Remember when the Chamber used to be this benign organization that promoted fair trade, economics, and places to visit?
To: ObamahatesPACoal
The CT Chamber supported the state income tax 25 years ago. The Rockford Illinois Chamber supported raising the property tax for the schools.
Hey guys, what happened to 800 BILLION dollar stimulus infrastructure fund Obama used back in 2009? Even IF we needed to build up the infrastructure, this is the WRONG guy to hand the checkbook to.
Oh, and we’re broke.

Look at the bright side...expensive gas keeps poor people off the roads and reduces congestion.
The progressives want everybody on public transportation for control purposes.
That’s why the fed gov doesn’t issue “gas stamps” to poor people.

This POS Donahue is also the guy who is also crazed about Amnesty and pushes it all the time with the RINO garbage.

Anybody done a background check on Donahue? I'd be interested to see what his background really is, since it certainly has nothing to do free markets and capitalism.

Thanks to the CofC most Americans can’t afford the price of gas as it is now -— and they want to raise it even higher?

My understanding is that a more than adequate tax is already there......it just gets”appropriated” by politicians to pay for everything but roads and bridges.
Very similar to fishing and hunting license fees that provide the politicos with walk around money and is never used for its stated purpose.

That would be correct.
Michigan is supposed to get some $250 million in infrastructure funds but Obama refuses to release it without a promise that $100 million goes to union pension funds. Its not exactly the same pot of money but its how the game works.

Here is a thought. All that infrastructure has already been paid for. The money was looted by congresscriminals. Let them pay for the roads.

I just sold a friend’s car for him. I put $55 worth of gas into it and it only filled the tank 3/4 of the way. It was an Infinity J-35. Imagine commuting every day.
I own a really nice 2003 Marauder. I haven’t driven it in a year as it costs 12-15 dollars to take it into town and back. I drive a too-tiny Jetta TDI that is uncomfortably small but gets 40mpg which costs me only .12/mile vs .20/mile.
That makes it hard to live in the cheap places which are typically far from town. I live on 6 acres in the woods. It was cheap transportation that made this country and expensive gas that will make us all live in tiny apartments where we can easily be managed and controlled. That’s the agenda here.

One day it the gas prices will be so high, that it won’t be cost affective to drive to work everyday.

The US Chamber of Commerce has gone the way of AARP, ABA, and the AMA.
