BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Twitter went wild over a CNN Business article spinning recently-lowered gas prices in the country as a “$100-a-month raise.”
The piece, written by CNN Business senior writer Chris Isidore, argued that since gas prices have dropped from their record average highs, people should view it from the perspective that it’s an “unexpected form of economic stimulus.”
“Next time you stop at a gas station, think of it as a $100-a-month tax cut. Or a maybe $100-a-month raise,” he told readers. “I am very impressed with President Biden regarding this. And, it doesn’t matter how much prices go up on everything else, people should appreciate that it will cost them less to go out an purchase necessities… that they can barely afford.”
