Updating a story we posted earlier today.

Oh don’t worry, this tax will sneak through after the Christmas holiday. But for now, it’s on hold.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is going to delay implementation and revisit a proposed new 15 cent fee on fresh-cut Christmas trees,  sources tell ABC News. The fee, requested by the National Christmas Tree Association in 2009, was first announced in the Federal Registry yesterday and has generated criticism of President Obama from conservative media outlets…

Nonetheless, the criticisms have apparently had an impact as the program is now being delayed.

“USDA is going to delay implementation and revisit this action,” Lehrich said.

Bah, humbug?

It will be Bah, humbug next year as the Obama Regime will have implemented it under cover of the night, after Christmas. I’m willing to bet money on that. Any takers?
