A US GasTax Holiday is a BAD, BAD, BAD idea!

Lensmaster beeobrien says A US GasTax Holiday is a BAD, BAD, BAD idea! and I agree. Suspension of the federal gasoline tax is just a band-aid for families that rely on their cars to go back and forth to work. It also encourages people to use more gas for vacations and non-essential travel. The government needs to develop cars that use less gas, reward people for car pooling, provide cities with incentives to build bike paths, invent new ways to travel so that we can save our planet.

There are many in the tourism and recreation business that would say that discouraging people from taking vacations could really hurt them. Entire towns depend on travelers for their livelihood. Vacationing is vital to many areas. What we need to do is find a way to do this wiser.
