I didn't vote for Obama (suprise) so I am not suprised by the continued talk of increased taxation in every one of his programs. Today it is $1300 per car for the new CAFE standards.Althgough he claims in 3 years the car owner will make it up with lower fuel costs-don't count on it.
The Dems want additional taxes on petrol,and inflation or world events can cause gas to go to $ 4-5 /per gallon.
Then there is the cap and trade-an idiotic concept if I ever heard of one.That will raise energy cost for our home electricity 1-2 thousand dollars PER YEAR/per family.
Health care costs are next,and today the Senate is discussing how to screw us-I mean TAX US-SODAS , perhaps a tax on breathing air.
AS CALIFORNIANS GO TO THE POLLS TODAY, TO HOPEFULLY SEND A MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON, PERHAPS A LARGE DEFEAT AND THE NEED FOR BANKRUPTCY OF THE STATE (WITH ITS PUBLIC SERVICE UNIONS TRAVESTY) WILL START DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA TO START ASKING "WHEN WILL IT END?"

After I wrote the above,there is a story in Haaretz that Sen. Kerry pressed Bibi on settlements,(as did Obama).Mitchell ,Jones and Kerry are the heavies while Hillary is apparently more understanding.
It will not be the first or last disagreement between Bibi and the US.Hopefully the friends of Israel in the Congress will keep the lid on an explosion.
Tomorrow when I join NORPAC in Washington,that will be the main issue to impress upon Congress-support on Iran,and avoid pressure on settlements and the 2-state issue.
