Transportation costs have a direct downstream impact on everything, from the money that comes out of your wallet at the pump to the cost of goods and services. So, as the Left plays word games to support a new regional Transportation Initiative, understand that it isn’t just a gas tax.
Democrats used to whine about sending energy dollars to our enemies. Russia, Venezuela, even the Saudis on some level along with other Middle Eastern Emirates. But you can’t drill your way out, they said. We did. We fracked our way out and what do Democrat’s want? To ban Fracking.
Looking for the perfect gift to give your Democrat legislator this holiday season? A gas tax increase makes a great gift that keeps on giving. But how about two of them?
California’s energy and environmental policy have collided. PG&E has to turn off the power when its windy to prevent forest fires (sometimes). Down in Texas, when the wind isn’t whipping (like in the song from Oklahoma) Green energy policy caused a 40,000% hike in electric rates.
Democrats love taxes. What they love more are taxes (or tax increases) upon which they don’t have to vote. The Regional Green House Gas Initiative is just such a scam. But it’s not the only game in town.
One of the great things about being around for so long is that we’ve got a massive archive. Years of reporting and links about Democrat behavior. Like how the moment gas prices inch up they yell at Republicans and claim they are shills enriching big oil.
It’s become clear that the White House Ukraine leaker (a CIA plant) was used to create a second collusion narrative. The purpose, like the original, is to pin left-Wing malfeasance to Donald Trump and hope the truth gets lost in the noise.
The initial reaction to the Iranian backed strike against their Saudi enemies energy infrastructure was a 20% spike in oil. That lasted a day. Prices quickly dropped and a week later oil prices remain stable.
Last summer the price of oil did something it does around Memorial Day. It spiked. Democrats declared doom for the economy, and it was President Trump’s fault.
Venezuela is a major oil producing nation and unless you missed it that country is a mess. Iran is dealing with “crushing sanctions™” that will expand to other nations who continue to buy their oil as of today. OPEC cut production quotas in January. Why is gas in the US still so cheap?
California has the highest gasoline prices in the nation. Higher than Hawaii. And Governor Gavin Newsom wants an investigation into why? Let me help. High Taxes. Excessive Regulations. Dwindling Infrastructure. Put another way; Democrat Policy is to blame.
The economy is booming here in NH – unemployment is low, wages are rising, and companies are expanding and local towns and cities are opening their doors (er, mostly) for new companies to set up camp. Also, this State is known for this kind of industry – good work at good wages. The kind of … Read more
Right before Memorial Day weekend, 2018, the desperate Left was blaming Mr. Trump for rising gas prices. This “hidden tax” was depriving the peasants of that meaningless tax cut Republicans had passed. Denying these families their crumbs. Trump should be impeached.
What should we expect if the Democrat “Blue wave” happens? Democrats will impeach President Trump to overturn the 2016 election. Despite years of intense investigations discovering no Trump wrongdoing, Democrats now convict based on only accusations and hatred. Democrats who lied about Obamacare now promise utopia in “Medicare for all” (aka single payer). This is … Read more
On March 20th, 2014 I produced (what I thought was) a useful visual aid. It demonstrated the truth about Democrat “feelings” and “concern” for the impact of average US retail gas prices on “Working Americans” and or “American Families.” They don’t care. It showed how, when George Bush was President, it was a huge issue. Democrats … Read more
Remember. Just about every Democrats swore we could never drill our way out. They, their green backers, and the Obama Administration have done nothing but get in the way of domestic energy production they could not control. Thankfully, more than a few folks ignored them. And now the Saudi’s have opened the stops on oil … Read more
The NH Department of Transportation Czar, Christopher Clement Sr., took some time (and taxpayer money) out of his otherwise busy day, to give us his thoughts on the 4.2 cent gas tax increase. It is titled, Fueling the Gas Tax Discussion. Minister Clement advises us to be wary of political ads bearing false witness–that is … Read more
Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire has released its latest video holding NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen Accountable. Not mentioned: Shaheen also took money from the Petroleum Marketers Association of America. She has also taken money from the PAC’s of fellow Democrats who are funded by Koch brothers, and is more than happy to have a … Read more
We know Democrats don’t really care about jobs or the economy, or expanding oil and natural gas projects would be at the top of the list. These energy development projects would be self-funded (no taxpayer boondoggles), and would require the oil and gas companies to invest their own cash on materials, employees, wages, and benefits, … Read more
Here’s a feather for your cap, Democrat Party. Party of the middle-class. The compassionate party of Hard Working American Families™. You guys, having had a majority control of congress for almost five years now, two of them with total control, are the first President and party in US History to preside over gas prices in … Read more
