Gas Tax

So, on the matter of the gas tax holiday. There have been a lot of arguments advanced against it. The Clinton camp has advanced a series of imaginative panderings for it. And I sorta got all caught up in it for a while. I think I have a pretty good handle on all the ways in which a gas tax holiday will not save anyone any money, but will lose lots of money for the government in favor of the oil companies. I think I have HRC's quote about how she doesn't put any stock in these new-fangled "economists" down pat.

What amazes me is that in the midst of all of this chatter, I allowed myself to be completely taken in. I never once, until this moment, realized the most important fact in all of this:

None of these people are going to be President this summer. This whole arguement is moot.

Is pretty sure he hates the phrase "at the pump" even more than he hates the phrase "on Day One," which is a lot.
