The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) responded to renewed calls for a windfall tax from congressional Democrats. TPA urges lawmakers to oppose the misguided idea that higher taxes would lower oil prices.

Today, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) criticized lawmakers for attempting to get in the way of the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) fleet acquisition strategy. In February of 2021, the agency announced a ten-year agreement with manufacturer Oshkosh Defense to replace its aging fleet and purchase of up to 165,000 new mail trucks. Despite the USPS and Oshkosh’s plan to make 10 percent of these vehicles electric, lawmakers have deemed this figure inadequate and pushed for the revision or cancellation of the procurement contract.

This has understandably caused confusion and anxiety among families with young children, the majority of whom will feed their infants formula at least once by the time their babies are six months old. To gain a greater understanding of the issues that led to this shortage, TPA sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration with several questions and requests for clarifications.

The Taxpayers Protection Alliance’s bill of the month for May 2022 is S. 4115, the Fairness for Crime Victims Act of 2022, introduced by Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).

Today, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance slammed the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) after the agency reported a $639 million net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2022. This figure increased significantly from the same quarter last year, when the USPS reported a $82 million net loss. The federal agency continues to suffer significant net losses despite a heavily criticized plan by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to save money by altering delivery standards and slowing down the delivery of first-class mail.
