Fix debt with a 15 cents gas tax addition

One of the pitches out of Congress following the failed "Debt Commission", was increasing the Federal gas tax from 18 cents to 33 cents (nearly doubling it) , an increase of 15 cents per gallon. Add that to the state average gas tax of around 22 cents, that equals 55 cents in just tax, JUST TAX. At the same time the Country is reeling from debt, loss of income, drop of the dollars value and no housing equity, throw in the insane legislative Eco-Nazi push for fuel efficiency and electric vehicles. How exactly is this in any way a long term debt solution for anything? What this is, is a ploy. It is an attack on the consumer on a few fronts; taxation of course for the pure benefit of being able to spend it and by the Eco-Party who isn't content with the gradual movement to fuel efficiency in America, even though more cars now than in history are fuel efficient. If they can get you to accept a 45% increase, then the next time when they ask for 40% it isn't going to seem so bad.

Be very careful of taxes like this, they are taxes on something that is a necessity to today's life. This is as simple as a tax on food, which is always deemed "a no". Keep it in mind America.

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
