Green Taxes

I never mentioned anything about party affiliation in this discussion.

I would love to see Obama triple them! It would be great for his reputation for protecting the little guy who drives a truck for a living. Not.

Right...I forgot that you are a non-partisan man of the people (the little guys) and not one to blame Obama for every ill currently facing the country.

The one proposal floating around is for a 10 cent increase....not tripling the tax.

And it has the support of the trucking industry...that recognizes that bottlenecks, congestion, accidents, etc. resulting from deteriorating roads costs truckers $billions/year.

Sorry, that dog will not hunt. Obama and non-partisan man of the little people cannot be used in the same sentance. Obama is neither.

I guess we can just ask our resident trucker on the Cellar what he thinks about that. To bad the stimulus that was suppose to fix those problems hasn't worked or your guys would not have to come up with another scheme to screw everyone with new taxes.

In fact, it was the Republican-majority National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing that recommended the 10 cent/ gal increase earlier this year (before Obama took office).

Because they, and every interested observer, recognized that motorists are driving less and buying less gas, which means the taxes that are dedicated to the Highway Trust Fund aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road/bridge repair and transit programs.

What? for two and a half weeks, not to include holidays?

And they are as big of dicks as you and your Party are. To bad most of the problems with our roads and bridges are not a Federal issue but a state issue. Which makes your idea sound even more stupid. Tax and spend, tax and spend... How about that stimulus and all those jobs you guys have created. What was the Obama quote?....
