Obama is wrong about the gas tax
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.
By George Frost [2008-05-06]

  • WRONG!

    If you watched Meet the Press on Sunday, Sen. Obama admitted that he voted for the gas tax moratorium in Illinois, but he also admitted that he was wrong. The price of gas just went up.

    It would be great when people learn the whole story. This gas tax thing is pandering, $28 - $30 - $70 is not going to help much when it comes to paying for mortgages, healthcare and food.

    This is only a band-aid approach that will be forgotten after the election.

    If Sen. Clinton wants it so bad, perhap she should offer a bill with Sen. McCain to cut the tax.

    She seems to know better than the Economists that say it won't work.
