| 78. You mean her "plan"... |
|
to replace the funds removed by the 18 cent tax holiday with funds from a windfall tax on oil company profits that she has already said will be used for something else?
Isn't this what got her campaign in trouble, bad fiscal sense!
You want to bribe me 18.5 cents ain't a gonna do it!
