18 cents on a $4.52 gallon isn't relief — it's a coupon
Plan (drafter input)
Gas is $4.52 a gallon nationally — up more than 50% since the Iran war started. Energy Secretary Chris Wright went on Meet the Press and said the administration is 'open to all ideas' including suspending the federal gas tax (18 cents a gallon). That's the proposal. Mike's angle: 18 cents on a $4.52 gallon is noise. The real story is that the same people who killed Keystone, blocked drilling, and lectured you about EVs are now pretending a gas-tax holiday is relief. Button: you broke it, now you're handing us a coupon.

Body
Gas hit $4.52 a gallon nationally. Up more than 50 percent since the Iran war started. So Energy Secretary Chris Wright goes on Meet the Press and floats the big idea: maybe suspend the federal gas tax. Eighteen cents a gallon. That's the proposal. That's the relief.
Let's be clear about who's handing you this coupon. These are the same people who killed Keystone. Blocked new drilling leases. Spent years telling you the future was electric and you needed to get on board whether your budget agreed or not. They built the conditions for $4.52 and now they're on Sunday television talking about eighteen cents like it's a lifeline. Wright couldn't even say prices wouldn't hit five dollars. "I can't predict the price of energy in the short term or even the medium term." That's the energy secretary. That's the plan.
A gas-tax holiday is what you offer when you broke something and don't want to fix it. You want prices down? Drill. Approve the pipelines. Stop treating domestic production like a problem to be managed. Eighteen cents doesn't cover the damage. You broke it. Now you're handing us a coupon.
