$146M. That's peanuts. Exxon Mobil got an $8B refund on their taxes. They didn't pay a cent, and got money back. Almost 64 times what the NEA is worth. So, the Feds can tell Exxon to GFTO with their refund, allowing them to pay no taxes, and the pay for the NEA for the next 64 years. How about that instead?
