The tax, which Congress would have to deal with, NOT Trump feed’s the same Treasury that Trump’s wants checks for $1.5 Trillion for the Defense Dept.and even his East Wing Ballroom…..
One thinks this CUT in revenue for a Treasury awash in Red Ink ain’t gonna go anywhere…..
Punchbowl News: “Trump’s push for a federal gas tax holiday isn’t going over well with Senate Republicans. Thune was more critical of the idea on Tuesday than he was even the day before.”
“Thune wouldn’t commit to holding a standalone floor vote on a gas tax suspension, saying it was more likely that a vote would occur as an amendment to a different bill.”
Said Thune: “That does, obviously, impair significantly the highway trust fund, which is already getting transfers from the general fund because it’s not keeping up. I’m not discounting it, but I’m saying there are implications around that that we need to think about.”
Note….
Between the filibuster ‘NO’ and this ‘NO” I guess Donald has lost his honey moon with the US Senate?
