Related to yesterdays post regarding the gas tax holiday, where I stated
Both Clinton and McCain have it wrong, I imagine they contacted their campaign advisors rather than their economic advisors before suggesting its repeal.
Apparently it’s at least in part true. Over here I found
John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who should know better, was the first presidential candidate to endorse the gas-tax holiday for the summer driving season. Reportedly, the idea originated with a political pollster, not among Mr. McCain’s economic advisers.
