Gas tax idiocy

Clinton and McCain both propose gas tax holidays during the summer driving season. Isn't that exactly what we shouldn't be doing?

It won't save the taxpayers any money. All it does is shift the burden for rebuilding our crumbling highways to other sources of revenue.

It will increase consumption.

It will be an enormous boost to the oil industry because it will reduce their overhead by 18 cents a gallon,

Obama says the gas tax holiday is nutty. He's right. In fact, he seems like the only grownup left in the race.

Hillary keeps reminding me of reasons why I will leave that part of my ballot blank if she is nominated.
