This article has no section on the proposed gas tax holiday by the Democrats in 2006 Or the state gas tax holiday that Obama supported in Illinios when he was a state senator. Are you going to include this in this article or is their a reason not too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Senecal (talk • contribs) 05:02, 21 May 2008

Feel free, by all means, those sound most applicable here. Just ensure any content you add is verifiable, reliably sourced, and from a neutral point of view. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 18:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The second paragraph of the criticism section is very misleading. While I suppose he is not an economist by profession (rather an economics professor), it clearly indicates that support exists within academia somewhere for this proposal. It is also, of course, uncited. I suggest that it be deleted or editted to be less misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.4.31.213 (talk) 07:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The statement that claiming that the gas tax holiday is opposed by the "vast majority of economists" provides a source that does not back this claim. It merely provide examples of economists who oppose without any statistical data regarding its support. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.4.31.213 (talk) 08:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated for deletion

I nominated this article for deletion because of the lack of interest in making the article current and because of Wikipedia policy against news reports as articles (see WP:NOTNEWS). Thatoneguy89 (talk) 00:53, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
