That’ll save about 18 cents per gallon. In a few weeks rising costs will have obviated that savings. But it buys him a little more time.

So what’s going to make up for that revenue lost?

Sounds like the concept of an ill-fated plan.

So…run up the deficit some more instead of actually addressing the problem.

Maybe focus on the Iran deal instead

24c for diesel but does little for industry. The economy runs on diesel not gasoline and diesel is about 2x more than last year right now.

I’m all for reducing taxes and all but this administration has been spending like the bill will never come due, increasing spending on the military and the police state, cutting taxes for the rich and corporations and now this on top of all that?
If they plan on running the govt on borrowed money forever this will come to a head in a very bad way. And pausing the federal gas tax won’t do much to help the people unless all govt, state, county and city taxes are also suspended.

First thing this morning I heard democrats called for the tax to be suspended. I thought that’s dumb, but easy for me to say. Now I’m bombarded by articles of trump saying it. Where did it start?

You pay for it at the pump. You give back the State funds you were getting through fuel prices.
