During the heydays of the old Soviet Union, to keep the people from complaining too loudly, the Soviet Politburo would raise the allowance on the amount of food the Russian people were allowed to buy. Instead of one loaf of bread; you could buy two. Instead of a can of soup; you could get three.
In the days before the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette, on being told that the French people were starving, was overheard as saying, “let them eat cake”.
Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator John McCain, upon hearing that the gas crisis was putting a hurting on the wallets of the average American citizen and their ability to buy enough food for their household have decided to throw the public, that proverbial dog, a bone by proposing to suspend the gas tax over the summer months … or basically give us all 30 dollars; or a half a tank of gas.
A half of tank of gas … on which, Senator Clinton thinks we should drive to our nearest bar and drink our sorrows away while Republicans John McCain and George Bush want us to ‘just travel and spend money’.
Thanks for the bone; for all that it is worth … a half of tank of gas which many burn in one to two days of travel back and forth to work.
It’s time for an economic plan that makes sense for Clinton and McCain’s plan is so faulty that economists disagree with it and favor Senator Obama’s plan.
It’s time to stop talking turkey when it comes to looking for alternative fuel sources and to start weaning the United States off of foreign oil.
It’s time for change.
It’s time for Barack Obama. Please see his latest video ad and his opinion on Hillary and John’s “bone” to the public.
