House Dems eye scrapping fossil fuel subsidies to pay for $3.5T spending package. Washington Times.
House Democrats are eyeing a repeal of all federal subsidies for the fossil fuel industry within President Biden’s massive $3.5 trillion spending package, arguing that the move is needed to not only pay for the proposal but also combat climate change and advance “racial justice.” More than 50 House Democrats, led by senior members of the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanding an end to all federal support for the oil and natural gas industries. The lawmakers argued that the federal subsidies only serve to benefit big corporations at the expense of average citizens, particularly people of color. < How exactly does raising taxes on oil & gas companies advance the case for "racial justice"? Higher taxes on oil & gas will be passed on to consumers and impact lower income families the most. They never learn in Washington DC.
