have 49 and the Republicans have 49 with two independents Senators Sanders and Lieberman.

The federal government makes more in taxes on gas (in all stages of production and distribution) than the oil companies make in profits. I say get rid of the taxes and let the market do the rest. At least then high gas prices will be our own fault.

In the telecom industry most companies didn't give a hoot what you did with cable scrap as long as you didn't leave it cluttering up the customer site. Unless a piece was long enough to use for a drop it was pretty much considered trash to everyone except the technician smart enough to toss it in the back of his van instead of the dumpster. Even then it was worth little more than beer and pizza money for the cabling crew.
That all changed a couple years ago when the cost of copper went through the roof and now a pickup truck load of scrap communications cable will net about a thousand bucks if not more.
