RE: Taxing smokers is unjust and ludacris
Congress could always cut the DoD budget by 1% (this results in $30 billion over 5 years)
btw...the NPR article quotes the price tag of SCHIP as $35 Billion over 5 years. So maybe we could tax oil and utility companies for spewing toxins in the air. Or perhaps Congress could strike an 11th hour compromise with the lobbyists and get a cool $1 billion from oil and utility companies combined per year for 5 years to make up the difference? I mean, surely huge oil companies pulling down $39.5 bil net can get together and toss a little bit of money back at the American people whose children and environment live with the carcinogenic additives.
