I think Biden’s gas tax holiday is a bad idea.


Jun 22, 2022, 11:11 PM

This article outlines some reasons why:

https://www.npr.org/2022/06/22/1106642582/biden-wants-a-gas-tax-holiday-some-economists-say-thats-a-bad-idea


I don’t think that savings, assuming it’s actually passed on to the consumer, will make much of a difference for people’s bank accounts. Plus, the holiday will be short-lived and does nothing to address the actual problem.

To me, the gas tax holiday makes it look like he’s trying to do something even though it’s pretty insignificant.

I don’t think it’s the president’s fault that gas is as expensive as it is, nor do I believe it’s his job to try to fix it.

It is a complete fraud meant to make Biden look good while in

Actuality his administration is doing everything they can to kill energy production and make gas prices as high as possible.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No, this administration isn’t trying to raise gas prices.

Get real.

You do realize that the gas shortage is a worldwide problem, right? It’s not specific to the U.S. and isn’t Biden’s fault, no matter how much you want it to be.

it turns out that governement policies

have zero effect on the economy. Biden's promise to end fossil fuels backed up by many executive orders restricting access and increasing the cost of supply has no effect, no effect at all. It's Putin's fault.

Wonder why they can’t take Biden at his word when he promised to destroy the gas and oil industry?

It is absolutely, directly Biden’s fault.

If he wants to do something, do something that goes straight to consumers.

Can you share with us any other IDEAS by Joe that are/ were bad ideas? I'll wait. Take your time and think hard.

Fiscally irresponsible in my opinion.

Thank goodness for Joe Manchin.

Judge, Can you share with us any other IDEAS by Joe that are/ were bad ideas? I'll wait. Take your time and think hard.

Are you avoiding answering an important question. That's not like you. I'll wait.

Should I answer it for you? Come on, big boy, give it a whirl.

With the gas tax holiday I'll pay $96.40 instead of $100 for


Jun 23, 2022, 6:50 AM

a 20 gallon tank. Yay - it will only take another 28 fill ups of that 20 gallon tank to result in one "free" tank of gas from all the savings. What a bargain - buy 28 (at a cost of $2,800) and get 1 free...

I’m ok with doing away with the tax entirely…forever.

Personally, the less $$$ the gubmint has, the better.

You mean you don't think $8/month for the rest of the summer is a big deal?



Remember, as Joe's dad supposedly used to say, it's just a little breathing room.
