No, Obama isn't wrong....
He admits he made a mistake in Illinois, but that's beside the point. The people that are being hurt by the gas tax are low income. There are much more effective ways to target tax relief their way that would help with the gas expense, if that expense is a necessity. And that wouldn't increase demand, if the gas expense is not a necessity.
If the Clinton funding mechanism is viable, a windfall profit tax, it should not be used for short term minimal relief. Those billions should be invested in ending this long term problem. Obama is right.
