Domestic Prosperity & Global Freedom - ✓

It seems Rep. Cory Gardner (R., CO) has checked all the right boxes in the title of his measure, the Domestic Prosperity and Global Freedom Act, which is primarily in regard to exporting America's abundance of natural gas. The House has even begun debate on the measure and it will likely be passed tomorrow. Rep Gardner surely has high hopes for the legislation in regard to domestic prosperity. He notes "[t]his bipartisan, commonsense legislation will increase liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to allies around the world as well as create 45,000 jobs in the United States over the next four years." 

As for the "global freedom" portion of his title...well, that may be a bit trickier.
