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.
  • Hilllary Can't Actually Deliver on This Promise

    The most ridiculous part of this whole debate is that even if Hillary had already sponsored a bill to push this "gas-tax holiday," Bush probably wouldn't sign it. And even assuming she wins the nomination and then wins the general election in November (a specious argument at best), the best she could do is try to eliminate the tax when her term starts. Just in time for your road trip in August 2009.

    All of which means that this is completely pointless argument and an example of how politicians will promise the moon even when it's clear that there's no possible way for them to deliver.
