As the war in Iran pushes U.S. gas prices toward $4 a gallon nationally, some lawmakers are pushing to suspend the federal gasoline tax in the latest attempt to try to control surging energy costs.
Lawmakers say the action would provide much-needed relief for families and businesses that rely on their cars and trucks to get to work and school and run everyday errands.
Asked about the gas tax at a Cabinet meeting Thursday, Donald Trump said he has “thought about” suspending it but suggested states should consider suspending their fuel taxes.
If only there was an alternative fuel source for vehicles that we were in the middle of investing in that may have paid off in situations like this.
A shame that doesn’t exist.
Situations like… Going to war to keep the petro dollar fueled?
What’s crazy is this was 100% predictable. Shit, YouTuber RealLifeLore did a video titled “What happens if Iran blocks the strait of Hormuz” like 5 years ago.
