Odd twist and turn to the gas tax suspension proposals
http://www.justaguywhoreadsthepapers.com/ odd-twist-and-turn-to-the-gas-tax-suspe...
I wrote last week about the ridiculous pandering going on by Sen. McCain and Sen. Clinton regarding a suspension of the federal gasoline tax during the summer travel season. I suggested then that it was idiotic for a variety of reasons. Now I heard just a snatch on a radio news broadcast yesterday about a suggestion from our Republican Congressman here in my part of Missouri, Rep. Roy Blunt, on how we (i.e., the federal government) could cover the highway maintenance revenues such a tax recess would bring about. He proposes we simply cut money out of the many federal “earmarks” in funding bills to cover the difference.
