Washington 鈥 Today, 黑料不打烊 President and CEO Chris Spear issued a statement calling on leaders in Washington to get serious about lowering energy prices and reducing inflation, rather than considering a proposal to temporarily suspend the federal fuel tax:听
鈥淎fter months of touting the passage of the well-funded Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 鈥 a much-needed investment in our nation鈥檚 roads and bridges 鈥 the Biden Administration wants to cut that same highway system鈥檚 primary source of funding with a suspension of the federal fuel tax.听
鈥淗ere are three immediate things this Administration and Congress can do that will actually make a difference. 听Make America energy independent鈥 stop kissing the ring of Saudi Arabia. 听Renew trade agreements with the European Union and Asian Pacific nations in order to export more American oil and natural gas. 听And, balance the budget鈥 stop wasting hard-earned taxpayer dollars on senseless programs that drive up inflation and runaway deficits.
鈥淓nergy independence, trade and a balanced budget. 听Do that, and America wins.鈥
