Newsome Proposes Giving Californians $400 Rebate Instead of Cutting Gas Tax

Red State

It’s not surprising that California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state’s Democrat lawmakers want to create a new government program to provide residents relief from exorbitant gas prices in the state (in the form of $400 rebate debit cards) instead of taking at least one extremely easy and immediate action: pausing gas tax collection for a few months or longer. Of course, simply pausing tax collection doesn’t create more bureaucracy to keep public union pencil-pushers busy, doesn’t give Newsom an opportunity to send people money with a note signed, “Love, Gavin,” close to election time, and doesn’t allow him to point out special interest groups he’s including, i.e., illegal immigrants.

  1. They plan on going through the DMV and issuing these checks to registered car owners. Some poor people will get no relief. Imagine the infrastructure required versus just suspending the gas tax, which would result in anybody buying gas getting some relief. Stupid and incompetent does not do these assholes justice.
    California did their own Covid relief program. It resulted in about a bazillion dollars in fraud.
    Only the best a brightest.

  2. So, we own 3 cars in both my wife’s and my names. That would mean 800 max for me, since my name appears first on the registration. But if I put one car in my wife’s name, and another in my (imaginary) dependent’s name, we could get 1200 dollars.
    Nope, I don’t see any way people could cheat the system. It would be just as honest as the elections are.

  3. As I posted somewhere before;
    I’ll bet the majority of people getting these “rebates” either drive electric cars or don’t even own a vehicle in the 1st place.

  4. This is all to get everyone accustomed to needing gov money to survive. Their segway into a UBI system. Just wait until food prices inflate this summer. They are going to come to the rescue with more monetary relief before the election. And all this will do is keep driving inflation further until the inevitable collapse.

    Ahh, but Brad, useful idiots are much more impressed (and bought) with an insignificant cash money in the pocket bribe than a gas usage tax decrease.
