Poly-Tics As Usual Part II

A sure sign that it's time to abandon ship is when Hillary Clinton jumps aboard. Run with the rest of the rats, and head for dry land McCain. In "Poly-Tics As Usual", I scoffed at Republican Senator and Presidential Candidate John McCain's ridiculous proposal for a "Gas Tax Holiday". In sum, we would save 18.4 cents per gallon on gas by suspending the Federal gas tax. In turn that would rob the Federal coffers of nearly 10 billion dollars. That money funds highway repairs and construction all over the U.S. So road construction workers will loose their jobs, adding to unemployment, and the highways and bridges will go to hell. All of this would just be for the summer, come Labor Day we have to all stop driving. Great plan, where do I sign up? This fuss over a lousy 18.4 cents a gallon. Your elected officials think that with that extra money in your pockets, it would actually bring you financial relief. Great, now I can go on that 3000 mile cross country trip because the gas savings will be about $21.60. That is barely enough to take the kids to McDonald's for one happy meal! Just another display of how out of touch your wealthy elected officials are. Watch out bandwagon here comes Super Clinton! Hillary Clinton is now adding her voice to the gas tax boondoggle, which should set off all of our BS alarms. For the second time in a day, I must commend Senator Obama for opposing this crazy idea. It's not the real help we need, it's just Poly-Tics. Like Kinky Friedman said about politics; "Poly, more than one, tics, blood sucking parasites. That's what politics is." He is right, and I would add that I think Clinton and McCain are just a few fries short of a happy meal.
