The old "New Deal" programs were break-even propositions -- no profit, no growth, so no new jobs, just a transfer of money from one source to another. Just government make-work, little different than Germany building the autobahn. Heck, Steve — the ground-hogs out there think this is an opportunity for free money — of *COURSE* they're lining up.

Since oil prices are now well below record levels, Obama's tax proposal will implement a tax equal to the difference between the retail price and $ 4.50. To make sure that oil companies, retailers, states, etc. don't try to raise prices to cut the revenue, Obama will implement price controls on petroleum prices. Get ready for the gas lines to return (another Jimmy Carter idea). Obama will implement a "windfall benefits" tax, sort of a new approach to the "windfall profits" tax on the oil companies.
