Exactly... this "tax holiday" was the worst kind of political pandering and you know what makes me EXTREMELY PROUD of my country because they saw through Clinton's "trick" and realized that we need a LONG TERM SOLUTION.
You know everyone gives Jimmy Carter shit as being this terrible president, but when he entered the Whitehouse, one of the first things he did was to install solar panels on the roof of the home of the president. This was a great example for the rest of the country to begin to push for alternative energies.
When Reagan took office one the first things on his agenda was to rip the solar panels OFF of the Whitehouse roof.
The rest of the world laughs at us as "fat", "lazy", "uneducated" and "naive" idiots who love their big cars and their big military.
The countries have been dealing with the fuel issues for decades, now we are COMPLETELY FUCKED and are the closest to another Great Depression than any other time since that those hard days.
We have Reagan, George I and George II to thank for our current position and guess what their politics are...?
Your party has ruined this country and it will take decades of Progressive control, both in the Whitehouse and in the Congress to turn this country around.
