Joe Biden speech today LIVE – ‘Tax per mile’ plan uncovered as president slammed for ‘violating oath of office’

PRESIDENT Joe Biden is set to give a speech today on his plans to boost job growth with the “Build Back Better” agenda.

However, President Biden will step to his podium today under fire after a controversial plan was found in his $1.2trillion infrastructure bill.

Included in the bill, which passed the Senate this week, is a pilot program that could see drivers could soon trade paying taxes on gas at the pump for owing the government annual ‘per-mile user fees’.

Everyday drivers and commercial freight drivers from all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico would have to be enrolled in the voluntary program, the bill text reads, according to the Daily Mail.

It comes as Biden was also slammed for “violating his oath of office”.

A Los Angeles Times column argued the president has done so by “issuing a new moratorium on renter evictions” to replace the one that was due to end on July 31.
