Either McCain is a fool, or he's playing us all for one
Today McCain mentioned a silly plan about eliminating gas tax from between Memorial Day and Labor Day. This would save most of us a whopping $0.18 per gallon.

"The effect of this 'gas tax holiday' will be an immediate economic stimulus -- taking a few dollars off the price of a tank of gas every time you fill up," McCain wrote in a fundraising e-mail to campaign supporters on April 17. "And because the cost of gas affects the price of food, packaging and just about everything else, this immediate step will spread economic relief to every family in America."
Wait, a couple bucks a fill is going to stimulate the economy? Just how exactly is an extra couple bucks a week going to stimulate anything? A "Dollar Menunairre" could barely buy a "meal" from this, and that's not even a healthy one.
The $600/person refund isn't enough. Pumping fake and free money into the marketplace is not the answer, honestly I doubt many people would even use this money to benefit themselves, as it will most go to Wal-Mart, or to the banks in the form of interest on debts. This is hardly a solution. You will be diluting our dollar even more.
Your stance needs to change, and real underlying problems need to be corrected. These problems are the banks, politicians like yourself, and the rest of the greedy capitalist/fascist cronies in Washington. The disconnect between personal income and housing prices must end. The corporations and banks need to be exposed locked up, and we need to bring our troops home.
This is the only thing us Americans want, but instead your answer is a fucking pile of worthless money. Money that if we save, will immediately lose its value thanks to your Republican limp dick economy.
McCain will not fix our problems.
