| 1) Wyoming Senator John Barrasso has introduced legislation that would stop adding oil to the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve, unless gas prices dropped below $2.50 a gallon. He believes taking that oil off the market pushes up gas prices, but opponents say the Reserve is needed for national emergencies. What do you think? |
2) Senators McCain and Clinton want to stop collecting the federal gas tax over the summer to help lower gas prices. Senator Obama says the savings will not amount to much, and there are no guarantees that prices will not rise anyway. Obama is also concerned about the loss of revenue used to repair and maintain highways. Should gas tax collections be stopped for the summer? |
