Poll question: Is Hillary's gas tax holiday McCain stolen idea a good one?
Advertisements [?]
I don't believe it is.

It's simply a political gimmick from Washington politicians who think that Americans will be fooled by the generally good sound of a gas tax holiday that would extend over several months. On paper, it sounds wonderful. When I first head about it, I thought John McCain and Hillary Clinton were onto something good. Upon further research, it would save you on average...what? 20 dollars or so? That's half a tank of gas in my car.

Half a tank of gas? That's the gimmick they're sugarcoating and playing off as a political gimmick. We need long term solutions, not just short term gimmicks that won't really benefit me or my family much anyway.

If Hillary thinks Americans will be fooled by this, she's absolutely gone off the deep end!!

Do you believe Hillary Clinton's stolen idea she got from John McCain to save you half a tank of gas is a good idea?

Or do you think we need long term solutions and less Washington insiders doing little-to-nothing and pretending they did something to win elections?
