The White House considered giving Americans gas cards to help offset high prices, but faced strong opposition from congressional committees, which questioned the plan's viability and effectiveness.


quote:

Democrats in both chambers have been brainstorming ideas on legislation to lower gas prices after they reached record high levels last week.

Other ideas being discussed include stimulus checks, using more ethanol to lower the demand for oil, and canceling oil companies' federal leases that aren't actively being used, the senior Democratic aide told Axios.




quote:

Various Democrats have also already introduced bills that would suspend the federal gas tax; raise taxes on oil companies to fund means-tested assistance; or provide a federal rebate whenever gas prices get above $4 per gallon.

It is almost like folks in this administration are not remotely capable of thinking critically. It would be funny, except it is just pitiful.

Since the left believes in renewable energy - send every homeowner solar panels and windmills.

Yes printing more free money would definitely help prices go down.

Every single one of those ideas are horrible and wouldn’t remotely fix the issue much less put a dent it.

We could lift sanctions on Russia and start trading with them again. Quit giving the losing side free weapons and the “war” would be over sooner.

How about you just get the potatoe in Chief to approve the pipeline and expedite drilling leases and permits?

Tell the EPA to take the next year off.

No one questioning the viability and effectiveness of handing out maximum food stamp benefits, though, are they?

There has talk here in California about giving every taxpayer $400 to cover the increase in gas. They won’t consider lowering or eliminating (even temporarily) the state tax on each gallon though. The White House has probably picked up on that idea to some extent.

Oh, boy, price controls! This has never been attempted before in history, and it has never before ended in absolute failure.
