What's Better for the Environment: Raising the Gas Tax or Fuel ...
[INFRASTRUCTURIST] Morris makes some strong points here ”” without even mentioning the fact that a gas tax increase, unlike higher fuel-economy standards, will also generate revenue for the Highway Trust Fund. (If anything, raising CAFE will hurt gas tax revenues, since fuel-efficient cars don’t have to be filled up as often.) The gas tax is also better for congestion, and consequently the accident rate, and we still get the benefit of a cleaner fleet over time, because high gas costs will create a demand for fuel-efficient cars.

I would value both at 25x trailing 12 month revenues, 20x FY11 revenues, and 15x FY12 revenues.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] I consider this whole Ames straw poll as a snoozer that nobody gives a flying flip about, except political junkies and media types, but I think it would be fun being there. Without seeing the results, I’m still predicting that the Ron Paul cult will prevail, while voters in 2012 yawn over the whole thing.
