In reply to the discussion: Biden calls for three-month federal gas tax "holiday" [View all]sybylla
(8,510 posts)12. OMG. NO. Terrible idea.
As if $.18 per gallon is going to make difference. Then once it kicks back in and prices rise by $.18 or more, everyone will be pointing fingers at Biden/Dems just in time for election day.
Also, we need those dollars for infrastructure. WTH?
This should only happen as a trade for a Windfall Profit Tax on gas and utility companies.
