President Biden recently proposed a three-month gas tax “holiday” during which the federal government would not collect the 18.4 cents/gallon Federal Gas Tax. Unfortunately, it is unlikely this would cause the price of gas to fall.
Over the past couple of years, I have made a conscious effort to not sound like my parents when talking to my sons and others in the Gen Z and Millennial age groups. Mainly because I disliked the “when I was your age” conversations when I was young. As nice as my childhood was, it really wasn’t all great.

It seems like a perfect storm and that the U.S. is staring down the barrel of an inevitable recession.

As of this article’s writing, inflation is 8.2%, imposing an unavoidable tax on all Americans. A tragedy of this is that this inflation could have easily been avoided.
