Gas Tax Holiday Redux

Two more points about Senators McCain's and Clinton's call for a moratorium on the federal excise tax on gasoline over the summer months:
- By depriving the Highway Trust Fund of revenue for a quarter, how do the Senators propose the issue of laid off highway and bridge workers be handled?
- What summer are the Senators talking about? It sure can't be this summer. Senator McCain is never in Washington to push legislation or vote on any bills and Senator Clinton has proposed the cost of the tax moratorium be offset by a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. Do the Senators really believe we are so gullible to think they can pull this off in the next five weeks?
Just more pandering it seems.
