GAS TAX HOLIDAY: YEA OR NAY?

Senator John McCain has proposed, and Sen. Hillary Clinton has endorsed, a federal "gas tax holiday" this summer: An 18-cent-per-gallon reduction in the federal gasoline tax to run from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Which best describes your reaction to this?

* It's a great idea! I can use all the relief I can get at the pump this summer

* Fine, but only if the windfall profits tax is raised to compensate for the shortfall in federal highway funds

* It won't make any difference---the oil companies will charge whatever the market will bear

* No. It's a classic case of politicians pretending to solve a problem when they aren't really doing anything

* Who cares? I had to sell my Jeep because I couldn't afford to wheel it anymore
