That’s part of it too. But the fuel taxes are what sparked all this.

Republican ad: “Tell your representative to stop holding your roads and bridges hostage to climate scare ideology.”

We have to answer these global warming science denying nutcases with three simple words: Grand Solar Minimum. That’s what is effecting the weather these days. And it’s a scientific fact. Look it up. The Grand Solar Minimum. Every Republican should be using this language, and every conservative talk-show host. It should be proclaimed on the mountain tops. There should be a major documentary done about it.

I’m fine with Schumer on this one. Trump’s ‘Infrastructure Plan’ was way too heavy on toll roads, particularly the horrific kind that are privately financed and operated, yet still given monopoly protection from the government.

If I never hear the word “Infrastructure” again out of this administration, maybe I will buy the camper I’ve been thinking about, as it means I won’t have to pay an extra $1.00 per mile to drive it.

The hell with Chuck the Schmuck, if Trump doesn’t get what he wants, he should veto every bill that comes before him. Let the country see a do-nothing House.

Schmucky trying to ‘get down wit duh schtrugga’ for global cooling, glowbull warming, climate change, and challeging God’s design and weather control. The Hopium Withdrawal is strong with this one who believed that simply electing a Marxist in 2008 instantly would have changed the ocean’s levels.

I think Chuckie just put PA, OH and MI firmly into the Trump camp in 2020.

Those ignorant dumb “A$$…” will not give up easily, at least not until they freeze their butts off, and I believe we are not too far away from this time.

Addressing the issue - Climate change is as big a crock as Schumer is.

Like macron and the others, he just wants to be able to tax air and water. If they were able to tax “ugly”, he would be in deep trouble personally.

Can someone with better math skills than I validate this?

The US produces 5.14 billion tons of carbon per year. An acre of forest can absorb 100 metric tons of carbon per year. There are 1.023 million acres of forest in the US.

Shouldn’t that cover our carbon issue?

To: Oldeconomybuyer; All
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, make policy, tax and spend for politically correct global warming purposes.

In fact, previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices had clarified Congress’s limited powers as follows.

So by pushing a constitutionally indefensible excuse to appropriate federal taxes, post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Schumer is trying to unconstitutionally expand the already unconstitutionally big federal government’s powers.

When the shoe is on the other foot, the Dims call what they want to do on the infrastructure issue as partisan “obstruction”, AND they get the media to carry that line 24/7/365 as well. When they do it they consider it “patriotic” and so will the media.

They are of the Left.

It is no different that when Macron laid out his lying distiction between nationalism and patriotism, denigrating the former for the latter.

Why? Because on the Left, where ever it is, if it is part of THEIR agenda it’s “patriotic”.

We won’t let you give us what we want unless you also give us more stuff that we want at the same time.

Perfect example of why it makes no sense to even try dealing with these people. Just ignore them is the best approach. If that means nothing at all gets done, so be it.

I agree with him. ALL Federal building should be torn down and trees planted on those sites that are not too contaminated.

Solynra wasn’t the only “green” company to scam the tax payers.
