The idea of suspending the gas tax is completely ridicous. If anything, we should be investing further monies into our transportation infrastructure; specifically our lack luster, out-dated mass transit systems. Technological innovations and high gas prices in other countries have made mass transit an attractive option; the same must occur here. In case anyone hasn’t notice, numerous states, including PA are debating whether or not to sell the public’s transportation assests to private, often times foreign investors. This is one area, regardless of your location on political spectrum, where everyone can agree that the government must take an active role. Transportation infrastructure is the life blood of commerces. Lets put out of work contractors back to work to rebuild this critical network. McCain’s proposal to cut transportation revenues is either a political ploy, or a clear example of his inability to comprehend America’s problems.

Couple this with his idea that the market will solve America’s heath care system woes, and it appears Sen. McCain has absolutely no answers for America.
