One thing is for sure, if you increase the operating cost or decrease the profits of a Business they will pass that along to the consumer.
There is nothing stopping them from raising the price at the pumps to offset the loss they incurred from loosing their Subsidies and paying higher Royalties.
It will be a good thing for the Government, they will get more money to spend, but we will pay the price at the pumps.
I am all for doing away with Subsidies, but do not blow smoke up my butt like the Dem's are doing. All they did was secure more Gov money and give the consumer less money in their pocket.
And how many times in the past have they been able to ear mark money to go where it is suppose to? I guess they do such a good job keeping Social Security money in its proper place we can trust them to keep this money going in the proper spot.
Dem's have secured poor getting poorer with this bill and minimum wage increase. But I guess that is the way they like it, if the poor did not stay poor they would not have a base.
