Lee Murphy today called on Congress to immediately suspend the federal gas tax as part of the response to runaway gas prices.
“We need an ‘all-of-the-above’ energy policy to ensure that Americans don’t need to depend on countries like Russia or Venezuela. The United States should be an energy exporter. In fact, we were a net-exporter until January 21, 2021, when Joe Biden set us on the course towards $5 a gallon gas and higher oil and even electricity prices.
Joe Biden should rescind his executive order killing the Keystone XL pipeline. Congress should pass a federal gas tax holiday. And then we should have a real conversation about an energy policy that isn’t contingent on the whims of Vladimir Putin or Joe Biden’s campaign promises to ‘phase out fossil fuels.’”
