Biden Calls on Congress to Suspend Fuel Taxes in Summer

Correspondent Marieke de Vries:

If the plan succeeds and the states go along with it, it will certainly make a difference to consumers. They would then be about 50 cents per gallon can save fuel.

It is clear that prices have risen enormously. Last year a full tank cost $46, now it’s $74.50. Everyone is complaining about the prices. Precisely because summer is a busy season for Americans, Biden comes up with a plan. People are now canceling their vacations because it has become too expensive to travel.

By the end of this year, the Americans will elect a new Congress and Biden hopes to keep voters on the side of the Democrats. He wants to send a signal to the American voter that he is trying to do everything he can to bring prices down at the pump, even though he knows that it probably won’t quite work out.
