What are these subsidies they keep talking about. Is it the tax provisions that allow them lower their tax burdons?

Then why not attack GE that didn’t pay a dime last year?

I’m watching Fox News now. They are playing a bit with Chu being quizzed by Congress regarding runaway gas prices. Chu is sitting there, quite spaced out, as if he’s communicating telepathically with space aliens, and telling Congress in a weird, dreamy voice, that he is implementing Obama’s policy of ending the country’s use of fossil fuels. He is quite happy if a gallon of gasoline goes to $7, as this will, necessarily, drive-down the use of gas-powered vehicles. People, he’s insane and working for an insane president. Obama is tripling-down on his green energy fantasy.

Aren’t gas prices high enough under this yokel already? He gives billions in loans to green energy companies that go bust, and now he wants to end fuel subsidies. Can we please just get rid of this douche bag?

Call his bluff. End all the subsidies, but end them for all "alternative" energy companies as well. I don't like government subsidies on principle. And unlike the solar, wind, or whatever alternative energy BS the oil companies can survive without them. So just cut them all off and let the chips fall where they may.

And if the price goes up, well cutting the subsidies was Obama's idea wasn't it?

When is this "guy" going to stop attacking other Americans?

He bows down and grovels to foreigners and blames each of US.

He's attacked:

Catholics

Insurance Cos.

Doctors

Bondholders

Bankers

Coal Miners

Energy Companies

Pharm. Cos.

Small Businesses

The Chamber of Commerce

Wall Street brokers

Futures traders

CEOs

Millionaires

"the Rich"

The State of Arizona

The State of S. Carolina

The Tea Party

The Congress

The Supreme Court

I could go on but I'm seeing a pattern here.

End the subsidies that are passed along to the consumers, in essence you will be adding cost to the producer of gas. Don’t worry tho’, that increased cost is not going to be the cause of a price increase at the pump!

How does anyone ever believe this buffoon?

“eliminate oil and gas company subsidies that he called an outrageous government “giveaway””

Hey, Obama, you dumbass (who has never had a real freaking job and wouldn’t know how to run a lemondade stand) they are not subsidies, you jackass...

They are TAX BREAKS (as in deductions) like everything else in BUSINESS. You don’t ‘GIVE’ them anything.

******

Not like SOLYNDRA where you actually GAVE them our money!

The federal government offers energy producers (including ‘GREEN ENERGY’) and purchasers tax incentives, such as credits, deductions, exemptions and allowances. For example, purchasers of clean-fuel burning vehicles may receive a federal income tax credit.

Take your “ demanded that Congress “ and stuff it up your Magic Negro a$$ to stupid muslim bastard.

I wish the oil companies could shut down ALL production and drilling within the U.S., and DEMAND that Obama step down.

Newt will fix this country wrecking nonsense, but first we must get him nominated and then voted in as president.

Does anyone have any ideas how I, as a private citizen, could get a grant to build my own solar power system?

First of all, this will raise prices.

But if we do cut the subsidies, then cut the special tax rates also. There was a reason such deals were made.

President Barack Obama, turning his political sights on snowy New Hampshire, demanded that Congress eliminate oil and gas company subsidies that he called an outrageous government "giveaway." Though politically a long shot, the White House believes the idea resonates at a time of high gasoline prices.

Wow, what a great economic plan!! At a time when the country is in an Obamao-inspired recession and gas prices are skyrocketing due to zero's anti-gas "green energy" policies, he thinks that this will make him a shoe-in for a second term!!???

Whadda maroon!!!
