Such a farce. And when the tax gets added back in there will be protests for violating the constitutional right to lower tax gas. šŸ˜–

I suspect they want to highlight to the people that most of the gasoline price is tied to Big Oil, so yell at them for your high gas prices.

And the federal gas tax is just 18.4 cents.

Don't say that too loud.

Next thing you know it will be $1.18.

Another little issue with Jopedoā€™s EV obsession.
What's going to replace all the infrastructure money that supposed to come from the motor fuel tax?
Roads and bridges just gonna be OK with EVs going over them all day?

Fine. Then it pops right back up in 3 months just in time for the mid-terms, putting Dems right back on the hot seat.

Gas was only 19 cents a gallon on sale in the old days (29 cents normally). And they gave you free dishes and savings stamps. And they put the gas in your car, cleaned your windows, checked your water, oil, transmission fluid, fan belts, hoses, and tires.

Thatā€™s why they were called service stations.

A temporary tax holiday is, well, temporary. It just kicks the can down the road and requires payment later with more worthless dollars. I donā€™t think there should be a gas tax, ever. But the time to eliminate gas taxes is when the entire tax code is reformed and after gas prices have returned where the should be. Imagine Trump as President with MAGA congress. The economy is returned to normal, literally seven years from now. Gas prices are at $1.89 and then the gas tax is eliminated. That would be incredible.

A suspension of a tax is a good thing. Just as an 18 cent raise pushes inflation and impoverishes us all, so a decline will help us.

Make it permanent.
