New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman slammed the plan offered by presidential candidates Sens. John McCain and Hillary Clinton to fight high gas prices by suspending the federal gasoline tax for a few months, calling it “so ridiculous, so unworthy of the people aspiring to lead our nation, it takes your breath away.”
The political pandering, he said, will only increase our debt to China and continue a transfer of wealth to Saudi Arabia. “This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering.”
