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]

  • Salon@HillaryClinton.com

    When did Salon.com become indistinguishable from HillaryClinton.com? First there's Sean Wilentz's "new math" delegate-miscounting piece, now this nonsense. And we shouldn't forget Joan Walsh's daily "just vote for the woman, never mind her voting record, policies or ethics" insults to the intelligence of actual women voters.

    Frost cites no firm case for the so-called "holiday" whatsoever. A generous interpretation of the arguments in the piece is that maybe, possibly it could potentially save drivers $30-50 -- not per week, or even per month, mind you, but a one-shot. It's a tax break of dinner and a movie for one: utterly insignificant for individuals, nonsense public policy for the nation.
