What the fuck is up with this gas-tax holiday? Is it is or is it ain't the most asinine scheme you've heard in the last several years of asinine schemes? I'll give The Saint credit where due on this one. He may also prattle about reducing the cost of a gallon, but at least he's not offering a Labor Day Sale Event.
La Hillary:
At the heart of my approach is a simple belief. Middle-class families are paying too much and oil companies aren’t paying their fair share to help us solve the problems at the pump.It's simple all right. Let's assume for argument that the unlikely comes true and the temporary tax break helps us "solve the problems at the pump." Consumption, then, presumably spikes. This affects the oil companies "paying their fair share" precisely how? Well, I-uh guess I jus ain't simple nuff.

It looks like the gubmint worried that people won't be taking their vacations to Disneyland this year. Thus, the cheepening of gas. How can we have a consumer-driven economy if consumers won't consume?
No member of the Pigou club will be allowed to speak on behalf of any candidate during an election cycle. Or between them, come to think of it.
I loved how the mere mention of an 18-cent reduction in the price of gas caused a 25-cent jump.
It's almost as if the oil companies are telling us to lay back and enjoy the rape, a la Bobby Knight.
I'm powering my car with the tears of Ron Paul supporters.
there will always be winners and losers.
whether the market is "free," or propped up by the Fed (I'd say there is no difference here); whether you are on its side or not is the only distinction worth noting.
a thousand analysts in Manhattan could have told you that.
`the fuckall anyone cares about right or wrongness, morality or justice, equality and fairness? "let the market decide." right.
what nonsense.
do I win, or not?
is the only question. what confuses me is the confusion regarding this.
mr. fun is on point. Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you.
the tricky part is keeping the reality of all human intention and interaction directly in your sights. sure the rat wins the rat race. but whether you're at the top of the pile or the bottom, someone, somewhere is there for you to knock off and "replace." topple, if you will. hell, even the crazy homeless dude I see everyday must have ganked that sleeping bag he's been using off some other crazy homeless dude that wasn't paying attention.
mine! it's all mine! give me the precious.
there is, you'll note, no such thing as a hobbit.
Listen, I have almost no faith in the average American any more. But I have a little faith, although I'm unsure why.
If this gas HOLIDAY passes snuff, I'm done. That anyone could think that saving 20 cents a gallon for 3 months is a solution to anything is so completely mind blowing. I dont know anything about economics but I can multiply .20 X ~200 gallons and it doesnt amount to a hill of shit. And we wont even see that anyway.
And enough with this windfall tax crap - that just gets passed off on the consumer too.
This is so god damn frustrating. I might really need therapy after this crazy crap.

Posting that...retro video alongside La Hill's quotation:
shere brilliance.
Stating the obvious: what would the suspended Fed tax revenue have gone towards? Possibly repairing roads or bridges?
Not to be outdone, one of the shitbird twins - the more public one - got off a great line yesterday. To wit,
"If there were a magic wand I'd wave it"!
Tell me he's not soooo butch.
