Geez. If someone could just figure out another way to lower petro prices. I wonder what that could be? So, when this proposal expires in 2023 I guess folks would be more likely to afford the re-imposed taxes? NOT! The prices will still rise and then we'll get smacked with adding back the fed tax on top. But hey, if it helps them get reSelected.............. Kinda like the govs dropping mask mandates. I see my two useless senators jumped right on this. Grrrrrrrr! Then again, I knew they would never represent me so no shock.

It’s illegal to buy votes, but you can do stuff like this. Spit!

What the Republicans WILL SAY in response:

“Duh, good idea, save people money in these tough times. Wish we thought of it.”

What the Republicans SHOULD SAY in response (if they played by Democrat rules):

“The Democrats WANT TO KILL PEOPLE on collapsed bridges, due to gutting the funding to repair our highways and bridges.”

" to continue to think creatively about how we can find new ways to bring down costs, undo the damage that this administration has inflicted, and this bill would do exactly that, "

There. Fixed that.

The Democrats are the ones who implement taxes like these and then when the time is right for them, they suspend them. This is typical: Government creates the problem and then offers the solution.

The colonists, though, opposed the tax on a matter of principle, not financial cost, so they refused to comply.

We need to take a look at the history of the tea party.

LOL! Obvious pandering. Are any voters stupid enough to think prices won’t go right back up as soon as these two are back in office?

Rising prices are the obvious consequence when you do all you can to crush the energy industry.

The thing that Hassan is concerned about is not just gasoline/diesel prices.
Here in NH there are still a large percentage of people(like ME) that use heating oil to fire their home furnace. Heating oil tends to mirror the price of diesel. It is basically the same thing without the colored dye in it.

There is very little natural gas available in NH. There are only a couple pipelines that primarily serve the cities.
So, out in the country your choice is either heating oil or propane. In addition I have a Harman pellet stove insert I installed 9 years ago. Many people have wood stoves and even wood furnaces.

$3.70/gal in PA. I remember it was less than half that when Trump was president.

End the Federal and STATE gas taxes. Open up areas to fracking. Start drilling again where it has been stopped due to government restrictions.

Amazing, one stupid move leads to the next. All they had to do about energy was leave it alone.

WTI oil just went above $91 a barrel.

“Real Senators of Genius”

Here’s to you, pandering Democrat senators who stood idly by as Obama (oops, I meant Biden) halted meaningful oil production in this country. Now you want to reach into your bag of handouts to the people in order to get yourself re-elected.

You’re leaving in November, True Senators of Genius.

We know who you are and we see what you’re doing.

Thats almost as disingenuous as Robert Francis O’Rouke saying he wants to protect the 2nd amendment.

Democrats are going to use a new line of bait for the next two elections.

“Democrats up for reelection propose suspending federal gas tax through end of 2022”

Are they also proposing suspending federal spending funded by the gas tax, or just proposing increasing federal borrowing and deficits that help fuel inflation, which helps increase fuel prices????

Behind EVERY Dim “good intention” is economic stupidity and perverse consequences.
