What else does Hillary have as a 'new' plan ?

She just presses the 'panic button' with a imperial belief that something might work. I am already tired of the cheap propagandas churned by the clinton machine. This new " Gas Tax Holiday" is another  gimmick (frustratingly it won't be the last one) to garner the popular votes. The saving would be minimal and eventually benefit the oil sharks.

BTW, it's not her original idea. She copied it from McCain.  Maybe she 'misspoke' about it.  The plan simply doesn't work if you analyze the supply-demand of the oil. Furthermore,  they (including McCain) have to learn from the failure of the similar proposal in Illinois. I hope people would be disillusioned about this pandering with which Hillary tries to bag the swing votes in the remaining states.  I am waiting for the day when the final nail would be hammered to her presidential campaign.


The follwing is the link which dismisses the proposal. More than 200 economists have criticized the plan. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aTzCmqCNyLho&refer=home
