Biden to call for 3-month suspension of gas and diesel taxes!!!!!!

That's fantastic, I'm staring to like the man more and more.

why does the administration think this will lower gas prices? and the tax is never "cents"... it's a percentage.

Because they're not American.
Hell, they're not even human.

Too f#%ing bad it’s only .18-25 cents!!!!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday will call on Congress to suspend federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months — a move meant to ease financial pressures at the pump that also reveals the political toxicity of high gas prices in an election year.

The Democratic president will also call on states to suspend their own gas taxes or provide similar relief, the White House said.

At issue is the 18.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on gas and the 24.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on diesel fuel. If the gas savings were fully passed along to consumers, people would save roughly 3.6% at the pump when prices are averaging about $5 a gallon nationwide.

But many economists and lawmakers from both parties view the idea of a gas tax holiday with skepticism.

Barack Obama, during the 2008 presidential campaign, called the idea a “gimmick” that allowed politicians to “say that they did something.” He also warned that oil companies could offset the tax relief by increasing their prices.

This is another FAKE remedy for the intentional energy crisis, like drawing oil from the national reserves and shipping it overseas. It will not have any effect at all.

When Trump took office, gas was averaging $1.70/gal. Right before the pandemic crashed the price, gas was just under $3/gal nationwide.

Trump's policies had nearly doubled gas prices before the pandemic. Gas was only $1.70 because of his predecessor, so why did gas nearly double under Trump?

You can't count the pandemic because that's not policy, it was a lucky godsend for Trump to claim credit. Gas would likely have hit $3.50/gal before Trump left office had the pandemic never hit.

Don't believe me? Google a few different average US gas prices monthly of 2018. They all state the same within about a 3% difference.

18 cents whoopie, now it will be 5.47 instead of 5.69

I'm rich
