Re:Bad. (Score 1)

How is this bad? This reckoning was gonna come sooner or later. The way Americans in particular just suckle on the gas pump not knowing how much they use except for $40 to $50 here or there to fill a tank must end. We must be made responsible for the amount of fossil fuels we use. The people who pay for these taxes and must cover them will try to push for more mass transit then. Also the fact this is also attacked the the bill for putting in more off shore drilling as well as the repeal of the 40 billion in gas subsidies we give will make republican oil stooge politicians think three times before they even try to push for the ability to do off shore drilling. This is puts the ball in their court. Do they really want to have off shore drilling if this is what it will bring their corporate overlords? No. So no offshore drilling. This is the Democrats taking a page for the Neo-Conservative playbook on dirty politics and finally give the GOP a taste of their own medicine in politics. The same thing happened with the health care bill wear in order to get it passed they had to allow tons of riders from the GOP in on it. So this is there way of doing it right back in my point of view.
