> Republicans forced the depletion by sale of the US helium stockpile in 1995
This is an odd way of phrasing this. Not just because the bill was passed in 96, not 95; but it was signed by a dem president, passed unanimously in the Senate and via voice vote in the House.
So it’s not so much that “Republicans” forced it as there was a US law passed. There was no contention by political lines and it seemed all political parties supported the law.
The action was no more “forced by Republicans” than the 2013 act that “sort of fixed” [0]. (Also passed unanimously and signed by a dem president)
There’s plenty of politically contentious stuff in the world so that we don’t need to present history in inaccurate terms.
