Cutting taxes is great when the government has more than enough money to pay for things we need, like defense, police, ambulances, schools, and parks. But if it doesn't, it's gonna make up the money somewhere else.  It has to. So if they cut the gas tax, they have to raise some other tax.

My car gets 25  miles per gallon. I drive 300 miles each week, and burn 12 gallons.  My brother burns 25 gallons in his 12 mpg car.  He buys more gas and pays more tax. I told him it was a foolish and shortsighted to buy a big car.  With this bogus tax bonanza, when the government comes to make up the money, I'm gonna pay part of his share. It doesn't seem fair to ask me to subsidize my brother's foolish choice for a big car, but that's what McCain and Clinton are asking me to do. I love my brother but I don't want to support him. 

Altho, we’re not talking about a lot of money. The Federal gas tax is 18 cents per gallon. The tax on 12 gallons of gas is about $2.00. Enough for a pack of gum. Not enough for a slice of pizza.  Over the course of the summer, it would amount to $25.  Enough for one day at the beach.

John McCain is not talking straight when he talks about gimmicks like this bogus gas tax bonanza, which will be long gone by the time election-day rolls around.  He's not being conservative; he's not being careful with taxpayer money.  What's he going to do in October? Ask his buddies in the White House to "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran?"

Barack Obama asked "Is that the best you can do?"

There's five months between now and election day. We could save $60 billion dollars by getting out of Iraq.  That's why Obama will end the occupation of Iraq, and why I support Obama. He relies on good ideas and good judgment.
