For all that the Republicans complain about the Democrats being naïve economically, they sure don’t seem to understand economics themselves. Oil is a commodity sold in an international market. There is little the President can do to positively influence gas prices (he can do a lot to raise prices, like invade a neighboring country). The US pays less per gallon than many other countries of the world, except Venezuela, which pays 12 cents a gallon.
Of course, refusal to use renewable energy sources, create better batteries for electric vehicles (and refusal to use public transit when it is available) have nothing to do with it.
Nor does providing safety for the environment, including public drinking water (have you seen those videos of people igniting what comes out of their kitchen faucets) or trying to make the air breathable?
I wonder what companies little Mikey has stock in.
Nope, blame the Saudis who announced a year ago this month they were raising prices to make up for the 40% loss in profits due to COVID-19 in 2020. Other industries followed making the inflation we have, Use your head, higher oil prices and inflation are world-wide, not just the U.S.
Mr Ramirez, could you explain why US oil production has been higher, month after month (with one exception) under Biden in 2021 than under Trump in 2020, if Biden has been doing all those terrible things? (After the damage to the frozen Texas oil fields was repaired)
Yeah we were oil independent under President Trump but under Biden we import over 3 million barrels per day and 959,000 BPD from Russia. Way to go Democrats. Let’s go Brandon.

Absolutely correct, Mikey, Biden is solely responsible for crude prices globally. Good call!

I have to assume that there should have been “/s” at the end.

Dementia Joe doesn’t care how much he’s ruining the country, as long as he gets his afternoon pudding cup.

Ramirez put up a blue wall of word salad behind Biden hoping at least some of it would stick. It didn’t work.

^^ Qrackhead continues to peddle meth-addled fiction without any facts,
Meanwhile, Ramirez tosses out the typical half-baked RW memes in the hope that something sticks. Fails again.

To those of you who do not understand or agree with Ramirez, I feel for you.
