Big Giverment, which does NOTHING makes more revenue in this regard than Big Oil, which (by stark contrast) provides a very necessary service. I generally like Cheney but it is most distressing.
I don't know about you, but just about all the roads I drive on are built by government of one size or another, and paid for with fuel taxes.
You don't think that's a "necessary service?"
What is Cheney doing? Isn’t he supposed to help get the Republican elected in 2008 and not publicly criticize his policies? Cheney should be criticizing the democrats and save comments like this for a private conversation with McCain.
I swear Republicans are like crabs in a barrel, always bringing each other down when one makes a little bit of progress.
What do you find distressing about what Cheney commented on here? It was a nail on the head remark about Mcclellan, and as far as suspending the gas tax he is right, it will be a small dent, and as you know there is no free lunch so a suspended tax now which will provide little actual relief, will cost us more down the road to higher and higher taxes.
