Fact Check: Hillary and the Windfall Profits Tax

Did you vote for your candidate on my poll...send your friends here also!!!

Today 5/4/08, on Meet the Press, Sen. Obama claimed Hillary was using the same windfall profits tax to pay for two proposals:

Now, Senator Clinton says that she's going to use the windfall profits tax to
fill it. First of all, she's already said she's going to use that for something
else, as I have, and that is to invest in clean energy and, and-- other
important measures. So, that money she's already spending twice.


This is false and misleading.{new kind of politics...huh}

To pay for the gas tax holiday, Hillary is calling for a windfall tax on the oil companies' 2008 profits. It's an immediate proposal. Hillary has never proposed a tax on 2008 profits previously.

Hillary would continue the windfall tax on 2009 profits and beyond, and that revenue would go to her strategic energy fund and for renewable energy.
