5 thoughts on “White House, Dems eye pause of gas tax as prices soar, election looms

  1. Let’s see: In typical fashion, Democrats create a problem (high gas prices due to cancelling the pipeline, among other things) and then propose to solve the problem by pausing taxes needed to pay the onerous national debt they are more than happy to increase. Yeah, that’ll work…

  2. Now that the Build Back Better bill has not passed (and based on MSM bias…it was supposed to improved our roads, highways, and bridges). We don’t need extra funds from the federal gas tax and can just suffer when roads and bridges need repair. Instead we will need to buy war bonds to support the troops sent to defend Ukraine and Taiwan because our current administration is perceived as weak and Russia/China are moving forward on expansionist policies.
