Youngkin on Gas Tax Holiday: “It’s Their Money, Not The Government’s”
Gas prices are a major topic of discussion in the U.S., where the soaring cost of fuel is hitting consumers’ wallets at a time when inflation is rising at a record pace. The Biden Administration says the driving force behind this spike is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the Democrats have also leveled allegations of price gouging by the oil industry. Meanwhile, some lawmakers are pitching a bold idea to provide some relief to the rising gas prices: a gas tax holiday. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin shares why he is advocating for a gas tax holiday for his constituents, the drag inflation is having on the U.S. economy and the value of coalition building ahead of the 2022 midterms.
Coming out of an era of loss and grief from the Covid-19 pandemic, Americans are now being bombarded with devastating images coming out of Ukraine, as well as exorbitant prices at the pump. The recent ‘Stress in America’ study conducted by the American Psychological Association found that Americans are more stressed than ever due to these current events. Clinical psychologist and APA spokesperson Vaile Wright joins the Rundown to discuss how pandemic fatigue and global news are affecting Americans’ mental health, the impact it’s had on children, and coping mechanisms to help deal with this newfound stress.
