Yes, speed up recession.
Increasing the cost of oil development in the US. Gets paid two ways; by the customer at the pump, and by shifting new oil development away from US oil fields.
The oil companies will make their money whatever happens. The question is, do you want them to make it in the US, putting Americans to work and paying into US tax bases, or do you want them to focus their investments outside the US, putting some other country's people to work and paying taxes and royalties into their treasury?
The US is bankrupt, so lets push our biggest source of investment and employment out, and lets buy more OPEC oil. Good plan.
Electric vehicles are another energy boondoggle. EV supporters are either blind to the drawbacks or on the take for government subsidies.
Never ascribe to stupidity or naivete that which can be attributed to malice.
Our own government is our worst enemy.
Drive up those gas prices.
And that includes RINO Chuck Mr. Ethanol is Good, Good, Good Grassley.
Yes, speed up recession.
No, it’s called Depression.
It seems every “cut” BHO proposed will be offset by a “investment,” AKA government subsidy to prop up some feel good idea, like the electric car.
By early 2012, Big “O” will have screwed the dog so bad, any Repub will beat him. As sad as it may be, we’re going to have to take 2 years of suffering to have a conservative Congress & Executive.
Gas is already over $3 a gallon, just watch it go over $5 or more if this crap passes. I also don’t want to drive a damn electric car!
Democrats know how to do two things, Raise Taxes and Cut Defense. No surprises here.
I’m calling for a clean White House in 2013
This attack will not stop until this treasonous ba*tard is removed.
Automakers are hardly supporters. They are under the gun of regulations.
Enviro whackos are not blind. They won't buy the stuff.
It's all political and the whackos are on the run. They can't win elections on environmentalism.
The Obammunist and Socialist Party have no budget. They are throwing out headlines.

So much for Obama’s “move to the middle.”
Hmm, well, I have to say clean energy is a great idea! So why aren’t they approving more nuclear power plants?
Also remind the people how Obama likes to kill and eat children.
Or, in everyday speech, Obama calls for oil tax increases.
It’s the squid lobby. A $7,500 rebate to purchasers of an electric vehicle times 1 million electric vehicles sold over the next four years equals $ 7.5 billion of income redistribution from the beer and pizza people to the sushi people.
