Over the past ten years, NATO has held almost as many summits as it did during the entirety of the Cold War. Are they still useful, or is it time to stop holding annual meetings?

The enactment of an oil security tax, based on the price of oil and paid by oil companies, coupled with a consumer gas tax could help maintain America’s struggling infrastructure and support the country’s global competitiveness.

We suggest the enactment of an oil security tax, a fixed percentage based on the price of a barrel of oil and paid by oil companies for every barrel produced in or imported into the United States.
The consumer gas tax would increase when oil prices fall and consumers get relief at the pump, and the tax would be reduced when oil prices rise. This “countercycle” plan will raise the money needed to build America’s future while spreading the cost more equitably across both fuel producers and fuel consumers.
Since oil companies benefit from our transportation system, which consumes 70 percent of oil products, this is both reasonable and fair. Simply letting America’s vital infrastructure decay is not.
