It has to be more than 1/2, more like 3/4.
Actually, only those who pay Federal taxes are on the hook for this, not "every American family". Over half of the people now pay ZERO federal taxes. So, every TAXPAYING family is probably on the hook for at least double that figure.
These folks are history. They will riot. gas will go to $5 and they cant go to work. DRILL DAMMIT!!! This nation runs on oil and there is plenty!! Obama will be defeated!! Seize arab oil fields now!!! I love Trump!!
The Kenyan and his commie thugs sure are stickin’ it to whitey.

Thay sure are.
$5 a gallon gas won’t kill the economy, nor will $7, $8, or even $10 a gallon gas, but $20 or $30 a gallon will, and that’s where we’re headed when the dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency.
At $10/gallon gas, you will see people riding scooters and bicylces to work. You will also see people freezing to death in their homes. So, yes, the Economy will tank.
people will riot at $5 and they will be killed by obombus,
And, the cost of everything else will go way way up.

The latter is what bothers me. Freezing to death. This winter will bring about losses that we never imagined. Imagine monthly oil bills over $1000. I wonder if people will pick apart their homes for wood, if they even have a fireplace.
I, for one, will be opening my door to friends and family to stay. Hopefully, all of us together can afford a heating bill for one house.
“U.S. Households Are Just Hanging On”.......thanks to the majority of ignorant, illiterate electorate that bought the “messiah” hook line and sinker. And it wouldn’t be a big surprise if he pulls it off again, as too many jerks in this country expect to sit on the couch and let American tax payers support them.
There HAS to be a heating alternative of some sort. Wish we had a wood burner.

Unfortunately there are lots of areas in the U.S. now where you can’t burn wood - it causes global warming or some such crap don’t you know!
You can tell that Californians are making these stupid global warming laws. It’s WARM where they live most of the time, they don’t have to worry about heat.
Wood burners, fireplaces, pellet burners aren’t illegal here yet. That sort of thing would ruin the tourist industry.
Your kind of new around here posting wise. Do you have a place you call home?
We live in Texas and it certainly is not cold much of the year but at Christmas we like to have a wood burning fire at least for ambience and because it smells wonderful. If it’s too warm for a fire, we just turn the air conditioning on. I am sure this type of behavior would just absolutely drive the libs up the wall.
$5/gallon gas is just a dollar away. Do you really think that rioting will break out at that point?
Are you going to start rioting? Am I? (admittedly, I’m in South Korea on military orders, so that’s not the best example)
But the point remains, that we are just a dollar away from your riot point. I don’t see the Obama’s flock of sheeple rioting over this.
Happy Easter Soldier.
