Some senators are pushing around the idea that the U.S. government should write out checks to every taxpayer for $100 as a kind of gasoline "rebate" while gas prices are so high.
This idea should be dropped immediately.
Where are they going to get the money to do this? And what happens the next time? Will they do it again? For that matter, why are they even considering using taxpayer money to fix an oil industry problem?
Now, if they were going to collect the money from the oil industry first, that would be different. But out and out using federal money? No way.
This is pure electioneering.
