Gas Tax Holiday
Senator and Presidential candidate John McCain (RINO - AZ) proposes a holiday on gas taxes:
“I propose that the federal government suspend all taxes on gasoline now paid by the American people — from Memorial Day to Labor Day of this year. The effect will be an immediate economic stimulus — taking a few dollars off the price of a tank of gas every time a family, a farmer, or trucker stops to fill up. Over the same period, our government should suspend the purchase of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has also contributed to the rising price of oil. This measure, combined with the summer-long “gas-tax holiday,” will bring a timely reduction in the price of gasoline. And because the cost of gas affects the price of food, packaging, and just about everything else, these immediate steps will help to spread relief across the American economy.” (story here)
If this is something they want to try, then getting the states to jump on board would make this “holiday” have the greatest impact. It won’t happen in Delaware because the budget can’t handle it this year. Maryland won’t do it either. If there was a state that would take the “holiday”, more than likely they would draw many drivers in from neighboring states, giving a boost to that state’s economy. We live 7-8 miles from Maryland. If gas was 20-some cents cheaper than Delaware, it might pay to drive down there just for gas.
I talked about pausing the tax here.
