NO — No Band Aid will fix this !!

Problem is not gas tax. Private enterprise was run over on Jan 21st, 2021.

There is no need for gas taxes for the highway fund, since after they shut down the refineries there won’t be asphalt to pave highways with.

No way. 81 million voters are getting what they asked for. Robbing the highway trust fund no matter how mismanaged it may be is not a market solution. Nope. 81 million get what they asked for, good and hard too.

Cancel Congress instead. That would save us $trillions.

The Democrats are NEVER going to give up a tax. They use the power of taxation as a weapon to destroy the American economy and what better time for them to attack our economy than right now?

Biden’s handlers inflict pain on the country. The Democrat Media laughs like it is funny.

Gas dropped a whopping 10 cents last night, so I’m guessing the low,info masses feel as though this was a gift to,them personally from Biden, and will fall at his feet in stunned appreciation

The lame stream media will be playing up,the drop as some sort of brilliant move on bidens part.

Let’s see, Democrats responsible for $2-$3 per gallon increase in gas prices. Now, Democrats want to reduce that by $0.18 and claim to be heroes. Sadly, the press would support that, saying it shows how much they “care”, and many dummies would believe them.

In an internet world I have come to only one conclusion as to why congress meets in a single structure in Washington DC. That's so the bagmen have a safe place to hand over the loot.

My Mom was one of those that had to go to the committee chair of the EPA every year to renew permits to make chemical additives. It was the only way to get applications out of committee. And now you know why being appointed to committees is the brass ring in congress.

That was in the late 70's and 80's. I can just imagine how bad it is now?

Critics of the proposals say there is no guarantee the savings would get passed on to consumers and worry that suspending gas taxes could hurt funding for road projects.

Well, they could just let US and Canada make gas to lower the price.

Besides, when is there ever a guarantee that reduced costs end up passed on to consumers. ==strawman==

The way the roads look in my state, do we even have a road fund?

Wait until tankers of gasoline get hijacked. It’s gonna happen by Sunday night. Hood rats are always adapting their revenue streams. There is a glut right now on stolen consumer goods from rail cars. One score on a 20,000 gallon fuel truck fetches what? $60K at a 50% off price....Better than stealing catalytic converters and flat screen televisions at a hundred a pop. Still gotta steal Nike shoes from railcars though.

The thing that needs to be suspended is Biden.

Agreed, particularly the white college educated women who overwhelmingly voted Brandon.

SMDH! Fookin’ idjits! But for some voters, it will be good enough. For filling up my truck, I might save around $4 per fill. Booze is cheaper in some cases.
