Short sighted idea: cut the gas tax

Here's an idea, cut the gas tax to help out consumers. Just what we need to do...stimulate demand for a commodity in short supply (that happens to e incredibly poisonous to the Earth.) Oh, and simultaneously deprive the agencies that build our roads and upkeep our infrastructure of much-needed funding (anyone remember a few recent bridge-collapses? Hmmm.) How about we time it when the fattest, meanest, dirtiest companies in that industry are also among the most profitable in the world?

Great idea!
