A proposal by Senate Republicans to send Americans a one-time, $100 gas-tax rebate is an insult to taxpayers struggling with high fuel prices, the House of Representative’s number-two Republican said Tuesday. “Trying to satisfy voters with a $100 rebate is insulting,” House Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio told reporters. Boehner said he had discussed the proposal with constituents. “They thought it was stupid,” Boehner said.

That would be about 3-4 tanks of gas in my car, considering that fuel prices always increase in the summer. And nothing was said about increasing heating costs over the winter?
Boehner (pronounced BO-NER) gets one right!
it IS insulting and it IS stupid.
Too bad the news came from Representative Erect Penis.
Another ?: What about people whose incomes are so low that they do not have to file taxes?
Nothing was said to address that!
