As for the quote block, I make it a habit to quote initial posts, kind of what host does. Funny you dont question his quote blocking and labeling it "a liberal smear".

If you took the time to read the bills, you would find that your descriptions (from the source you still wont identify, although its clearly from the Repub Conservative Caucus) are incomplete and/or inaccurate.
One example:
Gas Stamp Act (McDermott, D-WA)—H.R. 3712. Creates billions of dollars in gas stamps each year for people to get free gas, to be distributed to those already eligible for food stamps.
Language from the bill:
The Secretary of Energy shall establish a program for the equitable allocation among the States of gas stamps for distribution to individuals eligible to receive food stamps who can demonstrate a need for gasoline. (why didnt the OP description include this caveat) The Secretary, in coordination with the Secretary of Agriculture, shall, to the extent practicable, provide for the distribution of gas stamps under this section in conjunction with the distribution of food stamps. The program established under this section shall provide for the national distribution of not to exceed $330,000,000 in each of the first 3 months after the date of enactment of this Act.
Termination- No tax shall be imposed under this section with respect to any sales after the date on which the Secretary certifies that $990,000,000 has been received under this section.' ($billions?)
Why is it so hard for some Repubs to admit it when they perpetuate their party propaganda? Isnt personal responsibility a Repub value?
