Republicans want to save my vacation

Thank goodness the Republican’s care enough about our family of five to dream up the crackpot idea of a $100 rebate to help “ease the burden” on my family due to high gasoline prices.

We have been saving to take a vacation to Jackson Hole or, if we are really crazy, St. George, Utah this summer. This $100 rebate may help us get as far as Portland before we have to turn around. I propose the oil companies, who have been raking in record profits, kick in $1000 per family. That might get me all the way to Utah this summer.

The good news is the following oil company CEOs will be able to afford a vacation anywhere they chose. The number for Exxon below is not a typo.

Chevron’s CEO: $37 million
Conoco Phillips’ CEO: $17 million
Exxon’s CEO: $400 million
