You can be triple sure that the DC tribe is going to really, REALLY start beating the drum for higher gas tax, now.
They feel that there’s a brief window of opportunity now, and people are simply relieved oil has come off it’s high.
So they’re going to try to load the tax on now - “It has dropped so much, so doubling the tax doesn’t make it nearly as expensive as it was at the peak...”
They think all money belongs to Da Gummint.
Great post and a very interesting post/thread history we are living.
The DC Tribe can go to hell. That is all.
Any DC Tribesman who suggest increasing the gas tax should be tarred and feathered and tossed in the Potomac.
If DC had any sense, they’d just let people consume gasoline (etc.) as appropriate for the new pricing, consumption would jump, and the revenue shortfall would fix itself.
