"But there are some questionable ideas being floated on both sides of the aisle. For example, both the GOP proposal to mail a $100 rebate check to each taxpayer (tied to ANWR drilling) and the Democrats' call for a 60-day suspension of the federal gasoline tax and diesel tax sound costly to implement. And Bush's decision to stop filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve finds him guilty of flip-flopping (he'd criticized both John Kerry and the Clinton administration for that position), and with an action that experts say won't have much impact on supply."
