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.

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.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.

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."Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." - Joe Theismann

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!"Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

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."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"
