John McCain is Full of Shit
The following is taken directly from the McCain website regarding “Immediate Relief for American Families”:
“John McCain believes we should send a strong message to world markets. Under his plan, the United States will be telling oil producing countries and oil speculators that our dependence on foreign oil will come to an end - and the impact will be lower prices at the pump.”
What? How? Just by “telling” world markets something oil prices will go down? Is he retarded? That is like me “telling” a hot dog vendor that I will only pay 25 cents for a $2 frank.
“John McCain’s policies will increase the value of the dollar and thus reduce the price of oil. In recent years, the declining value of the dollar has added to the cost of imported oil. This will change. Americans will have a stronger economy, a stronger dollar and greater purchasing power for oil, gas and food.”
First of all, the declining value of the dollar has been due to policies that John McCain agreed to. Second, you can’t just “make” the dollar stronger. I don’t have a degree in global economics and I know that much.
John McCain believes we should institute a summer gas tax holiday. Hard-working American families are suffering from higher gasoline prices. John McCain called on Congress to suspend the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
OK. Stop it with the fucking bullshit “tax breaks” a few fucking days a year are not as good as bringing down the overall price of oil. Am I supposed to be that stupid? Also, isn’t that just staving off an inevitable increase later? Holy fuck.
I can’t even get through the rest of it.
Go to the site yourselves. Bring a vomit bag.
