The holiday is not a solution, it is a placebo. It's $2.16 per tank full, temporarily. Thinking that that helps the masses is insulting. 716244@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 May 2008 20:57:32 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/05/214248.php#comment-715800 I want a long range plan concerning the rising cost of gasoline. Congress, Democrats and Republicans voted for our 600 dollar tax rebate. This was an obvious short term deal. Where are the long term solutions. The gasoline tax holiday and our recent take rebates are just like trying to use your credit cards to pay your debts, short term relief with increasing obligations plus interest. 715800@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 May 2008 13:29:02 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/05/214248.php#comment-715682 As usual, I appreciate your insights and thoughtful take on any given subject. Hillary always says she has learned from her failures,[not getting universal healthcare during her husband's time in office].She has learned how to get things done. Pragmatic is good--and the word I would use to describe her.Compromise is not an ugly word either, I am told. I would ask Obama: "Where's the hope?"--Kinda like the old fast-food T.V. commercial--"Where's the beef?" Vision is good--a workable plan is better. A leader with both is best. Thanks for this one, Gary. 715682@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 May 2008 03:46:34 EDT
