Question

Gas Rebate Act of 2022

With Americans still in shock over jaw-dropping, rising gas prices, a few proposals have floated around Congress and elsewhere about offering some relief to drivers. 

Los Angeles on Tuesday became the first major city in the U.S. to reach an average gas price of $6 or more. That's according to fuel savings platform GasBuddy, which reported the national average gas price in the U.S. beginning to decline since its peak of $4.35 per gallon on March 10. 

Some proposals include a stimulus check while others would tax oil companies. 

Americans could get a $100 per month energy rebate

 

One proposal comes from Reps. Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut, and Lauren Underwood of Illinois. 

The congressional lawmakers propose the Gas Rebate Act of 2022 where Americans would get an energy rebate of $100 per month (and $100 for each dependent) for the rest of 2022 in any month where the national average gas prices exceed $4.00 per gallon.

Wouldn't that be like Congress where they make you "reconcile" advance gas credits with actual gasoline used.

"With Americans still in shock over jaw-dropping, rising gas prices"

Just tell them to go live in the Ukraine for a week.  High gas prices sure beats living in a bomb shelter because you have bombs and missiles trying to kill you everyday.  Americans need to put life in perspective and quit whining so much. 

Slava Ukraini!

I thought Newsom (gov here in CA) was yapping about $400 checks to help with the gas prices....its all a buncha hooey, you'll never get the right money to the right people. get rid of the CA gas tax (isnt it like 58 cents per gallon?) for awhile and help those that are actually filling their tanks!

MD is not collecting its gas tax for 30 days. Woo Hoo. It's 30 or 36 cents a gallon.  Gas did drop below $4 a gallon over the weekend.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
