Just last week, congress was discussing a NEW 40 cent per gallon tax on gas for road construction, so much for 800 in "relief"
If they really wanted to help they would suspend the gas tax for 12 months then slowly schedule it back in. It would result in more money in everyones pocket, slow inflation and stimulate the economy.
I agree, suspending the gas tax would help also. In general, any decrease in taxes and letting the consumer decide how to spend their money is always infinitely better then letting government beaurocrats decide how to spend it.
