“Sometimes I feel like the Goldilocks of this campaign, not too much, not too little, just right. And I think we should have a gas tax holiday and pay for it."
Yay! Holiday! Woohoo! Will it be a federal paid holiday? Will we be off from work?... No?... What? Oh... it's not a "holiday"? What the fuck?! Is Clinton giving us a holiday or not?
Well if by "holiday" the Clinton campaign means suspending the gasoline tax for three months and losing 300,000 highway construction jobs and $9 billion in highway trust fund revenue in the process, only to jack up the tax again after Labor Day, which will be called a "tax hike" by Republicans and blamed on the Democrats, then... yes.
But don't worry, she's proposing a "windfall profit tax" to offset those lost monies, even though a windfall profit tax has already been brought up by Sen. Byron Dorgan and has died in Congress (surprise, surprise...), and even though she's already spent that money by saying revenues from a windfall profit tax would be used on researching and developing renewable energy.
Good job, Golidocks.
