Obama Calls for an End to $4 Billion Oil Industry Subsidies
Obama has proposed that Congress should kill tax breaks for the oil and gas industry … again. He failed to end the subsidies when the Democrats controlled congress, so it is unlikely he will have any more success persuading Republicans, who fear that the loss of the tax breaks will lead to even higher fuel prices.
Native Washingtonian and progressive liberal democrat (and active voter). Retired when "W" took over the white house, I knew the "Clinton-like" years were over. Sadden by the current state of the country's political discourse due to the election of the first non-white president. In my life time I have never witness a US POTUS so hated by 40% of US citizens.
