Gasoline Tax........HOLIDAY!?!?

Really!?!? Is this any kind of ‘tax holiday’ at all? Sad to say, but Obama is dead on with this one. A few easy calculations: if you were lucky(?) enough to own AND drive a 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago from your home in Boulder City to your job at Mt. Charleston (43.74 miles according to Mapquest), your total savings would be a whopping $140.84; if you drive an average car like a 1999 Saturn SL, your total savings would be even less at $45.07. If Hillary and McCain think an extra $40.24/month will change our lives, then they are playing standard politics: tell the people something, anything, to make the news of the day go down a little better.

Even thought the plan will change our prices here in Nevada, it is still a very dumb plan.
