Every Economist who had a word to say on this said it is pandering and not going to make a positive dent. But then Hillary says she doesn't pay attention to Economists anyway.

In my post, I argued that the gas-tax holiday is more of a political issue than a policy issue, because the chances of passage are so low. My main contention is that McCain forced the Dems to take a stand on the issue, and (politically) Hillary was right to counter McCain with her own proposal. I wish Obama had done the same. Hi Kevin.

I swear somebody has to find pictures of him wind surfing! I just heard him talk about how little the gas tax would save people.
