I’m sorry - I must have missed the part where I was told to grease up and bend over.

Are the names of the panel’s members known so the general public can start the TAR AND FEATHERING?

Talk about doing the wrong thing at the wrong time!!!

[dynachrome]

Hmmmm. Didn’t know that many economic illiterates could be on a federal panel.

These morons won’t be happy until the price of gasoline hits $10.00 per gallon, half of which will be taxes.

How about letting a free people find their own way to respond to the realities of life?

We have more and better ideas and the problems will be solved just like when water finds it’s own level.

Bastards.

This comes on the heels of the public claiming that the GOP has to go because gas prices are too high and that the bridge collapse was because of a faulty design and not poor maintenance.

In Energy Victory, the author points out that we could have flex fuel (methanol, ethanol, and gasoline) cars rolling off the line in 1 year at $100 more per car. The drivers and the market would then decide which type of oil to provide.

Bush has lead us down the wrong path on oil for 8 years. He never made drilling a national defense priority and let the dems slap him down. He puts the future in hydrogen, when it should be in electric plug-ins including nuclear power.

When the author talked to the WH, Mosbacher told him, "We don't do mandates." Of course, they do, MPG, seat belts, and on and on. But no mandates to free us from sending $200 bill to Saudi Arabia annually, so they can build schools around the world to preach hatred of non-moslem culture.

The cost of flex-fuel vehicles is $1 mill per engine for governmental approval. Times 150 engines. Within 3-4 years we would greatly reduce oil imports as the market makes it feasible for alternative fuels.

This is getting ridiculous.

Why don't they just take my home, my property and my paycheck and move me into a government slum with a few food stamps now and again.

[dragnet2]

A federal panel today recommended a steep increase in motor fuel taxes

Just what the economy needs...Sheesh.

Why not reduce or downsize government by say 300,000 employees? Eliminating all that fat, high salaries and those killer government pensions could save real big bucks.

[Don Corleone]

Throw the Bastards out....all of them!

[dforest]

Doesn’t matter, folks. R’s and D’s are against the people.

It really is no longer R’s and D’s, its the elites against the people.

We need to take it back.

Vote Duncan Hunter, get rid of the people that wish to make us slaves.

[umgud]

These idiots all have drivers or ride mass transit.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Instead of tea we just drop the politicians straight into the harbor. I have no idea what disguises we could wear as the Indian thing from the Boston Tea party would be constantly attacked by the PC crowd. Maybe San Francisco leather guys?

[sergeantdave]

Is this Marxist federal panel composed of fossilized remnants of the FDR administration and the old soviet union?

[Uriah_lost]

Key phrase here “APPOINTED BY CONGRESS”

[NormsRevenge]

Note to:

the 12-member National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission

Purge the urge. Please.

[puppypusher]

These Federal Officials are NUTs.Where do they think that money is going to come from. We don’t all work for the Federal Government.

Just take the money Bob Byrd earmarks every year away from him—that’ll pay for the infrastructure.
