With the price of gas rising across the U.S., lawmakers are developing a string of proposals to help motorists - from $400 rebates for all taxpayers in California to imposing windfall taxes on oil companies or a sliding scale of payments that could net families as much as $300 every month.

The average cost of a gallon has raced past $4 a gallon amid domestic inflation and the impact of Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

This week, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in Los Angeles hit a record $6.011, even as the national average continued to decline slightly from the all-time high earlier this month, according to the AAA Gas Price Index.

An opinion poll published Wednesday found that almost three quarters of voters were in favor of a holiday from federal energy taxes to ease the burden.

And lawmakers across the country are pushing legislation to bring down prices at the pumps.

A new bill proposed by three Democrats - Reps. Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut and Lauren Underwood of Illinois - could be worth $300 each month to some families if the price of a gallon stays above $4.

'to some families'?  Democrats only?

[Kamaji]

O.M.G.

They will try anything to avoid having to deal with the only real cure for high gas prices - increased U.S. domestic production.  Even risking higher inflation.

Just how f**king dumb are they?

[LMAO]

This all has to stop!!!

I don’t know what the chances are of this passing but I wouldn’t bet that it wouldn’t. How many Republicans believe that if they don’t vote for this they’ll be seen as cruel and hard hearted by the voters?

Why not just simply go back to the energy policies of Donald Trump? That would provide better relief than this

Of course that may not matter if the dollar continues to lose its value

$30 trillion in debt and rising and a 40 year inflation high and we are being led by people who believe  that printing and spending even more will bring both down

That's rhetorical, right?

The Dems are not dumb - they are desperate to save the Green New Deal and the Global Climate Change agendas.

Higher fuel prices jeopordize their agenda and they fear electoral reprisals from the unwashed masses in November.

They are doing what comes naturally to them - using someone else's money to paper over their failed policies for some.

Lowering fuel prices by increasing supplies, increasing refining capacities, and increasing transportation capapcity would help everybody.

Remember, some people are more equal than others.

[cato potatoe]

Printing money to pay for inflation ... yes I'll repeat myself ... these people must have slept through the 20th century. 

[roamer_1]

That's it... Print more money. That'll fix it. 

[Kamaji]

Off to buy a loaf of bread.

[berdie]

That's it... Print more money. That'll fix it. 

Money for nothin' and checks for free.

What in the world is the worry ?  The evil Trump has been defeated and the messiah that can do no wrong, even if he does wrong, is in charge now.  Oh woe is me?  Hurray Biden is running things BETTER THAN TRUMPY!  Is this a mass grand delusion blanketing the nation?  Yippee i got my way/ Oh woe is me!
Oh yeah, the democrats closed down the asylums, didn't they, and surely more than one flew over the cuckoo next, eh?
 
On the way to the Pied Pipers promised land, utopia!

[LMAO]

The good news is this will all end one day.

The bad news is it won't be because of the leadership of our leaders but because they'll have no choice

[christian]

Americans struggling to pay for sky-high, and those that helped the elites laugh at us along with the elites!

Happy getting your way yet?  The horror is just starting......

rusty hammered it with:
"'to some families'?  Democrats only?"

The first steps towards a means-tested "universal basic income"...?

They won't be printing more money.

This is part of the plan to take money from the oil companies in a windfall profits tax and distribute it to citizens.

All it does is create a death-spiral as the companies who need the money to drill and produce more oil are denied it.

[christian]

This has all just got to stop!  Kick out all of the Republicans  power.then demand the Communists have to repent AND behave.  Like having all the power will force them to behave, instead of furthering their lust and quest dictatorial power.  Morons have been convinced this stupidity will work.  A Biden already has much of this in place, giving his the last of powers left must be the answer.  Socialists  wash brains, you have no choice but to believe this utter stupidity.
When America is dead and gone, you can do the last act of stupidity, and say your sorry.
Give up your $300 checks, Biden already decided the foreigners coming over the borders need millions each.  Brain activity yet?  Not very darn likely!

They know what they're doing; they are out to destroy the economy, make people more dependent on government and march us to socialism as fast as they can.  Control, control, control!
