Gas Tax Holiday--Are You Kidding?
Posted 1 year 45 weeks ago byThis is a cross post with my word press blog.
OMG! McCain has offered a solution to the high cost of gas, that is a summer holiday from the Federal tax on gasoline. But wait, Clinton is offering the same proposal. Thinking…….that alone should tell the voter something…Dem and Repub thinking alike……now that should also show how much change their would be in Washington if either were elected.
Beyond that political comment, let us look at the proposal. I cannot find any economist that thinks that would be a good idea. It would save about $30 over the summer, or about 30 cents a day. In the beginning it would most likely bring the price of gas down, but then demand would shoot up and in this system of supply and demand, prices would raise again. With more driving the amount of pollution would increase. Lastly, it would lessen Federal revenue, at a time that these domestic programs cannot afford a loss of funds.
Now some one please tell me these uninformed people are kidding. And someone please tell me that these people are not running for president. I have always contended that the anti-christ was the DLC and now they are of a like mind with McCain. Remind me again of the changes that another Clinton would bring to the table.

A very good point

POLITICAL COW DONG; NOT A GAS HOLIDAY!
Submitted on May 1st, 2008 by Skye RiversIF IT smells like a duck, walks like a duck, and quakes like a duck.. hey IT'S A DUCK! IF IT sounds too good to be true, it usually is and you're right about the math.
Most people, again I say, have cow mentality moo-ing their way through life trusting anything and everything their politicians "preach" as truth as their hoofs roam and graze on political cow dong.
As far as what kind of change another Clinton would bring to the table, she has the fire in her belly which I do not see with Obama and that is her driving force for change.
