Trump was and is the biggest liar but yet these supporters make him god like.
Low gas was due to supply and demand. During pandemic nobody was traveling so prices went down. Now that pandemic is behind us we see the country needs to balance out again. Prices will go down and if republicans get off their dead asses maybe we could raise taxes in corporations and the rich to make up what we lost under trumps fake tax breaks because they only went to super rich and corporate

You obviously download the latest cnn npc data. Unfortunately for that hogwash, gas was nearly $2/gal less ~before~ covid, and everyone who pays taxes got them lowered. I’m certainly not ‘super rich’ and our liability was nearly $5g less.

That guy connected some dots.

Now, that said, I don't see Biden or his team as blameless. There are things they could have done to reassure producers of the reality that they can and should explore, drill and pump in a way that supports investor calls for strategy and returns, not just blind grabs for growth unsupported by sound strategy and get caught with their pants down again holding too much oil.

As I've said many times, we won't stop burning things in my lifetime to generate energy and do work.

I always love watching libs make fools of themselves by posting statements like this that are completely contradicted by the facts.

Nearly ALL Americans benefited from Pres Trump's tax cuts

But this thread is about the price of gas which has risen tremendously ever since Senile Biden took office thanks to his war on oil so please stay on topic

I filled up at a Sheetz in Moon Township today. $4.39.9 for regular. Same price as a couple days ago in Washington Pa.

That's sad for you, Bam. I filled up yesterday for 4.299 on 51 before any discounts.

Lower prices ARE out there. Hence the avg

So what is next? Senile Biden sending every American family a few lottery scratch offs?

SCOOP: The White House considered giving Americans gas cards to help offset high prices, but faced strong opposition from congressional committees, which questioned the plan's viability and effectiveness.
