Senate Democrats are moving to quintuple the tax that oil companies pay into an oil spill liability fund.

The new legislation would raise the tax on oil produced offshore from 8-cents to 41-cents per barrel. That's nine cents higher than legislation that passed the House [- also controlled by Democrats -] last month.

* HEY FOLKS... GUESS WHO WILL END UP PAY THAT EXTRA 33-CENTS AT THE PUMP... (*SMIRK*)

* OH... AND IF ANYONE THINKS CONGRESS WOULDN'T SIMPLY STEAL ("REDIRECT/BORROW") THE NEW TAX REVENUE TO SPEND ON GENERAL EXPENDITURES... WELL... I'VE GOT SOME DESERT LAND IN NEW MEXICO I MIGHT BE WILLING TO SELL...

Trying to get to 60 votes, Senate Democrats proposed changes to a House-passed jobs bill Tuesday that would increase aid to cash-strapped states...

* MORE BAILOUTS. MORE DEFICIT SPENDING. MORE DEBT. MORE IRRESPONSIBILITY OUT OF WASHINGTON.

An estimated $24 billion in Medicaid funds — dropped by the House before Memorial Day - would be restored after an outcry from governors and liberals.

* SEE, FOLKS... YOU SIMPLY CAN'T TRUST THE DEMOCRATS.

At the same time, a handful of swing Democrats on the East and West coasts would win concessions to soften House reforms that target wealthy investment-fund partners who now shelter their income at lower rates afforded capital gains.

* YEP. YOU READ THAT RIGHT. DEMOCRATS RIDING TO THE RESCUE OF HEDGE FUND MANAGERS! (*SMIRK*) YEP... THE PARTY OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE, HUH... (*SNORT*)
