This Barack Obama is something from out of this world. He can’t help himself, he’s so intent on raising taxes he’ll do anything to have us be like Europe where most of our money feeds big government.
Common sense for most people is when you run out or low on money, you stop spending, but then nobody ever accused Barack Obama of having common sense. In his world, when you run out of money, you squeeze the taxpayers for more. Cut spending? Surely you jest! This guy is so wrapped in socialist ideology he’ll never see reality.
PresidentObama called on Congress Wednesday to pass a transportation funding bill that includes an extension of the federal gas tax, claiming the move would protect about 1 million jobs.
A million jobs you say! Care to be specific? Because I don’t see the logic of your funny thinking, Mr. President. What you are saying is if we don’t raise the gas tax, jobs will be lost. That doesn’t make any sense. Are you talking government jobs? If you are, good! That will save us money, you see government only takes, those people don’t contribute. Once they hit the private sector and pay taxes, then and only then do they contribute their “fair share.”
Before we go any further, I know some dumbass will say, “well government employee’s pay taxes.” Umm, no. Not really. Their wages are paid by tax revenue, that means whatever they “pay” for taxes, is somebody else’s tax money that’s already been collected, they’re just giving a portion of it back to the agency that collects that money. Do you understand what I’m trying to get at? Government only consumes. Nothing else.
Though the president describes the proposal as a transportation bill, its key component is the federal gas tax, which has been 18.4 cents per gallon for nearly two decades. The money is used to fund road construction and repair, as well as other projects — the tax costs Americans an average of $100 a year.
The call for renewal comes as gas prices remain high — the national average for a gallon of regular is about $3.62, a dollar more than a year ago. Some conservatives want to allow states, not the federal government, to raise and spend the gas tax money.
But Obama said America’s infrastructure — everything from bridges to public transit — needs the funding now. He said a 10-day delay would cost $1 billion in lost funding. He said 1 million people could lose their jobs over the course of next year without the renewal. Obama called on Congress to pass the “clean” extension “as soon as they come back” from break next week.
Again, what million jobs specifically? The same as those 6 million “saved and created” stimulus jobs that were never “saved or created?” He’s fear-mongering again.
Run that one piece by me again. “America’s infrastructure — everything from bridges to public transit — needs the funding now.” Why wasn’t infrastructure a priority in 2009? Why now all of a sudden?
Well… maybe if he hadn’t have blown all our money on socialism, things like 2 trillion dollars on ObamaCare socialized medicine, another trillion on a phony stimulus which was nothing but a spending spree, or the hundreds of billions he’s allocated to the choo-choo trains or increasing the Welfare Dept. budget by 900 billion dollars we’d actually have the money to spend on infrastructure. Hmmm… I wonder if he’s even thought about that? Probably not.
You want money for infrastructure Mr. President, then start cutting your big government, and stop expecting us to pay for your irresponsibility. I’m sick of it.
