Some of them are clearly feel-good junk designed to impress the constituency, I don't deny that. But just to take the first one on the list, though: some sort of subsidized fuel program makes sense to me, especially if it piggybacks on and is largely funded from "windfall taxes" on oil company profits. Your slanted description of the bill didn't mention that part of the proposal, but it's in there. Oh, but... that's *gasp* socialism!

By the way, NCB, since you're so interested in accuracy, why don't you tell us about the crap legislation the Republicans proposed this term? That would give us a nice, accurate, complete picture of congress, wouldn't it? This has been widely heralded as the least effective congress ever--and... who's in charge? Hm.
