And what about all the other tax and other proposals?

TB — 4/15/2008 9:26:59 PM (archived)

The news story mentioned quite a few. McCain's original speech can be found here.

I've just started plowing through this. There's a LOT to chew on here.

One point: I don't know where he's getting this Strategic Petroleum Reserve problem. To the best of my knowledge, it's pretty much full and hasn't been taking in more oil for about two years now.

        Sorry, your premise was "subsidy." - TB - 4/16/2008 3:41:11 PM
        
        An overstatement. Now, about that $30/barrel average. - Bowser - 4/16/2008 7:43:52 PM

        Absolutely correct. - Bowser - 4/16/2008 5:36:06 PM
      - For the record, I agree that this is just another stunt. Like the rebate checks. (n/t) - TB - 4/15/2008 9:07:29 PM
        
        Yep, I'm afraid so. This one is a bit more dangerous, maybe. (n/t) - Bowser - 4/15/2008 9:20:58 PM
