Trump's Federal Gas Tax Holiday Is A Con
President Trump urged a temporary suspension of the 18‑cent‑per‑gallon federal gasoline tax, proposing a 122‑day holiday that could be introduced by House Republicans before the midterm elections. The Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates the cut would shave roughly $13 billion from federal revenues, but only about 72% of the reduction would be passed through to gasoline prices, with the remainder boosting oil‑company margins. Critics argue the measure would do little to lower pump prices for drivers and could even raise them. The proposal highlights the tension between short‑term political gains and long‑term fiscal policy.
