McCain Proposes Break in Gas Taxes

McCain Proposes Break in Gas Taxes

"To help people weather the downturn immediately, McCain urged Congress to institute a "gas-tax holiday" by suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. He also renewed his call for the United States to stop adding to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and thus lessen to some extent the worldwide demand for oil."

An amazing pander from an amazing politician. Perhaps we should suspend payments to private oil companies for gas as well. Since the user fee for roads doesn't need to be paid, neither does the user fee for energy.

We knew he cared about the environment, but it seems, apparently McCain is for global warming.

At least it is a non-starter.
