The White House said Monday it was “disappointed” Congress chose not to include President Barack Obama’s plan to fund green infrastructure projects with a $10 tax on barrels of oil in a Senate amendment to a transportation appropriations bill.The Strongman wants higher taxes for inefficient energy.
Administration officials said “the bill does not support the President’s full vision for a 21st Century Clean Transportation Plan that expands transportation options for American families, while reducing carbon emissions, cutting oil consumption, and creating new jobs.”
Namely, the bill does not include the most controversial piece of Obama’s transportation plan: a $10 tax on every barrel of oil to pay for green infrastructure projects.
