"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."

WOW.... he wants to bribe me with 18.4 cents per gallon! Dang.... that is to good to pass up!!

Go McCain!!!!

:wtf: :P

Seriously though suspending it on Diesel might help truckers in the very short term. But, the idea is worthless without a plan for after wards. GEEEE.... why does a Republican without a plan for what to do after wards sound so familiar?

1. we make up the revenue shortfall by borrowing from the Saudis and Chinese

whats the problem?:sarcasm:

[aasleka]

2. WTF like we aren't supposed to know it isn't the taxes it is the windfall profits!

[marmar]

3. It just shows how deluded these right-wingers are.....

McCain is the latest in a long, sad line of them that began with Nixon....

4. And, farmers. Planting season is upon us and, last I knew, they used diesel, too.

Maybe I'm all wet, but even regular gas would be prohibitive. It will be passed down, so we can expect another jolt. They can't plant without gas.

5. so now the federal gov't will subsidize exxon-mobil and their obscene profits

[islandmkl]

6. yes, let's take money away from the feds (so they can borrow more from...

the Chinese and Saudis)....

i missed the part where the gasoline companies quit raiding our economy...

looks like their profits aren't part of the plan...

7. also toss in 2.5 mortgage rates and you have a deal....LOL...nt

8. wait till the repukes give everyone $600 (of their own money)

I think this was nothing but an attempt to buy votes this summer

[TwixVoy]

11. Yes AND

AND it was an attempt to give the economy a "rise" just before the election. They are probably praying to god that the "stimulus" checks give the stock market just enough of a rise to get them through the election.... I can promise you the economy will be tanking through most of next year. If Mccain gets in ALL of next year.... we are looking at an economic deperssion in that case.

9. The fools will actually go for it

Never underestimate the masses. They go for shit like this all time.

10. woohoo! now i'll be able to buy that Newspaper i've been eyeing!

Seriously, is he fucking kidding? Way to try and pay for votes.
