Fifty percent of college grads cant find work. The dems solution is lower their interest rate and raise the taxes on the kids future employers. Brilliant plan dems.

The reps want to take it from Obamacare instead since its not implemented anyway and that's a war on women.

Doesn't this make the dem plan a war on women's children?

Get back to me when you can explain the OA's inaction after GE got a refund on their taxes. Oh I forgot, GE's CEO is a member of the OA. GE good, oil bad that's real free market.

....I thought you were all about letting the market determine prices?

Oh wait. Except when it's the oil and gas industry - then we got to subsidize.

But don't subsidize healthcare

This latest outrage is for a talking point on the campaign trail, "Obama vetoed the student loan bill..."
Yeah right, Bohner and all the rest of these dirt wads sleep just fine because they don't own a conscience.
Can't let the little frail just pushing their tiny heads out of the clay oil companies miss their routine feeding. They might get mad and finagle prices higher like they do every year.

The usual histrionic response to the slightest challenge. Why do you favor impairing the already feeble Obama economy with higher gas prices and saddling small businesses with higher taxes?

Once again government meddling creates a problem, choking off expansion of domestic oil supplies then offers a solution expanded government power along with higher prices.

Please explain how stopping Obama from raising taxes to finance his latest vote buying scheme diverts the hundreds of billions spent subsidizing Medicaid / Medicare.

So if Socialism is so great...why does it have to be mandated and forced on people?

Americans are free to pursue preventive healthcare, either with or without the aid of ObamaCare and its funding. My wife and I have been doing so for decades.

Your argument would appear to be steeped in the (highly questionable) view that healthcare is (or, at least, should be) a fundamental right. More specifically, a government entitlement.

And I disagree with that premise. Thoroughly.

It is an interesting dichotomy.

But it implies a fallacious conclusion.

If oil companies are forced to pay more in taxes (however "fair" some may wish to portray it as being), they will not simply accept diminished profits as a fait accompli. Rather, they will begin charging their distributors higher gasoline prices; who, of course, will be forced to pass along those higher prices to consumers.

So it is unrealistic to pretend that we can simply raise taxes on Big Oil, and (magically!) be immune from correspondingly higher prices at the pump...
