| 摘要： | Washington, D.C.-President Joe Biden called on Congress to approve a three-month federal gas tax holiday to offer relief at the pump for Americans. But even leaders of his own party kept their distance from the proposal or came out against it. Biden also called for states to suspend their own gas taxes, oil companies to pass along the savings to consumers and refineries to boost capacity. "These actions could help drop the price at the pump by up to $1.00 a gallon or more," the president said. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said the policy at best would blow a $10 billion hole in the Highway Trust Fund that would have to be filled. He also warned gas tax suspensions by states would undermine the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca-lif.) said "we will see where the consensus lies on a path forward for the president's proposal." |
