First of all, Obama's math makes no sense. Secondly, the guy basically called his now-former vice president's solution to the current inflationary crisis, which dwarfs the last one, a gimmick. How many Americans will actually remember Obama's 2008 speech and compared it to Biden's speech from this week? And even more importantly, if the federal gas tax is not currently needed to keep America's roads intact, then why not abolish it entirely? "No federal gas tax, yippee," wrote a commenter sarcastically. "Instead of paying $5.39 per gallon, now I'll be paying $5.21. What a relief. This will really help next time I go grocery shopping." "Saving 18 cents per gallon is nothing in the era of $6-per-gallon gas, even for semi-trucks that drive an average of 650 miles per day," added another. "And to top it off our infrastructure is failing because vehicles get better gas mileage today than they did 30 or 40 years ago, so we are already behind on normal maintenance and improvements from a lack of funding. Open drilling already! Start mining coal again, and if you want people to drive electric vehicles for local nonsense you'd better get the cost down by opening up rare earth mines here in the states." Many others echoed these sentiments. The latest news about the current state of America can be found at Collapse.news.

“For us to suggest 30 cents a day for three months is real relief, that that’s a real energy policy, means that we are not tackling the problem that has to be tackled.” pic.twitter.com/vUziTflOnb — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 22, 2022
