Mc-Let's-Suspend-the-Federal-Gas-Tax Is At It Again...

Yup. Remember that whole thing a couple of months back about suspending federal taxes on gasoline for the summer? The one Hillary and McDumDum agreed on, but that Obama opposed because it's just not a real solution? Well, McRepetitive is at it again, lobbying to suspend the $0.184 (that's 18.4 cent per gallon) tax through Labor Day:

McCain lobbied anew to suspend the 18.4 cent federal tax on gasoline and 24.4 cent diesel tax until Labor Day on September 1.

"Even in tough times for our economy, when folks are struggling to pay for gas and groceries, tax relief just isn't change he can believe in," McCain said, turning Obama's mantra of change against the Democrat.

Now, personally, I don't drive much since I work from home and most of the stores I patronize are within two miles of my home. So I did the math, and suspension of this tax would save me a whopping $11 (yeah, a whole eleven dollars). Big whoop. In total, along with my wife driving, it might save us $40 for the whole summer. Big f*****g deal. That won't even pay one of any of our bills, AND it's only a temporary cut anyway.

It's really time for this country to start seriously looking to alternative energy sources and stop allowing oil lobbyists to control what goes on in Washington and stop them from keeping us dependent on terrorist-funding countries like Saudi Arabia.
