Not quite, it is 11.5 cents. Time to run on Olympia. Session starts in January, we need to have our pitchforks and vats of hot tar ready.
Looks to me like that would be something he’d enjoy.
No one need defecate in a Democrat’s mouth;what comes OUT is crap.
Just when the economy is struggling to stay afloat the government throws them a lead life saver.
Pennsylvania passed and signed a law last week that could increase the price of a gallon of gasoline up to 28 cents over the next three year.
I bet the stations on the Ohio side of the border are licking their chops and the ones on the Pa side are looking to sell out.
Blumenauer should ask Obama why the nation's infrastructure never got rebuilt with the $900 billion Stimulus as he promised.
Remember how Obama needed the giant slush fund for his "Shovel Ready" projects? He was gouing to rebuild bridges, highways, airports, the power grid.
But now what does the nation have to show for that $900 billion?
NOTHING !!!
Obama gave it to his pals, used it for wealth redistribution and let people steal it.
Anyone in congress and the senate who voted for the Stimulus should be charged with Treason, along with Obama and Biden.
so one democrat proposes a gas tax hike and the news media says it’s the whole House proposing this
House? One Dim Congresscritter does not a House make.
The traffic heading to Jersey will be heavier. NJ is already $.25-$.30 cents/gal. cheaper in some areas.
I looked up his district. The closest election he’s had since 1996 was a 63/26 win. And this is a district that is 80% white.
The guy is “bulletproof” electorally. I thought only all black urban districts voted like that...you learn something every day.
On top of 28 cent increase in Pennsylvania.
Sounds like someone already has.
Same demographic...new tax.
INSEPARABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, I expected them to want 50 cents/gal increase, and I half expected them to throw on another dollar per pack tax on cigarettes. Maybe a 20cent tax on Cola Drinks.
You asked “how much would be enough”?
A think tank in dc did a study of how much money they could bring in if they taxed everyone at 100%.
Then they projected the revenues out for the next 10 years.
They didn’t comprehend that no one would work after year 1.
These people have some serious mental roadblocks.
