[blueunicorn6]

Let’s’ put a $10 tax on each lawsuit.

[zzwhale]

[skeeter]

Can’t let the folks keep that low gas price ‘windfall’.

[FreedomGuru]

Obama once again trying to fundamentally transform our wallets. I hope I have some change for dinner.

[UCANSEE2]

“The investments could total $300 billion in new spending. ... on corrupt investment schemes to benefit Dem Party Chronies.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Wasn’t “Porkukus” supposed to provide shovel ready jobs and upgrade our infrastructure for the 21st century? Wasn’t Joe Biden put in charge of overseeing that? Whatever happened to that $800 plus Billion of infrastructure investments?????

[UCANSEE2]

” ... clean energy, mass transit, high-speed rail, self-driving cars, light rail, subways, buses,...”

Whatever happened to my FLYING CAR, or SODA POP TAPS on my kitchen sink ?

Over my lifetime, I have been promised many things by the government, and the only one they have come through on is MORE TAXES.

Don’t worry. The Evil Oil Company will pay it and will in NO WAY passed on to consumers.

Obamanomics 101

Of course he does. And people will be too stupid to realize that they have been had when gasoline prices go back up.

VP Joe Biden was recently put in charge of discovering a cure for cancer.
I did not realize he was simultaneously in charge of all shovel-ready jobs, too.

[UCANSEE2]

Whatever happened to that $800 plus Billion of infrastructure investments?????

6- Billion bullets, 12 million guns, Swat vehicles, committees, and travel expenses.

Here's your flying car

[Billthedrill]

Typical. “1. There’s money. 2. We want it.”

US uses about 7 million barrels a year. The old math tells me that’s a 70 billion dollar tax increase each and every year.

.

[2001convSVT]

It would put the US into a Depression every bit as great as the Great Depression, and drag the global economy into a new dark age. This guy knows nothing about economics (or freedom).

[PGR88]

So it would give OPEC, the Russians and Saudis a $10/barrel competitive advantage over domestic production.

Obama is an total ASS.

[Pontiac]

Let’s’ put a $10 tax on each lawsuit.

I would prefer a $10 per month tax on Obama Phones.

A $100 per month tax on section 8 houses.

A $100 per month tax on Medicaid plans.

No one should get welfare benefits for free. Some minimal cost should be exacted to keep the welfare folks anchored in the real world of everything has a price.
