78 wordsAll Latest News, Government Policy and LawCBS News: President Joe Biden today called on Congress to suspend federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months — an idea that’s intended to ease financial pressures at the pump, but that also reveals the political toxicity of high gas prices ahead of the midterm elections in November.
