Rationalize this,
R

what's to rationalize?? So what, they'll figure out where the law stands and
pay the tab, I figure. How, in heaven's name, does that, in any way lessen
the absolute stupidity of McCain's gas-tax holiday?
Since you bring that one up, let's look it for a moment.
First, the savings is what, around $0.20 per gallon? Yet, the money
generated goes into road and bridge upkeep
(remember that bridge that fell into the river up in Minnesota....there's
lots more where that came from).
So we will mandate a reduction in bridge and highway repair to appease the
slower-witted voters out there. And, at the same time, **** off anyone whose
livelihood stems from road or bridge construction. Great plan, John...no
wonder it was a non-starter!
