Suspending the gas tax is a great idea!  Why, the best way to deal with our gigantic demand for oil is to increase demand for it!

That wouldn't increase demand.  It'd lower cost.

Same thing. Believe or not, people decrease consumption when prices go up--and would revert to higher consumption if prices went down.

It RESULTS in the same thing, but it's not the same thing.  Ask any economist or businessman.
