McCain want to suspend gas taxes for the summer
From Memorial Day until Labor Day, McCain would like to save motorists 18 cents in Federal taxes.
Here's a guy who openly plans on trying to continue the United States World Empire which currently costs us about a trillion dollars a year and he wants to cut taxes to save us a few cents a gallon at the pump.
As is the norm these days, the government will make up the difference by borrowing the money from China or the Federal Reserve, which ultimately is going to cost us our Republic.
People are going to wake up to the point that these little games that politicians play to make it *seem* like they are helping, are just for looks and actually make the situation worse.
At least, I hope people wake up. So help me Fed, people, take the red pill.
Year ago, in the UK, the current party reduced taxes in order to win an election. Years later we paid the price and taxes had to increased and we were in all sorts of economic difficulties as a result. It is a pity that not enough people understand economics and how these things will effect us in the future.

People only see (and are only told about) the front end.
A tax rebate? Great!
Tax relief on gas? Wonderful!
They aren't told how expensive it is to make these things possible.
Short term gain, long term pain.
