"Let's cut income taxes by 10 percent and finance it with a 50-cent-per-gallon hike in the gasoline tax … Cutting income taxes while increasing gasoline taxes would lead to more rapid economic growth, less traffic congestion, safer roads, and reduced risk of global warming -- all without jeopardizing long-term fiscal solvency. This may be the closest thing to a free lunch that economics has to offer."

John Kerry? Nope, Bush economic advisor Gregory Mankiw.

Guess wacky is who wacky hires...
