“The cosponsors of this amendment and I are not alone in our support for the suspension of the gas tax. A number of taxpayer groups also believe suspending the tax is good policy, and have endorsed such a suspension. Among these groups are the National Federation of Independent Business, the National Taxpayers Union, Americans for Tax Reform, and Citizens Against Government Waste. Let me read from the NFIB letter that states: For a small company that consumes 50,000 gallons of diesel fuel in a month, the increase in prices in the past year will cost that company an additional $40,000 per month. By suspending the gas tax for 150 days, we could save that small business over $60,000!”
