Last year Obama told senior citizens that they wouldn't see a 2016 cost of living adjustment in their Social Security benefits because of "cheap oil." The new tax would only be applied to domestic and imported oil, but not to oil exported to other countries. This means other countries would benefit from the president's largesse, and penalizing Americans in the process.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_pump.jpg
