What if they cut gasoline taxes by 50%? It’s not helping that fuel prices are higher at the same time we’re having a slowdown. The only problem with that is they would cut the taxes, and then later reinstitute them.

Hey why not, it's funny money anyway. They could subsidize the fuel price.

On a serious note, I have suggested a few times around here that the Fed ought to create a seperate federal funds rate for home loans. Take it low for awhile to help people keep their homes.

Didn't you see the story yesterday where it was recommended they raise gas taxes by about that same amount? There's no way anyway is going to truly come out net net ahead on this crazy stuff, but you will be told that you are.
