So Hillary Clinton has joined John McCain in his call for a "holiday" in the federal gasoline tax. Of course we're all sick of high gas prices. But at least Barack Obama has the brains and courage to see that this is a very bad idea. The Federal Highway Trust Fund is already going broke. To cut off all incoming revenue would curtain highway maintenance. Thousands of good paying jobs could be lost. Does this make sense in the face of a growing recession?

Of course not. Democrats usually support creating jobs like these at times of economic downturn -- not eliminating them.

Why doesn't Hillary Clinton get it?
