McCain, for wanting to increase offshore drilling in Florida, or Obama, for wanting to send out a $1,000-per-taxpayer “emergency” rebate check?
Offshore drilling isn’t going to lower fuel costs in the short term. Reining in speculators might help. Oh, and not wasting petroleum to fuel ground and air assault vehicles in the name of pressing a pointless, endless war.
Contrarily, the Bush “stimulus”, an echo of what he did in 2001, was a shoddy idea; where’s the money coming from? Corporate welfare tax cuts are already so deep that our national debt is higher than it was even under Reagan.
So … Barack, where do you think the money will come from to pay for another grand per person?
