Gas prices are one of the things that effect normal, everyday Americans the most.
If it was so easy to make gas cheaper, don't you think that a President with poor approval ratings would do it if he could?
https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/consumer-expenditures/2020/home.htmTransportation fuel was < 3% of consumer spending in 2020, and it's probably no more than 4% now. Housing or food prices are
far more important than fuel. Americans just need to suck it up. There should be absolutely no government efforts to bring down the price of gas, and if anything, fuel taxes should be raised higher.
It is grotesque that Americans use having a baby (a
literal baby) as an excuse to buy some gas-guzzler. This obscene excess doesn't happen in any of the many other happier and more civilized countries than the US.
