:::wobbity-wobbity:::
I was going to hold off on the accusations of this being a shameless pro-Hillary rant. After all, the apples to orange comparisons, straw-man arguments and magical thinking-oh! I'm sorry-"optimism" may seem a true revelation to the author who fails to closely examine his own case.
Then I get to that petulant, baiting little line at the end. Where is Obama's optimism? hee hee snark snark
In cases like this, where there is data than can be analyzed and hard and fast political realities to consider, the "optimism" that you are describing is delusional. Your passage of initiatives which have already been well debunked here, would never happen anyway.
Go ahead and send Hillary's plan complete with winfdfall profit tax to The Idiot Child-Emperor's desk. Here is a direct quote from his veto press conference:
Today I vetoed a bill sent to me by congress which proposes to provide nominal relief to our people at the expense of companies which are already suffering from the high costs of foreign oil. While I support the Gas Tax Holiday proposed by Senator McCain, I can in good concious support a bill which put undue burden on our ability to produce oil domestically.
I need congress to reconvene and send me a good bill. One which allows Americans to save at the gas pump, without jeopardizing one of our economy's most vibrant sectors. I need congress to protect us against the cost of foreign oil. And so I propose that we replace the so-called Windfall Profit Tax with legislation which will allow drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve....
The temporary tax suspension will not be passed in any responible form. Even if it were, the savings would be little more than the throwing of loaves during the Roman gladiator spectacles. Crumbs to the masses while the empire burns.
