McCain to propose summer “holiday” from taxes on gasoline

Republican presidential contender John McCain this morning will suggest “that the federal government suspend all taxes on gasoline now paid by the American people

He will also propose that the federal government “suspend the purchase of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has also contributed to the rising price of oil. This measure, combined with the summer-long ‘gas-tax holiday,’ will bring a timely reduction in the price of gasoline. And because the cost of gas affects the price of food, packaging, and just about everything else, these immediate steps will help to spread relief across the American economy.”
