That would be interesting. I'd like to see them try and re-enact it after the 60 days were up.
There is trillion barrels of oil in Shale in the Western U.S. With oil at` seventy dollars a barrel the recovery is easily doable. As those billions and billions of barrels of oil come from the shale, even moderate taxes on the gas will net huge amounts ... and the key is for the democraps to stop killing refinery building because the U.S. will become a major exporter of oil in the next ten years and with better refinery capacity here we won't be importing Saudi refined fuels or strapped to the maniacs in the Middle East for our energy supplies. BTW, I agree it will be hard to put the taxes back but some will be necessary for federal funding. And it goes without saying that new spending programs have got to be stopped at the pork barrels from both parties.
