Obama: “I want a $10/barrel oil fe…” Congress (interrupting): “No.”

Seriously, why did CNBC even bother reporting this, let alone make it a ‘BREAKING’ story? “President Barack Obama will propose a $10 per barrel charge on oil to fund clean transportation projects as part of his final budget request next week, the White House said Thursday.”  I’m sure that Obama would like a pony, too.  Heck, THAT Congress might give him. Shoot, I’d sign off on giving the President a whole horse show if he’d just play with it until his term is up and left policy to people who understand the basic concept…

  1. This is such an important concept. I think every single person who interviews Hillary and The Bernster over the next few months should see what they think about it. In Detail.

    1. For that, we’d need a fully functional fourth estate, not the boot-polishing lickspittle quislings currently pretending they’re doing their jobs.

      1. Sorry, hit submit too soon. I left out juice-box-mafia, emotionally stunted, incurious, and a few others that will break Moe’s profanity/obscenity rules.

  2. Because the one thing every member of Congress wants to do is go home and explain why they raised the gas tax during an election year.

  3. “Shoot, I’d sign off on giving the President a whole horse show if he’d just play with it until his term is up and left policy to people who understand the basic concept…”
