More Gas Taxes

For John, BLUF:  I say tax because even if the price is driven up by a slack in supply due to Government action.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

HERE WE GO:  Gas Prices Have Already Spiked Under Biden (And They Could Go Much Higher)

From Trending Politics, by Mr Chris Donaldson, 12 February 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

After four years of stable gas prices under President Donald J. Trump, Americans may have to get used to some pain at the pump.

Former Vice President Joe Biden hasn’t even been in the White House for a month and gas prices are already up a whopping 18 percent with at least one analyst predicting that they could hit $4 per gallon in the near future.

This is, of course, a tax on the poor and the Middle Class.

Will the stimulus offset this taxation?

Hat tip to my Buddy Greg.
