A FINE KETTLE OF FISH
I do not envy President-elect Obama. Everyway he turns, there is a new predicament. Here's one of the latest:
Remember his plan to spur the economy and boost employment by investing in infrastructure -- roads and such? Well, now a Congressional panel has come out and said that either gas taxes must increase by 50% or else some other method must be derived in order to tax drivers based upon how much they drive if we're going to keep up our country's highway and roads infrastructure.
Seems like that would have been helpful information for Obama to have earlier.
Oh wait, this came out from a congressional panel that has been researching it for quite some time. And wasn't Obama a member of Congress?
Wow ... is it a predicament or is it just darned interesting? How will this play out? Will we go forward with huge investments in infrastructure, and tax people more to cover it, all to create a few short term jobs in the future?
