All this does is pass along more cost to the american consumer and give it to the friends of the libs.
I wonder why if some of the biggest spills are by tankers, the oil producers are the ones having to pony up? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_spill

Yeah, let’s not waste a crisis here!

So much for the one making BP pay for it.

No need for an oil tax: BP should have to pay every last penny. Their stupidity caused it!

But, I thought 0bama wouldn’t raise taxes on the middle class by one dime. (I guess he’s right - he’s not raising the taxes on them by ONE dime.)

I thought they had a boot on the throat of BP and were going to make sure BP would pay every dime.
Why do we need a fund to pay for something someone else is paying for?

Yet when asked by the Press why they are not taking over the oil spill clean up the O regime says "The Oil Companies are the only ones that have the equipment to deal with these spills".
So it is yet another massive waste of tax dollars on yet another Federal program that does NOTHING it is suppose to do.

Why do we need a fund to pay for something... Sounds like someone might be hedging their bets on cap-n-tax.

Fantastic idea! The economic recovery is shaky at best, may or may not even be occurring depending on who you talk to. Instability and stupidity in Europe is threatening to trash everyone's economies anew. Jobs are damn-hard to come by, businesses are being extremely cautious...
What do the socialist Democrats come up with? Lets add more taxes! Yeah, great, that'll help the economic recovery. But we need it for the oil spill they claim. No, that is why you don't spend all your money (and then some, no and then a lot more) on stupid socialist fluff programs that advance nothing but your Marxist agenda. Now the Country has no reserves for a rainy (oily) day. This is called poor planning, negligence, and just plain bad leadership: brought to you by the Democratic socialist party and their champion obama.

View of Chicago after the "Great Fire" of 1871.
Imagine if President Grant said, "You can't douse any flames or help the victims until we complete our study of the situation."

The Left love crises. Every crisis is an opportunity to raise taxes, expand government and further the agenda.

What happened to the .08 they’ve been collecting? I hate them.

This is the perfect time to raises taxes. We have full employment, interest rates are reasonable, and the stock market is soaring above 14,000.
We’re rich and ought to be paying our fair share.

This spill will cost the American taxpayers in excess of the 11 billion this tax will raise over the next decade. Count on it.
