Clinton/McCain's notion to suspend the gas tax is one of the dumbest ideas ever floated by presidential hopefuls.

Today the station down the block from my house is selling the stuff at $1.36/L which is equivalent to $5.14/gal. It's been hovering around that level for the past month. And is it having an effect? You better believe it. Many people are slowing down on the highways, and sales of compact cars are up -- way up.

But is it going to make businesses go under? Nope... but it will make people think long and hard before buying that 56" flatscreen plasma.
