Here’s an actual headline good for some laughs: “Vulnerable Senate
Dems try to run as tax-cutters.” That howler of a header appeared this week in Politico. As the publication explained, four Democratic senators all up for re-election in 2022— Mark Kelly of Arizona, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, and Raphael Warnock of Georgia—are now in favor of suspending the federal gasoline tax, which is 18.4 cents a gallon.
Politico added slyly, “It’s no coincidence that the Democrats most involved in the new push hail from the toughest battlegrounds.” And the article further added that in light of the failure of big-ticket legislative items such as Build Back Better, Democrats are “racing to cobble together an agenda that convinces voters that the party is responding to their biggest concern: rising costs.”
For the record, the gas taxes produce a little less than $ 30b a year in revenue for the government.
We have a similar idiot here in Colorado running for re-election for governot: the two cents extra gas tax that he added last year all of a sudden 'needs to be postponed'.
ReplyDeleteSadly, too many Kalifornicators have moved here over the years so that idiot agains will be elected.
Hopefully that's not happening here in Florida......
