Obama just put user fees in the budget. Nice.

I don't see anything that specifically points to user fees only an upgrade in the ATC system (which may imply user fees down the line) Now I can't imagine this link is for the entire budget for the department of transport probably only a summary. I can't seem to find the entire budget, I have a hard time believing that the "New Era of Responsibility" is only 140 pages. So I wouldn't put it past our lawmakers to slip something into the bill. BTW I find it interesting that the Earmarks that than Senator Obama pushed for are still in the budget but the executive branch has removed his name from them. So much for transparency.

My disgust with OneBigAssMistake,America, is quickly turning into hate. I finally land a job I can be proud of and now this prick along with all the other dumbs are gonna sink it faster than the titanic. Anybody have a shoe I can throw!

No doubt, that is some funny sh*t, but I think this is funnier.

R170 you beat me to it I was just about to post that article. So much for that but, according to the article these have been slipped in many yearly budgets' but not adopted. Looks like we have a good ally in Sen. Obestar. Time to start writing more letters I guess.

As in, every corporate jet will be paying a fee for every flight? If true, say goodbye to GA and the fracs.

Nope.

Can't be true...

I was told on this board by Obama supporters that one of the reasons Bush sucks and I should support obama was that Bush was going to give us user fees. Th Annointed One would never do this.
 
Well Brother, there is no accounting for taste :)

More from the party of the people. I particularly like how the congressional aide called this story a joke. It's time to elect 535 new members of congress.

All part of the cycle. We'll see a sea of Red in about 2 yrs, when all of these lying, worthless, scum called liberals get booted out. They'll have to get in bread lines like everyone else. It'll be ironic...it'll be their ridiculous commie policies that will put us in the lines, then they'll be in them.

All I can do when I think about these clowns is just put my face in my hands and shake my head in disgust.

The goal of Socialism is for everyone but the ruling elite to be equally miserable and dependent on the government.

Let's start now to work on throwing them out of office the next time we go to the polls.

Where have you been lately? Stuck in a time capsule somewhere? WTFU, stop watching faux news and realize that the socialism is going to the corporations.

Maybe this is true but I think United flies a B-777 to SFO without stopping for fuel. She could buy the first class section out cheaper than operating a 757 back and forth.

The "sheeple" complex is strong with pilots. Why is that?

After all the atrocities perpetrated on this country by the sh*t-birds in the party of George Bush, that made it through their system of checks and balances, I wouldn't fault the Dems. for a trial balloon/fishing expedition that never put anything on the deck of the boat. Fact is in the end they self corrected. More than I can say for the presumptive plotocrats in the R. party.

You help those that that hate and undermine you, the working people of this country, when you support the conservative party. The sooner you realize that the better for all of us.

GG, pilots are not that way. For some reason by in large they are dyed in the wool wingnuts. I have worked for three airlines and one fractional and the theme is always consistent: They complain about wages being cut, benefits going away, pensions getting robbed, CEOs and execs getting bonuses, contracts getting abrogated, "It's the Unions fault", and the list goes on and on. YET, they defend vehemently the various conservative institutions that 9 times out of 10 are the cause of their ills.

What most don't understand or worse, they thrust their coconut into the sand-is that it's not about repubs versus dems anymore. It's about dems and repubs, K Street, Wallstreet, the Banks, ruining this country. Folks we need change, it isn't going to happen when you got Limbaugh and the likes leading you around by your nose telling you what to think. Most of you that frequent this board are better educated then these types. More capable even. We got to learn to fix these messes ourselves.

They let you out of the house without your helmet?
 
Animal Mother talking to Gerry "G" is like

A Sheep Dog talking to a Sheep.


Keep playing your Gibson Gerry, and I'll play one of mine.

Life will be good fo you as long as Animal Mother can keep the Wolf away from you.

But you and the other sheep are making it so hard man.

Animal wears his helmet to keep from ending up like you!

Here is one of my favorite quotes on Sheep:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheepdog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours." [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]From the book, On Combat, by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman[/FONT].

Not all "sheepdogs" accomplish their work through violence and not all of them look like the wolf.
