Sen. Cardin

Reader comment on: USA Today on Oil Taxes

Submitted by David (United States), May 16, 2011 10:33

I heard a statement by my Senator, Ben Cardin claiming that reducing these deductions will not affect jobs or prices. Of course he also promoted and voted for Obamacare, about which CMS's chief actuary said,

"(T)he financial projections shown in this report for Medicare do not represent a reasonable expectation for actual program operations in either the short range. . . or the long range. . . . I encourage readers to review the 'illustrative alternative' projections that are based on more sustainable assumptions for physician and other Medicare price updates."

Given how wrong Sen. Cardin was about Obamacare, why should I trust his pronouncements on the oil industry?
