Since gasoline futures are retreating,will the D e m s now try to increase the fed tax on gas again?

God forbid the American consumer should see any relief.And isn't it amazing,President recinds executive ban on drilling on the outer continental shelf and oil futures drop.Think congress will follow his LEAD and recind the congressional ban?|||That's the democrat/liberal solution to everything. TAX IT! But what do you suppose is going to happen when we are all driving hybrid cars filling up LESS than before like the liberals insist? What do you suppose is going to happen to all that gas tax revenue when millions of Americans fill up once a week instead of 2 or 3 times?





See where I'm going with this?





Because they'll be making LESS on gas tax revenue thanks to hybrid cars and conservation, they will have no choice but to RAISE taxes on gas and the oil companies to make up for the loss. And what's that going to do to the cost? DRIVE IT UP! So in the end you might be driving a 45 mpg hybrid and saving planet earth, but if you think you'll be paying less for gas you're crazy. Compliments of your friendly neighborhood democrats.





(did I mention they are against domestic drilling too?)|||They won't be happy until gas is $6.00/gallon as per Al Gore's wishes.|||no liberals will say





"increase speed to mach 9, alfred the limo driver"





hugs!|||do you just love rooting for the oil companies or do you love blaming things on liberals|||Actually, because the gas tax is per gallon, and demand has been reduced, and factoring in the increased cost of road repair (operation - fuel, etc; and materials - asphalt), there will be a likely shortfall in adequate highway funds.





Now, we already have some 70,000 bridges that are in dire need of repair, along with the maintenance necessary for our roads. Investing in functioning infrastructure is important from both a safety and cost perspective. For example, bad roads cost the US public billions of dollars in unnecessary car repair. Not to mention the costs of fatalities and injuries...|||The Democrats have only cut taxes once,under JFK.


He had to fight them tooth and nail to get a tax cut.





I expect Gas taxes to rise 200% if Obomba gets in.
