President Trump loves America and Americans. He will find ways to get us the reliefs we need to survive better and thrive forever. God Bless Trump!!!
Ya know suspending the gas tax sounds like a good idea, but it pays for the highways we use, I think each State should receive the same amount of tax money they send to DC as to the amount they receive. in Indiana were in the lower 10 States in receiving the money we send to DC, it's just an unfair tax, I bend my rim on my car yesterday on a State highway due to pot holes, the City of Indianapolis is riddled with pot holes on the majority of streets, somethings has to give with the condition of roads. I was in Virginia last summer, their roads are as smooth as a babies butt. Keep the gas tax, and make it fair for all of us.
We're in NW Indiana, and I concur--roads are horrendous. In fact, a large sinkhole on a major street in West Lafayette occurred just this week. Old infrastructure combined with irresponsible funding management by the area's Democratic Mayors has me feeling like I'm living a real life City of Ember. Edit: duplicate word.
Using NJ as the example (Look up your own state, fren. This is from Google AI twat)
Federal Gas Tax:
Gasoline: 18.4 cents per gallon
Diesel: 24.4 cents per gallon
The federal tax is an excise tax levied on each gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel purchased in the U.S. The federal tax was last raised on October 1, 1993, and is not indexed to inflation
New Jersey State Gas Tax:
Gasoline: 44.9 cents per gallon (including the Motor Fuels Tax of 10.5 cents and the Petroleum Products Gross Receipts Tax (PPGRT) of 34.4 cents)
Diesel: 51.9 cents per gallon (including the Motor Fuels Tax of 13.5 cents and the PPGRT of 38.4 cents)
So...That means, the absolutely CHEAPEST per gallon cost BEFORE the gas station gets their cut is (Federal Tax + State Tax):
Gasoline = 18.4 + 44.9 = 0.633/gal
Diesel = 24.4 + 51.9 = 0.763/gal
Example: Wawa Current Fuel Prices near me...
Regular $3.13
Midgrade $3.63
Premium $3.74
Diesel $3.79
(State & Federal Taxes + Cost of Fuel Product + Delivery + Gross Profit)
Won't notice here in the Chicago area. The state has us at 47 cents a gallon and they just added the Metro summer surcharge of another 30 cents plus. The price around here is 3.59 a gallon even through oil prices are down, our cost went up.
then ---- Newsom raises California fuel tax
If he could pump the crypto market a little that would be greatly appreciated.
