ON 15 April, McSame rolled out the 'Gas Tax Holiday' (repealing the Fed Gas Tax 18.5/24.0 cents respectfully gas/diesel).
It's 'back'. Mentioned at a fundrasier today (where everyone has to pony up $10,000 to get a seat, no 'tightened belts' in that room, i suspect).
At a fundraiser here, Sen. John McCain told donors that Obama "derided" his idea for a three-month holiday from federal gas taxes at the risk of alienating low income voters and truckers.
"I tell you, they say it matters," McCain told the gathering of about 40 people, each of whom had donated or raised $10,000 for the honor of being at the reception. McCain said he doesn't "pretend that it's an answer to our energy problems." But, he said, he believes the people who are hardest hit by the hike in prices "deserve a break."
I thought we 'silver spiked' this BS in IN when Clinton was pandering to 'the people'. No one seemed to notice that neither McSame or Clinton 'moved' legislation in the Senate to actually deliver on this pablum and, now that Clinton's exited (mostly), McSame is pulling it back out.
A-Maz-Ing !
What about the corresponding tax increase on Labor Day?
No matter that between the date McSame originally 'floated' this turd (15 April) and when Clinton co-opted it (30 April) and 03 June MT & SD (where she was STILL throwing it against the wall) NY Spot gas prices increased by 36 cents a gallon! Oblivious (sure HE IS lmao) to the 'whore' sentiments of the oil companies and/or spec traders who will INSTANTLY 'back-fill' any tax decrease w/a profit increase, he's calling for it, again...
A-Maz-Ing !
One question, Mr 'Straight (outta left field) Talk': Are you off your meds?
One MORE question: When the summer 'holiday' from taxes is over are you going to be be standing there smiling when they INCREASE the gas/diesel prices 18.5/24.0 cents JUST in time for 'back to school' and the fall general election campaign!?
Foolish old man. Go home to the 'ranch', McNasty, and get right with your meds.
