    lol what a penis.

    Doesn't he realize that it'll go up in the future and then the tax will be outrageous and they'll need to repeal it. Doesn't matter - it'll never get approved. His rep as a legislator is in the toilet otherwise Biden would be running.

      Yeah, our economy is just roaring along. Let's just kill it with a tax. Idiot.

        this will be a good year to get your driveway paved. Fuel prices down and the asphalt prices are down and it's an election year. Blacktop companies are going to struggle. You need to get good competitive bids by some quality companies and you might make out real well. If you have some cash and been thinking of doing it, check it out.
        We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

            blacktop companies always struggle a bit in election years. Some companies will take on work just so they don't lose people.

              This statement is rhetorical red meat for his base. Not more not less. He can't do this. There are about 4 percent of congress that don't take money from big oil. They would never allow this.

              My issue is statement like this are so hyperbolic and can't be fine but the effect is a kick in the teeth to a vital industry that is reeling already.
              You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

                  Well, this topic does not belong in a football forum, but I'll bite since I am retired and have nothing better to do.

                  This tax may seem oppressive since the average American will end up paying this tax, but if you take a long view it will help the U.S. in several ways:

                  1. It will ween us away from fossil fuels which will help the environment and enable us to become independent of foreign oil producers.

                  2. It will enable us to rebuild our aging transportation infrastructure, which will help everyone (particularly asphalt/concrete/steel manufacturers and road/bridge builders) by stimulating the economy and improving travel.

                  The pinch at the pump will not be too harsh because we are now paying less than $35.00 for a barrel of oil, whereas not too long ago we were paying upwards of $100.00. Most economists don't see oil returning to the $100.00 level anytime soon.

                    they spend money the year before to get elected, they don't want to spend money as soon as they get elected. I don't get it , but it's how it seems to go. The state and federal gov't don't put out the jobs for bid as much in an election year.

                        You know what Stock, America would probably go along with it, at least in increments if that's what would happen. Instead, they'd find another excuse to raid the fund just like they have done with Social Security. I don't trust them and almost nobody else does either. It would just end up as another tax.

                        And I know this thread is probably against the "rules". So what? We aught to change them. It's not like we do this everyday. It's the off season and we're all friends here and talk daily. What's the problem? We're all just speculating and shooting the shit. MM, send me some new babes if that thread is allowed LOL!

                            If there is no money, then roads, bridges, overpasses, etc. don't get fixed or rebuilt. If you allow private industry to build your roads, you will still pay for them with the additional burden of a profit paid to shareholders or private owners. There is no escaping the obligation to pay for things all of us use.

                              Understood. People just don't trust government.
