WASHINGTON -- President Biden will on Wednesday call on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for three months and ask states to suspend their own gas taxes or provide commensurate relief to consumers, according to the White House.
Asked if Biden believes Congress can somehow mandate that oil companies pass on those savings, in full, to consumers, a senior administration official did not directly say, but noted there is"some evidence that state tax suspensions, in particular, do get passed through to consumers." The administration is also putting public pressure on oil companies to help Americans at a time of financial need.
Can he recall some 33+ billion dollars to help his own country. The amount was exorbitant and we could have still helped Ukraine. Make it make sense. Political officials should be forced to take a pay cut to help the people. Who suffers? The poor and the middle class.
About time!
What happened to the $400 gas relief 🤔
This some bullsh*t
About time
Open the pipe line back up. Common sense for us to be self reliant.
Gas tax will fix the bumpy/deep holes roads
Just lower the prices… that’s all
Oh WooHoo my KIA costs 85.00 to fill upin CA at a cheap gas station. So a rebate of $2.35, LOL, is someone that foolish to even think the energy and time to track this makes sense? What a JOKE!!
Just adding to inflation. Good going.. why don't you throw that pen away.
A great union will not let their own people suffer. What a failed country.
apparently Congress is rejecting Biden's request. Something must be done now
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What blows my mind is that no one regulates the oil companies lol. Not even the government 🤔
Hurray
If this man (that’s a lot of credit) wanted to fix his mistake he’d increase taxes on gas and use the money to expedite construction of the keystone pipeline he cancelled when he took office. Everything this guy does is wrong.
F👿😈🤦🏾♂️ the USA
There is no oil gas shortage only white collar grid profit take from the poor give to the rich Robin Hood crime there is no shame in their pocket what comes around goes around karma is a b****
And watch for the taxes to be increased later.
That'll be a big .50¢
Where is the money Newsom told us he gives us? Oh wait, he's gonna give it when it's closer to voting for him.
Be about it and stop talkin about it
Awesome! Come on Congress and States!:
Meanwhile in CA. Raise the gas tax!
The Democrats need SOMETHING to say in the 2024 debates to claim they lowered gas prices. LOL
Maybe lower the gas prices altogether! This is absolutely ridiculous when we have other means to get gas. Stop blaming the ukraine war! Bologna!!!!
Even BarackObama calls out his dude by saying the gas tax holiday is a 'gimmick'. On average, you will save about $10 a month. What does that do now that everything else costs more because of POTUS ?!
That will only hurt the economy more than it would help it
It’s a gimmick! Let’s talk about root causes for high gas prices
This is a joke
Only 3 months how about forever
.18 cents. Big whoop. F J B.
😂🤣🤭🤡
So if they can just suspend it, it makes me wonder if they ever actually needed it in the first place.
Wow a whole 3 months 🤬
That and imposing a price ceiling will help too, folks.
Newsom will get away and not comply. We are scheduled for another gas tax starting July 1st
Big Fukkking deal
“It’s not that simple” -Greasy GavinNewsom
Watch the oil companies profits skyrocket. Now would be a good time to invest in Exxon BP
Won’t happen in California
🤣🤣🤣 So now JoeBiden Thinks he some kind of hero for a mess he created 🙄🙄
This does nothing. I wish Trump was back in office. He'd know exactly how to stop these guys.
So… where will the government get the money to replace that income? What is that revenue used for? Seems illogical and I just paid $6 a gallon at Costco 🤢 but, is that a smart thing to do? Can’t just suspend taxes and run up the out of control debt more
Perfect! 18 cent reduction will do nothing to help but reinstating it just before the midterms will crush the Dems even more than they are already going to get crushed.
GavinNewsom it’s a bad look when the president has to force you to do it😬
🤡
It's ok the individual states will just raise theirs to equal it all out....demonrats not doing us any favors
✋ Biden wants to ✂️ this source of revenue while giving billions to 🇺🇦 monthly The 🇺🇸 gov will simply print more $ to meet its obligations Result is the 💵 will lose even more value Get ready for Venezuelan style prices!
Another short-term solution that barely will save Americans Pennies. Biden’s energy policies have been a failure.
But this does nothing to get to the root of the problem, oil and gas corporations making record profits. The gas prices, world wide and over inflated for one reason, greed.
😂 that should knock off at least $1 off the price of gas here in Commie CA
Is this really going to help? It should be the oil companies that provide the relief not the government. Pretty sure oil companies can still make money without price gouging
Sir president let me advice you that the gas prices r high because of lionel Gibson not knowing what to do and putting her nose where it don belong
GavinNewsom you listening yet? Remember your moronic self was saying suspending the gas tax wouldn't do anything?
So instead of paying 6.45 at the pump, we will now be paying 6.20 😐
This should help bring down our 41-year high inflation rate. 🤡🤡🤡
A whole 0.25 cents lol
Then in 3months gas is forsure going to be over $10
That trick won’t work. He a great con artist though.
