Boehner and the other GOP faithful won't appreciate it....

Sounds good to me. Let's cut subsidies and cut the red tape. Let them earn their money by producing gasoline for us to use.

I swear, this is more and more like the Reagan revolution. The idealogues kept proposing cutting this and that, and the establishment pols kept slapping the knife away.

Cutting subsidies to anyone, or any group, is not going to be popular with any side you chose in Washington.

Even though it is the right thing to do........

 

[get_involved]

Agribusiness companies, energy companies, financial services companies, etc. give millions of dollars in bribes (campaign contributions) to both parties. It will never happen.

Grover Norquist calls this kind of cut a tax increase, and thus opposes it.

Well if this congress doesn't do it they won't get my vote next time around.....And I don't give a shit what party they claim to belong to.....

No he doesn't.

Or it would have been in his budget. Along with funding the IRS to get some 300 Billion dollars in tax money from cheats.

....Rather than gettin' his ass kicked-around another town-hall meeting????

Yeah....that's probably true!!​
