President Biden Calls for a Three-Month suspension of the federal gasoline tax

Federal Gas Tax Holiday Right now, the federal government charges an 18 cent tax per gallon of gasoline and a 24 cent tax per gallon of diesel.

That's gonna save me about $25 per month.

Now, when Trump was president and gas was selling around $2 bucks per gallon, that would work out to $417 dollar savings. And, the savings were real and kept on going!

OK, a tax break is better than a sharp stick in the eye, but the Biden has already jabbed us with the sharp stick when he decided to shut down energy.

It’s like putting a band-aid on a broken arm for many people who are just barely surviving.

Three whole months.. it might save me a whopping ten dollars a month.. LMFAO.

@Onestarlitnight It’s a pittance compared to the increase in gas prices.

It's actually kind of insulting.. it's literally crumbs to the starving.. this administration is a bad joke

@Onestarlitnight Exactly that, it is insulting to us. Every time they pass a stimulus they fill their deep pockets with the bulk of the money. Always finds a way of circling back to them. They get the meat and we get the bones.
