President Barack Obama will propose a $10 a barrel tax on oil to pay for transporation programs, reports said Thursday. The proposed tax would help pay for projects to encourage mass transit, high-speed rail and self-driving cars, Politico reported. The proposal is due to be included in Obama's final budget request next week. The Republican-controlled Congress is likely to harshly criticize Obama's plan, which comes in the midst of an election year.

When will this douche bag mental midget be gone?

Proles ain't paying enough for their gasoline.

Maybe 0Muslim could push another direct tax - "Obamaroads".

And have the IRS collect another unconstitutional "Individual Shared Transportation Responsibility Payment" at gunpoint...

We finally get oil down to gas prices that you can afford to get just a little bit of breath, and he wants to screw you out of that little bit. To any and all who voted for this jerk, you can KMA!

Yep...I’m under no illusion that all is dandy. I sometimes wonder how we’ve been able to operate as we are.

And who are the real conservatives that you fought to get into office?

Any elected office.

You have to start somewhere, because standing around bitching and expecting things to change doesn’t work.

Before cable news, there used to be excellent investigative reporters on MSM and local stations on a wide variety of subjects - all important enough to pursue for the citizenry. Sharyl Attkisson is about the only one doing any work of that sort anymore and she gets little notice.

You are right. And you are also right, Sharyl Attkisson is
a fine investigative reporter.

Whooopeeee!

Stimulus II. Another trillion$ or two... What difference does it make?

Meanwhile, the other criminal RINO RICOs, Congress, is still running around desperately looking for their family jewels!

Guess the magic Negro's RICO conspirators must be running out of cash!

I'm all for it, and will enthusiastically support it!

Seriously!

If, and only if, we first get...

...A FULL ACCOUNTING OF STIMULUS 1...

...which presumably was earmarked for the identically same infrastructure
Little did we know he meant the First Wookie's!

Here's a late thought...
As I understand it, "Crazy uncle" Biden was in charge of "explaining" the disbursement of "Stimulus I."

If this marginally sane idiot just "forgot" or not, to my knowlege he never did so.

And then there's his constant race baiting...

If Biden thinks he has a prayer of replacing Cankles as presidential candidate for 2016, he is grossly delusional as well as crazy.

I'm stocking up on popcorn.

If Paul Ryan goes along with this he needs to be replaced.
