 Gas rebate cards for Americans? Biden administration ‘considering’ the move
by Nexstar Media Wire and Jeremy Tanner - 06/20/22 6:25 PM ET

(NEXSTAR) – President Biden said Monday that gas rebate cards are one action his administration is considering to alleviate the pain of seemingly ever-rising gas prices in the U.S.

Biden, speaking to reporters Monday on the beach near his Delaware vacation house, confirmed that he was open to the idea, according to CNN.

The 46th president said gas cards are “part of what we’re considering, that’s part of the whole operation.”

As of Monday, the national average price of regular gasoline was just shy of $5 per gallon – nearly $2 higher than it was a year ago, according to AAA.

Gas rebate cards are one of several financial salves to help Americans weather spiking fuel costs, but the proposal has run into resistance in the past. When the White House considered rebates two months ago, a House Democratic counsel panned the suggestion, concluding that it might have the unintended effect of driving inflation, as well as being a pricy, poorly-targeted solution.

Senior White House aides also had concerns that the ongoing U.S. microchip shortage could make it hard to produce sufficient rebate cards, and it could be difficult to prevent people from using the money to buy something other than gas, according to The Washington Post.

It’s not yet clear how much money households might receive via the rebate cards, nor who might receive them.

Gas rebate cards are just one of several tactics the Biden administration is considering as the White House hopes to turn around foundering poll numbers before fall elections.

How are they going to pay for this rebate garbage and how does it help bring down gas prices? How is it going ro be distributed fairly? Why does it matter what you spend the money on? Fuel prices affect the cost of everything you buy.

Hemorrhaging economic crisis that threatens the existence of America, and Biden continues to lie and deny along with blame shift.
Of course anything Biden does will be and is better than anything Trump did/does, remember?
 Three times the charm?
Obama gave away a whole American Army to Iraq/Muslim radicals.  Biden gave away Afghanistan a whole American Army, pallets of money in hundred dollar bills and American civilians as well, but it looks like Biden is far from finished.
 More and more it looks like Biden intends to pump the Ukraine full of American weapons and money, to have the whole dang thing given over to Putin.  Europe has been conned into this kubuki theater and has much disarmed themselves to heavily arm the Ukraine/Putin.  The usual fools will excuse and justify it, as no blame can be directed at biden, (Odd they still blame Trump) Biden still  puts on  regular acts to convince fools he is blameless, and they buy it every time.  Are they really that dumb, or really that covert useful?

They are building a case for nationalizing the oil companies they have hobbled from day one of the regime.

Do you know how little oil workers in Venezuela earn?  The only thing that makes their jobs worthwhile is the opportunity to steal and sell equipment.  All your industry spare parts inventory will disappear within 6 months of 'nationalization'.
