President Barack Obama will propose a $10 a barrel tax on oil to pay for transporation programs, reports said Thursday. The proposed tax would help pay for projects to encourage mass transit, high-speed rail and self-driving cars, Politico reported. The proposal is due to be included in Obama's final budget request next week. The Republican-controlled Congress is likely to harshly criticize Obama's plan, which comes in the midst of an election year.

What a jackwagon.
Bernie’s (and hillary’s) peeps are going to love this proposal.
When will I wake from this damn nightmare?
“Dare to say no.”

Sounds like a plan....
These dipwads never run out of ideas to lighten your wallet.
Yeah, the RINO controlled Congress will criticize it as they send it to Jughead to be signed. I’m wondering why he just doesn’t sign one of his famous executive orders and be done with it.
I thought he and Ryan did a two-year budget deal and he was basically done proposing budgets?
How about a 100% confiscation tax on all elected officials that propose new taxes until we stop deficit spending? HHOS. We could run a hotline for informants so the rats could finger each other....
Obama has a 1000 more crazy ideas yet to come
Will this be done with his magic executive pen? The one he crams up his .....self?
You know that “My work is done here” graphic?
He ain’t done!
Sounds like a lot of spending in and around big cities
with most of the jobs going to unionized workers.

And folks wonder why I’m not a Republican anymore.
don’t worry, the nightmare is reality and what you wished was reality is the nightmare to Obummer. sadly so.
FUBO et al.
Sorry Zer0, any taxation will have to be run through Congress.
One more time, less free trade for those of us within the US.
But the free trade, free markets, gang is hot to trot over how great it is for all of us now that the oil companies can export oil again. . . Yeah Baby !!!!
The usual "free trade for me but not for thee" reality of what all the free market, free trade, elite really mean when they say those things.
The nightmare has just begun. The world is jumping into hell.
