Obama to propose $10-a-barrel oil tax (politico.com)

Yes, and coal too, please. This is most of what we need to do.

Why such small thinking? Why not a $100 a barrel tax. Hell, we could pay off the national debt with a $1000 a barrel tax, right?

This could be a well thought out policy designed to combat cheap oil. Which will likely hover at a 30$ level well into 2017. Pushing the adoption of renewables which might lull would be great.

Typical lib -- tax and spend, but oblivious of the impact. This won't effect the rich or middle class, but will severely impact the poor and those just scraping by (many new ones under his watch). Aren't libs the ones who claim they are looking out for the poor? Not so much...
