Actually, I don't think he's being so smart. He's right, it's not much help, but to a really struggling family, a 25 cent savings on a gallon of gas is some help.
Let's reverse it and say it goes up 25 cents. His argument is that it isn't that much. It'll only cost you 30 bucks over the summer.
Actually, doesn't the amount it costs or saves depend upon how much driving you do?
What's dishonest, to my mind, is the concept that the federal government, under any president, can do anything about the price of gas.
I'm open for anyone here to give me an idea of what the federal government can do to bring the price of gas down.
