Axios also said that the group was worried that the distribution of the cards would be a slow process that could hamper the IRS in the middle of tax season.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/us-policy\/2022\/06\/17\/biden-gas-white-house\/\">reported<\/a> on Friday that White House aides were having difficulty with the gas card plan due to a microchip shortage facing the nation. Others also feared that Americans would not actually use cards for gas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/us-policy\/2022\/06\/17\/biden-gas-white-house\/\">according<\/a> to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>The average gallon of gasoline currently costs $5.00 nationwide, AAA <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">reported<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, in another attempt to drive down the cost of gas, the president sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-sends-letter-to-oil-companies-blasting-them-for-profits-demanding-they-increase-oil-production\">oil and gas companies a strongly worded letter<\/a>, demanding that they increase oil production while criticizing them for making record profits.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, former President Donald Trump\u2019s chief of staff Mick Mulvaney blasted the Biden administration for sending that letter in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s really surprising, Maria, is the letter itself, because Biden didn\u2019t write it,\u201d Mulvaney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/energy\/mulvaney-rips-biden-blaming-big-oil-gas-prices-admin-thinks-wave-magic-wand\">told<\/a> Fox Business\u2019 Maria Bartiromo. \u201cPresidents don\u2019t write those kinds of letters. It\u2019s written by staff. And what this means is that he\u2019s surrounded himself with people who really don\u2019t understand capitalism and the profit motive. They surround themselves with people who think the government can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/biden-threatens-oil-companies-emergency-powers-supply-inflation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wave a magic wand<\/a> and make people make more things.
