Senator McCain has called for a "gas tax holiday", suspending the 18.4 cents per gallon tax on gasoline and 24.3 cents per gallon on diesel fuel. The proposal has drawn criticism from economists who state that to make up the loss in tax revenue, money will have to be drawn from the general Treasury Fund, increasing the deficit.<ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080719/ap_on_go_co/gas_tax_highways;_ylt=Aij5y1iklCwhixZv_VMTgwms0NUE Dream of gas tax holiday faltered over job losses]</ref> In addition, the loss of revenue would come at a time when the Highway Trust Fund is having trouble keeping up with the massive investment in infrastructure that is required for upkeep on roads and bridges.
