    Tax cuts are a short term solution. Whenever the price jumps, conservatives are quick to point out to the cost of the gas tax. Well the gas tax didn’t jump up, so that is clearly not what cause the jump.

    Yes, lowering the gas tax would reduce the price. Until the next jump, then youre back at square one.

      Yeah, it’s a parachute, not a concrete floor. It’ll slow things down, it won’t stop the price spiral.
