ALL taxes on gas should be eliminated until the economy gets better. The government got us into this situation - and THE PEOPLE will have to work to get us out!
No one is calling for eliminating the taxes at all. Just a short "holiday."

And why, oh why, can't anyone find a single economist who says it will benefit the country in any significant way? Because it won't. It's pandering--a simplistic, temporary band-aid so that people can feel like "something" is being done.
