So I see John McCain is out with a new plan to cut the gas tax for the summer.
McCain's gas tax holiday would suspend the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Which, mind you, doesn't mean we'll pay less; seems to me like an easy way to keep people from noticing the next price hike for record profits.
IE, another quarter per gal for big oil.
Wasn't McCain the maverick who keeps preaching about fiscal responsibility. Gas taxes fund roads and bridges, and as it is, ours are falling apart.
But hey, perhaps this is a bow to the most radical greens among us. Collapsing bridges do get people out of their cars. And at his age, I doubt they let him behind the wheel, anyway.
