"It's certainly something we should be looking at," Boehner said. "We're in a time when the federal government's short on revenues. They ought to be paying their fair share."
- Last time I checked, Big Oil was paying more than their fair share in tax rates. Maybe you should learn a thing or two before opening your big mouth, Mr. Speaker...

That’s it. I am done with Boner and the Republicans.
The are part of the disease and what destroyed this country.
We need a third party now. Tea Party may need to spin off.

What an Idiot
Oil Companies control 4% of the Oil market.
He can't read what Oil prices are that Oil Countries sell on the open market.

“We need a third party now. Tea Party may need to spin off.”
What we need is to highjack the GOP and primary every last one of these clowns (and then get real leaders in office).

Any money "saved" would just show up at the pump.
So whom saved and for how long?
It's all smoke and bullshit until we drill and refine and beg the fed to invade the refineries and drill sites.
I can't be David Koresh by myself, but if big oil backs and supports me, I'll go man a tower at a drill site or refinery.

Was there a tear rolling down his cheek when he said the oil companies needed to bail out the government? /s/
The stupid party earns it’s name every day.

Boehner is doing a McCain and caving in early and often.
He need to be replaced.

Boehner is unable to say anything with nuance, or else he is showing the color of yellow. He is now co-opted, morally unable to fight against the increasing expansion of government, EPA, and the general bullying going on against capitalism through raising taxes and increasing regulation. I am about done excusing Boehner and hoping he doesn’t really mean what he says the way he says it. But he does.

Hey, Weeping Willie...ever heard of INFLATION? Brought on by the debasement of our dollar?
Boehner’s statement shows that none of the Republican “leadership” have a clue as to the financial abyss we are sliding into. I suspect they are undermining Paul Ryan at every opportunity. We need more Tea Party congresspeople.

$45 billion over 10 years? So we’re talking $4.5 billion per year? That’s what — less than one DAY’s worth of deficit spending?
