Trump says he wants to suspend the gas tax. Here's what that means for you and your wallet.

A gas tax holiday would provide some small relief for drivers, but it wouldn't solve the biggest reasons prices at the pump are soaring.

President Trump said Monday that he supports suspending the federal gas tax “for a period of time” to help lower prices at the pump, which have spiked dramatically since the start of the war with Iran.

“I think it's a great idea," the president told CBS News during a phone interview. “We're going to take off the gas tax for a period of time, and when gas goes down, we'll let it phase back in.”

The average national price for a gallon of gas was $4.52 on Monday, according to AAA. That represents a roughly 50% increase from where prices stood shortly before the war started in late February.

Trump’s comments come a day after Energy Secretary Chris Wright told NBC News that the administration was considering suspending the federal gas tax.

“All measures that can be taken to lower the price at the pump and lower the prices for Americans, this administration is in support of,” Wright said. “We’re open to all ideas.”

Twitter has gone so downhill that your account can just get randomly permanently suspended, with 0 actual provided reason as to why other than "We're X we do what we want!!!" then the appeals are so ass that it's just an ai telling you within the second of you submitting an appeal that "X CAN DO WHAT WE WANT!!!"

With evidence too bitch, cuz I'm not being treated like shit for no reason

Another budget sleeper, this time for the powerhouse of a set that was Modern Horizons 2. Blue has a few great options for efficient creature removal, beyond its normal suite of counterspells that are excellent if timed correctly, the most played of which are these three, simply because of how cheap they are and how little their downside matters in commander.

These are all really good! However, with how much play they see, Rapid Hybridization and Pongify have both climbed to the $5 range, which is a lot when other options exist, like Suspend over here.

Now, Suspend is somewhere in between a bounce spell and a removal. It only gets rid of the problem temporarily. But two entire turn cycles is forever in commander, the board has the time to get wiped of the other problems in the meantime, or people to prepare to handle the threat when it comes back down. Since Suspend makes the owner cast the card, you can even have a counterspell ready for when it comes back down if you really need to.

And notably, it can also target your own creatures. Just like a bounce spell, you can use it to save your own stuff from removal and board wipes, albeit you trade having to wait a bit longer against not having to repay the casting cost. Since you get haste on the way back down, it's not terrible. You'd rather not, but it's an option. Since you're in control the whole time, it can be both a removal and occasionally save a thing.

Next time you're drafting a removal suite for a blue deck, give this $0.50 card a try!

Older forms show that this character is a combination of 土 ground and a component showing a plant with drooping leaves. Together this represented a “plant with its leaves hanging down to the ground,” giving the current, broader, meaning of “hang/suspend.”
