I agree that removing the Federal gas tax for 2 or 3 months will not solve the bigger problem. I realize a break from it would help families enjoy summer trips or help with gas expense in general.
However, at what cost? The Federal gas tax goes primarily for road maintenance, bridge repairs, traffic flow improvements, etc. These projects are important to the bigger picture, to enterprise and business.
Obama's comments made sense but I do not believe he has endorsed or worked toward the plan President Bush has been pushing for a few years. He has asked for alternative, innovative changes to how we propel our cars. He has asked for drilling our own resources. He has asked for increase nuclear power facilities. He has asked for more refining facilities.
All these things have fallen on deaf ears in Congress. How can Hillary point fingers at the administration? Because, it's easier than holding up a mirror.
Most of the chatter and promises are just empty political ploys.
'til later

- Greetings! I have years, no decades, of financial experiences to share. I have a passion for education. I am a control freak in that I need to know where my $ goes. I continually ask myself do we need that, what risks are we taking with that investment, how/when can we get at our $, and just how much does Uncle Sam demand of our every earned $. Stay tuned to my life choices now and my references to life choices/experiences from my past.
