When they are willing to suspend taxes: Against a background of surging gasoline prices at the beginning of an election year, a group of Democratic lawmakers are calling for a suspension of the federal gas tax for the rest of 2022. The Gas Prices Relief Act proposed by Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-HN) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) – both of whom are up for reelection in the fall – would suspend the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax until the beginning of 2023. The legislation would also empower the Treasury Department to monitor retail prices of gas to ensure that producers are passing the tax savings on to consumers. And it would require the Treasury to maintain the integrity of the federal Highway Trust Fund by covering the lost gas tax revenues with general tax revenues. “People are feeling a real pinch on everyday goods, and we must do more to help address rising costs, particularly the price of gas,” Hassan said in a statement.

Very, very scared. Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. |

Now it's $3.29/gallon. Not caused by demand either as I know several gas station owners who's monthly sales have been dropping (year over year). Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. |

That is a good point - suspension of taxes rather than handouts to selected voter demographics (EBT? etc.) or refundable tax credits (EIC? etc.)
Who will have the courage to make ALL taxes sunset-able? i.e. Annual/Bi-annual extensions OR and end if not extended? Like term limits for taxes? |
