Airlines Say Obama Ticket Fee Plan May Hurt Demand
February 16, 2011, 9:55 AM EST Airlines Say Obama Ticket Fee Plan May Hurt Demand - Businessweek
Proposed airline ticket tax bump has tempers soaring
Sept. 2011
Impose a $100 fee on each commercial airliner and corporate jet every time they take off. Only military planes and small planes with piston engines would be excluded from the new take-off fee.
•Raise the per-passenger security fee, which helps pay for the Transportation Security Administration's airport screening, from the current $2.50 for each leg of a flight to a maximum $5 for a one-way trip to a flat $5 one way. The fee also would rise another 50 cents a year from 2013 through 2017 to $7.50. The Homeland Security Department could raise it further through regulation.
The president's goal is to raise $36 billion to help trim $4 trillion off the deficit in the next decade and get more so-called user-fee money to underwrite aviation security, airport improvement and air traffic control.

Basic understanding of liberal economic philosophy-money shortfall, tax more, absolutely no side effects. I mean do liberals ever think beyond stage one of any economic proposal?

It's YOU who is saying that liberal economic policy, part 3, has absolutely no side effects. Where is that written down except in your post? Do you ever think beyond manufactured ideological adjectives?
I just don't see how this is a good idea. Why are we CONSTANTLY adding new fees and taxes to stuff? CUT other things out! Jeeze! I really want to take back my vote. This guy is such a noob

CUT is a 4 letter word to this administration.
They would rather not pass a budget and do emergency spending instead.
They would rather raise the debt ceiling than cut back on current spending.
They still spend and say "but it's paid for" with no clue where the money will come from.
You're not going to get taxed..you'll get fee'd to death instead.

it's just that every time i hear ''well we're short x amount of dollars, we need to tax x amount and we'll be okiedokie''. well that never works because of diminishing returns. the thought of something like the tsa even being neccessary never occurs to them at all, the first solution to every problem is to tax more. its a very static, elementary way to look at economics.
