While Mrs. Clinton panders her way through Indiana and North Carolina with her 18.4 cent Federal gas tax holiday, 300,000 construction workers contemplate their 3-month job loss as $9Billion in projects is lost.

Who else will pay?

- Her "windfall" profit tax on oil companies will simply result in these companies RAISING prices at the pump so consumers will pay.

- The reduction in price per gallon will result in increased demand and consequent price INCREASES.

- And then there are the environmental consequences.

Mrs. Clinton needs to stop insulting the American electorate.

End the drama; Elect Obama!!

When those roads continue to go down in mantenence, we will see an increase in accidents. We don't need any more bridges collapsing so that we can enjoy a half tank of gas, and then when that is over, we wind up paying more for the price surge.

No more gimmicks

Lots of us see it, but so many have their heads in the sand. The brains are blocked by something-or-other.

Thanks for your comments.

All the more reason we need to make person-to-person contact in these contests.
