Senator Clinton has now joined Senator McCain in calling for a suspension of the federal gasoline tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It’s 18.4 cents a gallon, or less than five percent of the average cost. Worse, it is simply bad public policy.
Anyone advocating such a mindless scheme is simply unfit to lead this nation during a time of economic, energy and environmental crisis.
The price of gasoline has actually increased more than the federal tax since McCain suggested its suspension.
