Do you think it would be good for the US government to declare a 'gas tax holiday' for the summer?

No. With the current debt crisis and the dollar dropping like a rock, cutting taxes in any way is simply going to make the problem bigger. Just consider doing something closer to home or taking a flight.

In my state where it is tax free, it might nice to have a 'gas tax holiday' -- why not?? :-)

Nope. The sooner people get frustrated over high gas prices, the sooner someone will find other sources of power.

The 'gas tax holiday' is a joke! The Fed gets billions in tax dollars from everything else anyway. I say stop printing funny money and dumping it into our system and stop borrowing so much $$ from China. Get the dollar back up to what it's value should be and stop putting "band aids" on the problems...FIND SOME REAL SOLUTIONS! Thanks Ed for the question! :D

Economists say No..a coupla duplicitous politicians say Yes..I'll go with the economists on this one. Total political promiscuity..sell the body/soul for votes from the gullible! Shame on them! If they don't know any better, why in the he** do we want them to be our President? If they do know better and are just doing this for political posturing, why in the he** do we want them for president? :(

I think it would be a great idea for the government to repeal the gas tax permanently. Besides the government doesn't use the tax for what it is was intended for anyway.

A gas tax holiday is horrible. Quite simply we need to put a price freeze on gas and then jack up the taxes on oil companies, and take back some of the money they've stolen from us. Force the companies that make $50,000 a minute in profit to kick back into our economy.
