Actually quite smart to raise fuel taxes imo:
Trump for instance complains about oil prices being too high. No wonder if you looks at the tens of millions of gas guzzlers in the USA.
If Americans would buy more frugal cars and trucks (diesel or electric for example), there would be less demand for oil = lower prices
And less air pollution, less money to middle eastern states, less climate change, it has a lot of advantages I think
(I drive a diesel)
