Stimulus checks for gas? Some lawmakers are pushing for it.

Americans already faced searing inflation when gas prices surged to an all-time high earlier this month. Now, some lawmakers want the federal government to offer stimulus payments or rebate checks to help reduce the pain at the pump.

Families with two children could get as much $300 per month as long as the nation's average gas price exceeds $4 a gallon, according to one new bill proposed by Reps. Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut and Lauren Underwood of Illinois. All three lawmakers are Democrats

You have got to be kidding me

There is nothing Government can’t “fix”.

[BenLurkin]

Because there isn’t enough inflation yet. Need to heat it up more.

[Cobra64]

Typical, “I’m from the government. I’m here to help.”

Bureaucratic BS. Reduce the gasoline TAX…. Morons.

Might as well just make a bunch of black and white, two sided copies of $20 bills on the machine at work, in a couple months they’ll have more value than real money.

Student loans worked so well keeping tuition in line with inflation, so why not gas too?

*pulling head out of ass, leftist brain begins to starve for nourishment*

Wait a sec......

There is nothing Government can’t “fix” ... with OUR money.

[Ben Dover]

Illegals will get an unlimited free gas card.

Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah - Covid. Government creates the crisis, wreaks havoc on the economy with stupid policies, and then comes to our “rescue” with stimulus checks.

Another welfare queen scam I see.

Bureaucratic BS. Reduce the gasoline TAX…. Morons.

But that would help everyone who buys gas instantly. The dems’ proposal only helps a targeted group, families with two children, (and no doubt an income limit) and will require the bureaucracy to determine eligibility and a mechanism to send out the checks. Much more efficient.

When I presume this is only for people with cars in active drivers licenses?

[beethovenfan]

Why not just SOLVE THE PROBLEM ???

[MNJohnnie]

Inflation: Too many dollars chasing too few goods

US Government: So to fix the inflation we manufactured with bad policies, lets spend more to fix it!

Literally a infantile insane response by the Democrats.

[joethedrummer]

Washington DC is FULL of retarded children - running our government.

This is beyond idiotic.

Just start pumping and drilling here. Rollback the stupid government policies of the administration.

Oh my god ...

So much regarding inflation would be resolved if we put our own energy security first!

[Republican Wildcat]

I thought we didn’t want people buying gas - hence why we shouldn’t drill for our own oil and gas.

Another example of their arguments contradicting themselves.
