no one should be surprised that Republicans care more about oil companies then they do actual Americans
Senate Republicans Thursday shot down President Obama's plan to cut off oil companies' tax breaks.

Even giving oil companies billions in subsidies hasn't brought down gas prices.
What is the Republican Plan?
Which oil subsidies?
C'mon...Start naming them.
So, you can't name a single one of the alleged subsides, either?
Didn't think so.
Can we eliminate all tax breaks, even the ones Obama likes? If not, why bother picking some and leaving others.
If you're a fiscal conservative like me, than you should have a problem with all welfare, including corporate welfare.
Strategic investments that can help bring something along and into the marketplace is fine with me, but handing tens of billions every year to oil companies just doesn't make sense.
It doesn't solve the entire deficit picture, but it's another piece of a puzzle to help put us back on more solid fiscal ground.

The US gives massive subsidies to the oil companies via providing security, cheap fees for land use, tax breaks, infrastructure and a host of other goodies.

Oh really?
The United States has been using it's military to knock over countries in the middle east and install friendly governments. It isn't doing that because it likes Humus. It's doing that to exploit the natural resources of the region. Namely oil. I'd say that counts as a subsidy.
Additionally the epa documents land use by oil companies. Which generally comes on the cheap..another subsidy.
So along with providing all sorts of goodies..it grants some very profitable companies tax breaks. Some of the breaks have the government owing Oil companies, money.
It's disgusting.

ps ...and put up useless and misleading charts to fool trailer park republicans.
It's a political trick. Barry could have ended oil subsidies at the stroke of a pen when he had a majority in both houses but he didn't want to do it then and he doesn't want to do it now.
