Delusional I just posted why inflation is up and that’s the extent of your debate. How about you posting how Biden caused inflation.

You make these comments which is typical when your mind set is the same as Trump you make accusations can’t explain why and offer no solutions. And you call me Delusional wow

Lets start with gas prices

BIRDMAN

Biden and the Democrats run the country genius

Total crock!

Is THAT what that was!!! I thought my ears heard something! 😁😁

Thanks for the nice words!

Hope you have a lovely week ahead, and that it is full of fun! (There's not enough fun going around these days, we need to do more of that! 😀 )

The buck stops with Biden!!!!

Airforceone

Okay what caused gas prices to increase. Biden didn’t raise the prices the oil companies raised prices. So why did the oil companies raise prices and what did Biden do that raised prices.

Your comment so you must know why the gas prices went up.

BIRDMAN

Yes gas prices went up because Biden put so many restrictions on drilling in the USA that nobody wants to do it

Airforceone

What restriction did he put on that’s just not true.
Biden opened up 48,000 acres of public land for the f****l f**l companies to drill on. They have not drilled any of that land.

I just wish you people could get off this h**e for Biden or any Democrat. What you posted is just not true.

Biden is trying to get through this supply problem taken care of but the resistance by republicans in the Senate keep blocking anykind of legislation.

He attempted legislation called (THE CONSUMER PRICE GOUGING PREVENTION ACT) because of the massive profits that oil companies are making. 20 of the largest oil companies earned over $285 billion in profits last year and paid zero taxes.It was there biggest profit margins in history. Biden tried republicans blocked it and by the way what are republicans offering in the way of price gouging. Absolutely nothing all they do is block everything Biden tries but offer no solutions.

Just use some common sense and stop all that h**e and look at what caused this gas increase and who is actually trying to hold the oil companies accountable for price gouging

If republicans and there supporters keep blaming Biden blocking legislation and not mandating the f****l f**l companies to drill more and build up supplies they are going to keep the prices where they are and continue to make massive profits.

I just wish you would use a little common sense and stop the h**e.

You're a waste of time. Biden's approval rating just hit another new low and after a year and a half, you're still trying to blame Trump. Intellectual discussion? I don't go around discussing issues with someone who calls another a c***sucker, period. Biden hits another new low: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-job-approval-hits-another-low-in-new-survey/ar-AAXiY0S?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=7773d45e3de04532a4c368b0f16d5f51 Blaming Trump? Give me a brake. Nobody's buying your bulls**t.

I am not blaming anybody I am just trying to get you to look at the facts. This country went thru a p******c for 2 years we lost millions of jobs thousands of people were dying. Demand for gas went down oil reserves went down. When Biden took office a v*****e had been developed and he got those v*****es out to 68% of this country 24 million people back to work his first year demand for gas went up and supplies were down so gas prices went up.

You won’t even look at the $285 billion the oil companies made in profit last year, the largest profit mar gain in history with this $4 to $5 a gallon. You won’t look at Biden legislation (CONSUMER PRICE GOUGING PREVENTION ACT)
Attempting to give the federal Trade commission the power to issue fines for price gouging. Every Republican in congress v**ed no to everything Biden tried to do. Now answer this question what have the republicans offered in the form of legislation absolutely nothing. They just block everything as our nation suffers all for political gain and as long as there supports continue to blame Biden the corporate elite will continue to price gouge. So they sit back and block Biden legislation and offer nothing to bring down prices. Biden opened up 48,000 acres of public land for drilling and the f****l f**l companies have not drilled any of that land.

Besides what condition was this country in when Trump left office. Lost 28 million jobs unemployment at 7.8%

So Biden created 24 million jobs in a year wages went up 5.8% demand for goods and service went up and the corporate elite started price gouging because supplies were down and demand went up. But as long as republicans offer nothing and block everything the left tries to do and just blame Biden the oil companies and the corporate elite will continue to price gouge.
All I want is for you to do is understand what this country went thru it was not Biden’s fault we had a p******c but he has tried but he gets blocked.

Not one Republican has offered any legislation to bring down prices. They just blame Biden

Stop that ideology of h**e for democrats and look at the facts. One side is trying the other just blames Biden.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Every new poll that comes out says I'm winning. BTW.you are balaming Trump. Somebody has to be at fault for the mess we are in. "The buck stops here" was the best line from a President ever, and that's the way it should be with Biden. His policies absolutely SUCK. from his radical left agenda to stifle "free speech". ....especially with this unconstitutional "governance board" to draining the oil reserves from our safety net....and I could go on. Your solution and answer to an classy discussion is to call somebody a d********g name for oral sex with the same g****r that only Kemmer would take as a compliment. Name five things that Biden has done beneficial to ALL Americans and I'll start listening. If you can't do that, then just go away. OMT, don't tell me how I would v**e. You have no fkn clue....and furthermore it's none of your business. I like Tulsi and I would v**e for her.

The national average for a gallon of gas for Americans has risen to $4.065, 45 cents higher than just last week.

As Americans return to work, plan spring break and summer vacations they are faced with rising gas prices. (Not to mention higher costs for electricity, home heating, and groceries!!)

The price at the pump and for home expenses began to rise before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. At the end of 2021, President Joe Biden announced the U.S. Department of Energy will release 50 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Energy experts told PBS interviewers that tapping the SPR won’t drive down gas prices. The decision was little more than “a drop in the ocean” when it comes to energy policy, one person said.

The decision also won’t counteract Biden administration policies that have caused rising energy costs — and that will continue to drive prices higher in the future.

Here are 25 decisions the president has made over the last year that have affected gas prices, home heating costs, and other energy-related burdens U.S. families and businesses face.

#1 and 2: Adopting new EPA oil and gas rules
In November 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency announced new regulations governing methane emissions from oil and gas production, t***smission, storage, and distribution that would cost more than $1 billion a year.

Last spring, Biden signed a resolution that overturned Trump administration reforms to EPA oil and gas rules. This resolution will worsen energy poverty, reestablish burdensome regulations, and have a disproportionate impact on small businesses.

#3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8: Restricting or impeding energy projects
One of Biden’s first actions after taking office was to halt new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters, the Biden administration has delayed decisions on these leases — a move that results in higher energy costs for the most vulnerable consumers.

The administration canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and New Mexico (despite opposition from the Navajo Nation). It also resurrected the “Waters of the United States” rule, which would increase barriers to energy projects.

The White House is pursuing new standards for particulate matter and ozone, likely tightening them to unachievable levels for much of the country and creating new barriers for energy project permits.

#9: Rejoining the Paris agreement
In April 2021, without the consent of Congress, Biden rejoined the Paris agreement, which will result in onerous new regulations that could raise energy costs.

#10: Appointing unaccountable energy regulators
The president has created several bodies within the White House charged with creating new policies to regulate energy. The people who run these councils are unelected and do not need Senate confirmation, but they have been given broad powers to come up with new executive actions — which do not need consent from Congress — to regulate U.S. energy production.

#11: Forcing states to restrict driving
One section of the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supported by the White House, would require every U.S. state to develop state carbon-reduction plans that must be approved by the U.S. Department of T***sportation as well as be updated every four years.

These plans are aimed at reducing driving all over the country — even for people in rural areas where public t***sportation is limited, and driving is the only option.

#12, #13, and #14: Raising the prices of cars and trucks
The Biden administration has failed to take adequate action on annual requirements and small refinery waivers for the Renewable Fuel Standard and in providing regulatory relief from this biofuel mandate due to economic hardship. His EPA has finalized a new rule regulating greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks. That single regulation could raise the average vehicle price by $1,000.

#15: Instituting a new policy on carbon taxes in organized wholesale electricity markets
This carbon pricing policy statement, issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in April 2021, is a blanket endorsement of top-down policies that have been demonstrated to be costly, ineffective, regressive, and consistently rejected by the American people.

#16: Raising the prices of common household necessities
The EPA has issued a final rule to phase out a common, inexpensive refrigerant. This policy is a de facto tax on air conditioning and refrigeration.

#17: Stifling energy innovation
In May 2021, Biden issued a sweeping executive order that mobilized federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, to enforce mandates on businesses, insurers, retirement funds, and suppliers. These policies will stifle innovation critical to improving the environment and will increase costs for a wide variety of businesses.

#18: Altering regulatory cost analyses
The Biden administration has changed key inputs for economic and regulatory analysis, including raising the “social cost” of greenhouse gases. These policies will mask the true consumer cost of regulatory actions.

#19 and #20: Imposing new costs on power generation
The administration attempted to resurrect an aggressive version of the Clean Power Plan for power sector mandates called the Clean Electricity Standard.

In the Fall 2021 Unified Agenda, the EPA stated their intention to propose what can be considered the Clean Power Plan 2.0. This policy would impose burdensome regulations but would have little or no environmental benefit.

The EPA also has mandated that even facilities with reduced emissions must remain on the list of “major” sources, subjecting these facilities to permitting burdens and higher costs.

#21: Impeding Americans exports
The administration is considering potential restrictions on the export of crude oil that would increase, not decrease, energy prices.
