I only wish that a good dose of Gas-ex could solve the problem….but that would be way too simple.  Anyway today we will see if the voter buys the Gas Tax Holiday ploy…if they do then Kentucky will be bombarded with the idea, if not maybe it will die an unnatural death.  We can only hope.

The Repub offer is just dumb!  The Clinton offer will give you thought…well it did me, don’t know about you guys.  To help you out, her proposal would be to suspend the Federal gas tax for 3 months of the summer and would be paid by a windfall profit tax on the oil companies.  Sounds good right?  To suspend the tax Congress would have to vote for it and to impose a tax on the companies to cover the loss of revenues would have to be passed by Congress.  THINK that over!  By the time the do-nothing Congress got all their ducks in a row, it would be long past the summer’s 3 months.  Now where would that have benefitted the blue collar worker for the summer?

Would there be a guarantee that during this grace period, if it were ever to make it, that the oil companies would not raise their prices at the pump?  If gas went up the way it has in the last year, then there would be no savings for the people and oil companies would keep more of the money.  Once again where would this help?

To all those supporting this delusional nightmare–explain this in plain simple terms to the people.  Please stop making it sound like they will save enough money over the summer to buy a new SUV.  Political pandering has always amazed me…..those listening seldom ask for clarification, like these politicians would not ever lie to them.  ROFLMAO!
