Joe Barton: “If the replacement tax raised the same amount or less revenue than the current tax, then the answer is yes.”

There's a saying that a lot of us use quite a bit. It's called no good deed goes unpunished.

Then we should just stiff the Medicare recipients?

If we did that and went to a pure market for ethanol, it would work.

I am a little bit skeptical if we are doing this simply because we don't like natural gas power, we don't like coal power, we don't like nuclear power, because that would be an added cost that somebody's got to bear.
