Border Fee Proposed



Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano seeks to tax Canadians entering the US.

The U.S. government is proposing to charge a new fee for every vehicle or pedestrian crossing the U.S.-Canada border — an idea that has prompted fierce objections from New York lawmakers who claim the levy would stifle transboundary commerce and undermine recent efforts to ease the flow of people and goods between the two countries.

Arguably, the Obama administration only has ideas which are impediments to business and economic growth. Just tax and spend.
