Wonder when Pres. Bush will do the same for the much-higher federal gas tax? That would be much appreciated by everyone in the next 60 days. We could zero out FEMA to offset the cut.

This is a common misconception, perpetrated by left-winger's who have never read out US Constitution..

Only Congress can regulate Commerce, and only Congress can Levy Taxes or Revoke Taxes. The President (Executive Branch) and the Judicial Branch's of our goverment are completely powerless when it comes to removing taxes..

The Georgia Governor HAS the ability to suspend Gasoline Taxes because the Legislature gave him the authority to when they wrote the law that put the taxes on gasoline in the 1st place.. The US Congress, on the other hand, did not give anyone the power to suspend taxes except to themselves.
