Just shows that politicians will do anything to get a few votes, even if it means selling out the future.

[REPEAT POST] Thanks to the waning end of the Peak Oil curve, as more countries have greater demand for petroleum fuels that supply can't keep up with the demand, the prices are only going to get higher over time ... at some point in the near future, we as a nation have to seriously consider alternative energy sources, implementing the public works project of creating an electric grid as a replacement for parking meters for plugging in cars, and the very real possibility of recycling our gas guzzling SUV's for more energy efficient hybrids and all-electric vehicles ... the best place to start would be to invest the gas tax money into alternative energy research and infrastructure development ... [ADDENDUM] That politicians would be willing to pander to the willful ignorant masses who would rather save $30 a year now, than to have a long term energy solution where we reduce and eventually eliminate our dependence on gasoline and other limited availability petroleum based fuels, is a shame to our nation ... we need to look upon the upcoming energy crisis as a challenge to America -- something that we can overcome, if we're just willing to put in the effort ...

From the page: "I don't have to agree with everything she says, and I think she was wrong on this one,'' Rivlin said in an interview today. ``If anything, we need higher gas taxes.''

"If anything, we need higher taxes" is going to become Obama's Campaign slogan!

I like how they act like a Nobel Prize still means anything, Nobel Prize = Left wing lunatic award to most people, after they gave algore one for his phony global warming scheme.

From the page: "Economists Criticize Clinton, McCain Gas-Tax Plans (Update1) By Brian Faler May 5 (Bloomberg) -- More than 200 economists, including four Nobel prize winners, signed a letter rejecting proposals by presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and John McCain to offer a summertime gas-tax holiday. Columbia University economist Joseph Stiglitz, former Congressional Budget Office Director Alice Rivlin and 2007 Nobel winner Roger Myerson are among those who signed the letter calling proposals to temporarily lift the tax a bad idea. Another is Richard Schmalensee of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who was member of President George H.W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers."

It drives me more than a little crazy when things like this tax cut are pushed. The idea is "Woo! Tax cut! More money for the little guy." But that's not how this would work out at all. I don't feel like ranting right now. I'm going to go with my typical alternative method of dealing with things like this.
