Clinton Joins McCain on Gas-Tax Holiday; Obama Opposes
Policy differences between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been far and few, but a new one emerged on Monday over a proposed gas tax holiday. Obama says he??s against while Clinton says she??s in favor, putting her on the same side as John McCain, who proposed such a holiday last week.
Gas prices could hit $4 this summer, raising the ire of voters and putting pressure on presidential candidates to promise immediate action.
Speaking on Larry King Live on Monday night, Clinton outlined a series of steps to address the issue at the beginning of the show, reflecting the growing importance of pocketbook concerns among voters. ??I would also consider a gas tax holiday, if we could make up the lost revenues from the Highway Trust Fund,? she said, without specifying how to make up those lost revenues.
Earlier Monday at a community college in the Philadelphia suburbs, Obama rejected a tax holiday as bad economic policy. ??I??ve said I think John McCain??s proposal for a three-month tax holiday is a bad idea,? Obama said, warning consumers that any price cut would be short lived before costs spike back.
