Baucus’ Energy Plan is a Train Wreck

WASHINGTON — Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) released yesterday a federal tax reform discussion draft that includes a number of energy provisions. American Energy Alliance Senior Vice President Dan Kish released the following statement in response to the Senator’s plan:

“Senator Baucus’ energy tax plan should serve as a reminder that he was Obamacare’s chief author and then later distanced himself from his work by calling it a “train wreck”. Americans should be getting wise to career politicians who feign surprise when their “solutions to problems” end up blowing up in Americans’ faces.  The Baucus energy plan is just another train wreck waiting to happen, and in this case, it’s just another hidden tax on Americans who are struggling to work and pay their bills.  Montanans and Americans don’t need fewer jobs and higher energy prices – the logical result of Baucus’ latest train wreck proposal. It’s just proof his decision to retire is long overdue.”
