The proposed gas tax holiday put forth by the Clinton McCain junta is a complete joke. Anyone fooled by this "wonderful gift" from those candidates is living in a dream. An 18.4 cent reduction in gas for the summer will not save anybody any money - especially taking it away from federal road projects (or diverting money there from elsewhere).
Think about it, if you have a 12 gallon tank like me, it saves you about $2 per fill up. Even if you fill up 50 times this summer, a ridiculous amount unless you're a touring band in a gas guzzling van, you only save $100. That's 6 times less then George Bush's $600 band-aid bribes he's sending out to most families.
Why don't they just combine the two and give everyone a $700 gas credit?
But seriously folks, don't be fooled into thinking these candidates are doing something noble and Barack doesn't want to because "he doesn't understand average Americans". This is a psychological proposal only, not a helpful one.
