I filled up my car (Honda) for $6.31/gal a few days ago, the lowest price in my area. That's more than $3/gal more than that station charged in Jan 2021.

What exactly is this $0.18/gal cut supposed to fix? Especially being temporary?

I think falling off the bike messed with his head even more than usual.

But, taxes are what hurt people, not greedy oil companies and commodity speculators.

Here it's already dropped by about 25 cents, just from the normal supply/demand/producer maneuvering. Another 18 cents is certainly not a big deal, especially since it will eventually cost us one way or another.

it's a temporary 3% reduction in the price, and it has to pass Congress.

What immediate action do you propose? You don't want the 18c cut? You can't simultaneously accuse him of being directly responsible (debatable given global prices have risen in correlation) and then say his proposed tax-cut isn't enough.

Why is Putin taxing us $0.18 / gal?

It's because of the "war effort". It's all because Russia and Ukraine are fighting.

Biden said so.

It’s because Biden is a socialist. Socialists love high oil prices. Or at least that’s what the TV box says. They can’t put anything on TV if it isn’t true.

Go read Biden's slew of EO's signed in early 2021. Biden does not like the oil industry and vowed to be all in with the climate crisis.
