McCain-onomics: Cheap gas in every tank
Rev up your engines and hit the road, America: John McCain says it's time for a gas tax holiday
Andrew Leonard [2008-04-15]

  • McCain joins the FGEP (free gasoline for everybody party)

    Actually the Republican Congress wanted to give consumers a $500 tax credit ahead of the midterm elections. What really frosts me is the McCain suggestion that the government should manipulate gasoline prices ahead of the election, (like who gets credit for that?) The Bush team did an end run in the 2004 midterms, including jiggering the GSCommodity Index, and juggling SPR inventories. Truth being it only infuriated the electorate to a greater degree, not that the Democrats have a clue. Cheap gas or free gas, come on John, don't hold back.
