The “gas tax holiday” being shilled by Hillary Clinton and John McCain is more McCrap from empty suits.
You know about empty suits: Look good in meetings. Write nice memos. Never met a decision for which they didn’t maintain “plausible deniability.” From Robert Reich:
Even though the summer gas tax holiday is pure hokum, it polls well, which is why HRC and John McCain are pushing it. That Barack Obama is not in favor of it despite its positive polling numbers speaks volumes about the kind of president he’ll be – and the kind of president we’d otherwise get from McCain and HRC.
Haven’t we had enough of politicians who reject facts in favor of short-term poll-driven politics?
(Aside: Probably not. Fantasy trumps thought. That’s how we got Bush in the first place. Oh, yeah, there was that little sell-out by the Supremes, but that’s all sludge through the filtration field by now.)
