The one, and only bright point to this idea is for the transport & retail industries. And that is even miniscule on the consumer level… Over the road truckers, cabbies, etc. Then you’re talking ~$143 over the entire 98 day period. Hell, at that point it won’t even bring down the trickle down of transport costs (groceries & consumable goods costing more because of the trucks that get them from the dock to the shelves) … ---

McCain needs to get back to his housing market plan because that was a million times better than this idea. This one smells like nothing but a trick to get votes. I guess that shouldn’t surprise me though considering my party is the party that knows how to win an election. 😉 ---

It got him in the news, created a buzz, maybe swung the polls, wont actually do much for the trickle down effect for anything. We need to focus on the fuckign mortage mess, in order to get our dollar back up to snuffs ---

what about having two fuel costs, one for consumers the other for commercial use. Give truck frivers, cabbies, and airlines a discounted rate with the understanding that thier rates would go down to help the consumer? ---
