Think Clinton's plan to suspend the gas tax temporarily is a bad idea? A similar measure in Illinois -- which Obama backed -- seems to have helped consumers.
  • Let's Suspend All Taxes Indefinitely!

    And what an economic stimulus that would be! Think of it, the whole federal budget, not just 9% of it, being borrowed from China and Japan! Whoohoo, let the good times roll! Sounds like a plan! Since we're voyaging on the Titanic, so let's party hardy! And when crude hits $240 a barrel and gas is $8.00 a gallon a year from now, we can start sell off the country a state at a time to keep with the beat. Please, we a national priority list of disposable states. Maybe Senators Clinton and McCain could help develop one. The Canadians may be interested in buying North Dakota, which wouldn't be much of a loss, as American seem to moving out in droves anyway. Alaska could be sold back to the Russians at a substantial profit. Many in Vermont (or is it New Hampshire?) want to secede, so let'em...for a price. Mexico wants Arizona, the Spaniard may want Florida...but I say we keep the sun-belt states for last.
