Multiple reports are stating that our incompetent President is backing a 25 cent gas tax hike:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...t-hike-in-the-gas-tax/?utm_term=.c2a777c94bce (don't like Wapo--mainly because Fox tells you not to--then go find another source there are lots of them)
Can the blind cultists see the bigger picture?? Unlikely....
In December, Dear Leader and fiscally deaf Republican leadership pass a massive tax cut bill aimed directly at the top 1-10%. It also is projected to blow a $1.5T hole in the budget.
Jan - Feb: All the cultists and ignorati get all excited because a few large corporation extend one time $1000 bonuses to their employees.
Early Feb: Fiscally deaf Republicans in concert with fiscally deaf Democrats pass and our incompetent President signs a budget deal that adds another $300-500 billion to budget deficit over the next two years.
Mid Feb: Incompetent President backs a 25 cent per gallon gas tax increase which, if passed and enacted, would erase $200+ of that one time $1000 bonus. Of course the 147-148 million American workers who are not getting bonuses will be worse off immediately AND the 2-3 million American workers who ONLY got a ONE TIME bonus will be worse off next year. But average workers and average families are not and never have been the focus of this administration. While the average Joe and the small business that relies of vehicles to run its business will get killed, a 25 cent gas tax means nothing to the top 1%...their income tax cut was MUCH larger than the average Joe's.
Now...how would a sane leader approached all of this:
1. No tax cuts...or minor tax cuts spread out over a number of years.
2. The budget deal would not have included large spending increases on anything.
3. Infrastructure should have been the first thing done in early 2017 (you know instead of the Muslim ban)...and we should be working on entitlement reform (which is an ACTUAL problem instead of the made for Fox TV immigration problem.)
4. Raising the gas tax to generate funds for infrastructure does make sense...but it should be spread out over a number of years to lessen the impact on the average family.
As noted before, this in not rocket science--well entitlement reform is going to take some really smart people to solve but the general concepts and priorities really aren't that difficult to understand, unless your sources of information are nothing more than propaganda outlets.
