No, they just don't matter to those who reject the 50-state strategy, such as Jerome has chosen to do.

Well, at least we won't be stuck running shitty and unreadable websites.

You going to admit how wrong you were next Wednesday?

I was being generous, lol

Really?

She won OH and TX, and did not start raking in the SD endorsements.

You guys said the same thing after PA as well.  

I'm not persuaded by your prediction.

The Dem establishment in both states chose not to have their votes counted.  They were warned, and chose to ignore the warnings.  So there's nobody to blame but them.

Did you bother to do ANY research on this?  At all?

Nope.

Here's Krugman.  I know you'll trust him, because he's quite the pro-Hillary blogger.

Why doesn't cutting the gas tax this summer make sense? It's Econ 101 tax incidence theory: if the supply of a good is more or less unresponsive to the price, the price to consumers will always rise until the quantity demanded falls to match the quantity supplied. Cut taxes, and all that happens is that the pretax price rises by the same amount. The McCain gas tax plan is a giveaway to oil companies, disguised as a gift to consumers.

Is the supply of gasoline really fixed? For this coming summer, it is. Refineries normally run flat out in the summer, the season of peak driving. Any elasticity in the supply comes earlier in the year, when refiners decide how much to put in inventories. The McCain/Clinton gas tax proposal comes too late for that. So it's Econ 101: the tax cut really goes to the oil companies.

The Clinton twist is that she proposes paying for the revenue loss with an excess profits tax on oil companies. In one pocket, out the other. So it's pointless, not evil. But it is pointless, and disappointing.

Comprende?  The OIL COMPANIES save the money.  Not the gas stations, not the consumer, nobody else.  The McCain/Hillary plan is pure shill designed to buy the votes of uninformed people such as yourself.

Nobody stands to save any money, let alone thousands of dollars.

You guys are way out in left field on this one, and it's pretty pathetic.

Lame.  I want to see you admit that, yes, it doesn't work.  Stopping the gas tax for a few months does not translate to lower prices.

You can't just say 'oh, whatever' and expect people to take ya seriously.  It's a losers' cop-out.

Gyar!  You don't really expect that to happen, do you?  I mean, that's not a realistic scenario in the slightest.

Please, for the love of God, study up on the issue of gasoline pricing and taxation before posting more stuff like this.  

My point is that the people of America don't 'deserve' to pay less taxes.  You don't seem to realize that we have a massive deficit and a huge national debt.  You don't pay those off with tax cuts.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that you have no clue what you are talking about; and are most likely in fact a Republican Troll.

Do you honestly - honestly - think that a gas tax relief is going to be passed this summer?

The only real answer you can give is no; because you know in your heart it isn't going to happen, it'll never get through Congress, and even if it did, Bush wouldn't sign it, and even if HE DID, IT WOULDN'T TURN INTO LOWER PRICES AT THE PUMP.  Nothing about this issue is real.  Hillary isn't doing shit to help you or anyone else on this issue.  She's trying to buy votes from people who don't understand how gas pricing works!

God

The idiocy of you people just kills me

As I told the poster below: you do realize, that lowering the gas tax does not translate to a lowering of the prices at the pump?

Geez

You do realize that taxes are lower at this point then at ANY POINT IN THE LAST 50 years?

You do realize that the price will not actually drop?  That Hillary and McCain don't understand the way the oil and gas market operate?

Geez, the hubris around this place!

Not exactly ELECTED experience, though, is it?

She's great at being first lady, though, I'll give her that.
