This sounds like O’Mally here in Maryland jacking up the fee to cross the Morgantown Bridge because so many Marylanders go there to buy cheaper gas and cigarettes.

Ever since our lefty RINO prez Bush ushered in the Department of Fatherland Security I knew once in the hands of a Democrat administration it would be turned against us.

Needless to say I have little used for Bush or the DHS.

“we’re confident that any study would conclude that the considerable economic damage any fee would do would greatly outweigh any revenue generated.”

In Ubamaworld, economic damage is a good thing if it happens to the US.

We could be the only country on Earth with a cover charge. Next would come the two-drink minimum.

They already charge a fee.....it’s called taxes and we’re not getting much for our money.

Can’t have the serfs traveling so freely; they might smuggle in 100 watt lightbulbs or 5 gallon toilets!
