Obama is wrong about the gas tax
When is America going to come to grips with reality? Energy costs are going to go up up up and up. Obama's tax break is merely a vote buying gimmick little different than the free beer at the local tavern after voting the "correct" way in the early 1900s. Obviously a lot of facts are unknown about the supply and/or demand situation. If all the facts were evident it is likely something akin to the Manhattan project would be underway to free America from dependence on foreign oil. As an aside it is rather ironic that while homeland security is insanely paranoid about Canadian "terrorists" no one seems to be concerned that Canada supplies about 1/3 of America's oil needs It is also ironic that in a country where the idea of universal healthcare, overseen by the state is total anathema yet politicians are offering "big brother" handouts and people are apparently lapping them up!
