McSame has proposed a national "gas-tax holiday" this morning:
"I propose that the federal government suspend all taxes on gasoline now paid by the American people — from Memorial Day to Labor Day of this year. The effect will be an immediate economic stimulus — taking a few dollars off the price of a tank of gas every time a family, a farmer, or trucker stops to fill up. Over the same period, our government should suspend the purchase of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has also contributed to the rising price of oil. This measure, combined with the summer-long "gas-tax holiday," will bring a timely reduction in the price of gasoline. And because the cost of gas affects the price of food, packaging, and just about everything else, these immediate steps will help to spread relief across the American economy. " Sen. McCain, Republican Presidential Candidate.
Hmm. Yeah, it’s those damn taxes that make gasoline for your Yukon gas guzzler so expensive. We don’t need roads, bridges and highways, we need lower gas prices during peak driving season.
Reality is a superposition of these two Eigenstates:
State 1: The man is simply stupid. End of story.
State 2: The man is pandering to stupid and desperate voters.
That’s what Presidential politics in the U.S currently looks like. Funny, if you can laugh about it.
