Interesting commentary on CNN about why the gas tax doesn’t make sense and why it won’t pass.
Pay particular attention to the projected savings to taxpayers. I had not previously heard the totals (other than from Obama) and it really is nearly inconsequential. The savings for the entire summer per family is estimated to be between $28 and $70.

Are you in support of a gas tax holiday?
Alaska’s Gull Island Oil Fields Could Power U.S. for 200 Years
By Mark Anderson
“Crude oil is the real ‘currency’ of the world,” said Lindsey Williams at a gathering of the Midwest Concerned Citizens group in Kansas City on July 22. But Americans will never hear about huge oil and gas reserves in the United States, which, if ever tapped, would bring today’s fuel prices at least as low as $1.50 per gallon and make America more energy independent.
As a Baptist missionary in the 1970s, Williams said he rubbed elbows with members of the world’s power elite—who boasted of detailed 30-year and 50-year plans to control the flow of oil and information.
A huge quantity of crude oil and natural gas exists under Gull Island, located in the waters of Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, says Williams. He cited key British Petroleum memoranda and related the statements of upper echelon oil officials who told him that Gull Island would be kept under wraps, limiting domestic supplies so Americans would someday see prices hit up to $10 a gallon at the pump.
“Every issue in the world today relates to crude oil,” said Williams. The U.S. occupation of Iraq and the saber rattling about attacking Iran fit into the crude oil matrix.
Iran is being targeted because it’s one of several countries that want to use their own currencies for oil sales, rather than using the U.S. dollar. Williams told AFP that any country that doesn’t want to “play ball” with the U.S. government and the financial and oil interests is, in essence, put on a hit list.
The United States, he said, learned that Iran intended to form its own bourse and not use the dollar for oil sales. Therefore, the notion that Iran is a menacing “almost-nuclear” country was trumped up, presented as fact via the corporate media and Iran is now in the crosshairs.
Other nations wanting more independence from U.S. meddling include Norway, Venezuela, Nigeria, Bolivia, Sweden and Russia.
The 30-year plan, which was first proposed three decades ago and is nearing fruition, included smug assurances from oil officials that the United States will triple its crude-oil usage and alternative fuels will not be allowed to gain enough ground to make a difference. They also noted that all foreign oil production will be scaled back to the United States and that Americans soon will pay $4 to $5 a gallon at the pump and could pay as much as $7 to $10 down the road.
In the early 1960s crude oil was selected as a tool of world control, Williams said, adding, “What we pay at the gas pump is a form of taxation.” The American consumer’s dependence on crude oil thus far has enabled people from foreign oil-producing nations to buy T-bills (U.S. treasury notes) in order to support the U.S. national debt and continued deficit spending. The need to support that debt puts the U.S. government in a bind, forcing Americans to remain dependent on foreign oil.
Williams, as a chaplain in 1970 when the trans-Alaskan oil pipeline was finished, ministered among the pipeline workers. However, as time passed he made a favorable impression with the top brass and was asked to improve worker-company relations. Next thing he knew, he said he was sitting at meetings of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and various meetings of oil executives over a three-year period.
He told AFP that the IMF-World Bank acts as a middleman between oil producing nations and refineries. In so doing, they set oil prices, he said.
The big event in that three-year period was in 1977 when an Atlantic Richfield oil executive told him, “We have just drilled into the largest pool of oil in North America—[and] in the world!”
That pool was Gull Island. It was said that there was enough natural gas to supply America for 200 years. But to this day, “not one drop” of that oil has been released to American refineries, Williams said.
Williams said the executive had warned him that the Gull Island find was highly classified. Do not repeat any of this, he was told. Obviously, that warning did not stop him.

The big event in that three-year period was in 1977 when an Atlantic Richfield oil executive told him, “We have just drilled into the largest pool of oil in North America—[and] in the world!”
That pool was Gull Island. It was said that there was enough natural gas to supply America for 200 years. But to this day, “not one drop” of that oil has been released to American refineries, Williams said.
Williams said the executive had warned him that the Gull Island find was highly classified. Do not repeat any of this, he was told. Obviously, that warning did not stop him.

Alaska’s Gull Island Oil Fields Could Power U.S. for 200 Years
By Mark Anderson
“Crude oil is the real ‘currency’ of the world,” said Lindsey Williams at a gathering of the Midwest Concerned Citizens group in Kansas City on July 22. But Americans will never hear about huge oil and gas reserves in the United States, which, if ever tapped, would bring today’s fuel prices at least as low as $1.50 per gallon and make America more energy independent.
As a Baptist missionary in the 1970s, Williams said he rubbed elbows with members of the world’s power elite—who boasted of detailed 30-year and 50-year plans to control the flow of oil and information.
A huge quantity of crude oil and natural gas exists under Gull Island, located in the waters of Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, says Williams. He cited key British Petroleum memoranda and related the statements of upper echelon oil officials who told him that Gull Island would be kept under wraps, limiting domestic supplies so Americans would someday see prices hit up to $10 a gallon at the pump.
“Every issue in the world today relates to crude oil,” said Williams. The U.S. occupation of Iraq and the saber rattling about attacking Iran fit into the crude oil matrix.
Iran is being targeted because it’s one of several countries that want to use their own currencies for oil sales, rather than using the U.S. dollar. Williams told AFP that any country that doesn’t want to “play ball” with the U.S. government and the financial and oil interests is, in essence, put on a hit list.
The United States, he said, learned that Iran intended to form its own bourse and not use the dollar for oil sales. Therefore, the notion that Iran is a menacing “almost-nuclear” country was trumped up, presented as fact via the corporate media and Iran is now in the crosshairs.
Other nations wanting more independence from U.S. meddling include Norway, Venezuela, Nigeria, Bolivia, Sweden and Russia.
The 30-year plan, which was first proposed three decades ago and is nearing fruition, included smug assurances from oil officials that the United States will triple its crude-oil usage and alternative fuels will not be allowed to gain enough ground to make a difference. They also noted that all foreign oil production will be scaled back to the United States and that Americans soon will pay $4 to $5 a gallon at the pump and could pay as much as $7 to $10 down the road.
In the early 1960s crude oil was selected as a tool of world control, Williams said, adding, “What we pay at the gas pump is a form of taxation.” The American consumer’s dependence on crude oil thus far has enabled people from foreign oil-producing nations to buy T-bills (U.S. treasury notes) in order to support the U.S. national debt and continued deficit spending. The need to support that debt puts the U.S. government in a bind, forcing Americans to remain dependent on foreign oil.
Williams, as a chaplain in 1970 when the trans-Alaskan oil pipeline was finished, ministered among the pipeline workers. However, as time passed he made a favorable impression with the top brass and was asked to improve worker-company relations. Next thing he knew, he said he was sitting at meetings of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and various meetings of oil executives over a three-year period.

I actually support a gas tax elimination. Forget the holiday.
For all of the blustering that politicians (largely Democrats) do about the oil companies and their profits, Congress has benefited far more. Since the implementation of the federal gas tax, the US government has raked in nearly $1.34 trillion in revenues. That’s nearly double what the oil companies have made in profits over the same period.
Neither Clinton nor McCain want to deal with the publics’ misconception that gas is so high because of government taxing. This holiday would clear that problem right up. lol That doesn’t mean I support it, but I understand why the candidates might. (Speculation, of course, but this is the only logical explanation in my mind.)
Folks, the bottom line is the gas tax funds road and infrastructure projects. Cut off the funds, projects will stop and the results will be apparent soon. Lay-offs of construction workers and road engineers, no need for new equipment, lay-offs in these industries, and the spiralling effect it brings. And you think infrastructure is an issue now!
A “tax holiday” or “summer recess” of the Federal gas tax will not benefit anyone but the politicians. And the oil companies will quickly replace the tax with an increase to swell their profits.
If the Gull Island story is truthful, then I suggest two items. First regardless of the company(ies) that own the rights, it is US oil. None of it should ever be allowed to be shipped overseas, regardless friend or foe. The federal government should insure that supply is used entirely for US consumption. No “free-market” for a commodity that is driving our economy down, and engaging the US to camaflouge a war for profit, costing us a generation of talent and treasury.
Secondly, embark on making this country independent of oil for energy needs of any kind. Use Gull Island to tie us over, until the research can be done and production is on-line. Reduce the carbon footprint at the same time.
Global markets are more entangling than foreign policy treaties. Ask a generation of working Americans, not the politicians and their corporate friends. Greed has come out of the shadows big time in ruling the corporate and political world.
We need to RAISE the gas tax, not lower it! Clinton and McCain are idiots being told by their ignorant political posse to push a meaningless short term fix in order to buy votes. We need to reduce demand and change our country, not continue to put our head in the sand and ignore any long term consequences. Read Obama’s comments on this issue carefully – this is the guy we need in office!
If the oil companies are smart (and I am inclined to think so), they would do everything they could to reduce the cost of gasoline while the taxes were lifted. That would help shift the public perception that they are the ones causing the price of gas to be so high to the government. Foregoing the additional potential profits would probably be worth it, especially when some parties (like Mr. Obama) are calling for a windfall profits tax and demonstrate their lack of understanding of business.*
As for the suggestion that the roads and infrastructure would suffer, I understand this Congress is operating on a revenue neutral basis. Unless they change that policy, either the proposal must include cutting spending or raising revenue somewhere else. I struggle to believe that they would try to take this out of the roads and infrastructure budget for the reasons stated- they are trying to win a popularity contest after all. However, if they raise taxes in some other area (especially a new tax), then this proposal could become really sneaky way to increase taxes. They raise the taxes elsewhere and when the summer ends, the gasoline taxes are back on, and presto, we have more taxation at the end of the year than at present.
Btw, why should the government fund research and development of alternative energy sources? If they truly are alternatives, then they will be cost efficient without subsidies. So why attempt to develop them with those things and then expect them to stand unaided later?
*Note – One of my accounting professors (I’m seeking a graduate degree in accounting) made a very interesting point about the record profits that were reported when there was a gas shortage in the 1970’s. Many of the oil companies use LIFO inventory, which helps to match present costs of inventory with present sales of inventory by assuming the most recent sale of inventory was of the most recently added unit of inventory. The time this method of accounting becomes troublesome is when the company starts to invade their reserves to reduce the impact of rising prices for replenishment inventory. At that point, the cost associated with those sales drop as the older inventory costs are used with the present sales price, inflating the gross profit amount. This leads to increased net reported profits and increased taxes. But the company still has to buy the next unit of inventory of gas at the same market price as the last unit, but now they have an increased tax burden. So the company may actually lose ground while reporting record profits because the tax burden combined with the higher purchase price of new supply may actually lead to less operating cash. This would be accelerated by a windfall profits tax. Solution for the oil companies is to 1) increase prices to consumers and 2) decrease capital investments to free up cash flows. That leads to less improvements in production and capacity and then the price of gasoline takes even longer to stabilize or come down.
So who wins in this situation? The government gets more money, the company records larger profits but has less free cash to distribute to shareholders, employees, etc. and the consumers pay more. That’s right, the government, at the ultimate expense of the consumers, shareholders, and employees. I see why Mr. Obama likes the proposal if he’s a tax and spend politician. Or, to give him the benefit of the doubt, if he’s a fair-minded politician that operates based on a surface knowledge of matters rather than obtaining and understanding of the actual situation. Neither explanation is very attractive. If only a better alternative had made it through the primaries…..
> The savings…is estimated to be $28 – $70.
$70 isn’t a lot of money to you?
For me it is:
dinner out with my wife
trip to the vet for the dogs
enough gas to visit my in-laws
a 60 min massage for Mother’s Day(with tip)
2+ months of dog food
I have run the numbers.
It will be more than $70 to me… you see some of us have to commute because we can’t afford to live inside the beltline; our transit system is so bad that it would take a drive plus over two hours each way to take the bus to work and cost half as much as the gas for a 35 min car trip (Raleigh NC).
Obama can say whatever he wants; he won’t be the candidate and he knows it.
Sure he has more votes than Clinton, but the super-deligates were put in place because the public is to stupid to pick their own candidate (done in response to McGovern I do believe).
Do the Republicans think their voters are too stupid as well? (PS I’m not a Republican)
The US Government has put a 30 year halt to drilling and using domestic oil and natural gas. This is the problem, Government, not the profits the oil companies make. The oil companies operate at a 10% profit margin which is less than even the banking industry.
If you good folks are looking for a REAL candidate for president look no further than Dr. Ron Paul. Not only does he tell the truth, but he will give America back to Americans and shrink Government!!!!
Congressman Ron Paul
“If we stuck to the Constitution as written, we would have: no federal meddling in our schools; no Federal Reserve; no U.S. membership in the UN; no gun control; and no foreign aid. We would have no welfare for big corporations, or the poor; no American troops in 100 foreign countries; no NAFTA, GAT, or fast-track; no arrogant federal judges usurping states rights; no attacks on private property; no income tax. We could get rid of most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited.”
Aaron Russo: “Is there a law that requires people to file a 1040?”
Congressman Ron Paul: “Not explicitly, but it’s certainly implied.”
Aaron Russo: “Well implied by force; but is there a law?”
Congressman Ron Paul: “I cannot cite a law, no, I cannot….you know if they think it’s a law and they have all the guns; you know it’s an authoritarian approach.” {Taken from the movie “America: Freedom to Fascism”}
