Biden Admin’s Favorite Gas Talking Point
Is False, Economists Say

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 5/28/2022 12:38:09 PM

The Biden administration has insisted that record-breaking gasoline prices are solely caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine. The claim is false and “laughable,” economists told the Daily Caller.The White House often describes higher prices at the pump as “Putin’s price hike,” but prices were going up steadily after President Joe Biden took office. The price already increased by 55%, rising from a U.S. average of $2.11 when Biden took office to $3.51 the day before Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine, according to Forbes.“The ‘Putin’s price hike’ is laughable – and you can tell because no matter how hard they try to advance this particular little bit

Of course it's false. Biden has been lying his entire life. So much that he probably believes his own lies and keeps retelling stories that are well known lies. He just can't help himself.

" False " ? It's an outright LIE. The push is to make gasoline unaffordable so that we will beg for electric cars. Evil , rotten dems.

Before Bide the US was energy independent and a net exporter of oil/gas. He intentionally changed this. This is a self-inflicted wound with the higher cost of energy effecting everything through higher diesel costs for transporting goods and higher fertilizer costs impacting grocery prices. The year-over-year increase in PPI was 2/3s due to the increase in energy costs. There is no reason that the US, Canada, and Mexico cannot be energy independent and tell the Russians and Arabs to drink their oil.

All one has to do is break open a calendar, look at the dates of Biden's executive orders and see when gas prices started to rise. It's not rocket science.

To be honest, what else can they do but lie and try to shift blame. It's true that they want to kill fossil fuels, but in trying to do so they are destroying the country. None of that cadre of fools running the country anticipated the disaster they have created...human and financial.

The article mentions that Biden made "mistakes". No he didn't. He did exactly what he said he would do during his campaign. Further, Biden and Co. knew exactly that what has happened would be the result. Green policies are DESIGNED to raise prices and limit supplies to FORCE the American people into a low energy lifestyle. Actually, not all the American people, just the low income ones. Wealthy people, the energy hogs, will pay more and get what they want. The Greens know this as well. The Socialists (a good chunk of the "Greens") that want to undermine the American economy also know the impact on the economy of high energy costs. A weakened economy weakens America's strength in general, a goal of the Greens/Socialists that they don't broadcast. THIS OUTCOME IS WHAT THE PROGRESSIVES WANT and their actions caused it. They are internal enemies of America and it is astonishing that the voters haven't run away from them screaming in terror. Realize that about 40% of the voters still think Biden is doing a good job. It is deeply disturbing that 40% of the people are either too stupid to realize the real nature of the dem party or are enemies of America.

Only a Democrat could say, with a straight face, that actual decreased oil production in the US (at the time the worlds largest produced) has no impact on world oil prices but that a diversion of russian oil from European markets to Asian and Chinese markets (freeing up mideastern oil for the western market in the process) would have catastrophic impacts on oil prices. And they wonder why no one believes them.

The Texas school shooter’s grandmother, who he shot in the face before killing 19 kids and two teachers, may never be able to talk again, a relative told The Post on Sunday. “The bullet went into Sally’s jaw just next to her mouth and shattered all her teeth,” said Jason Ybarra, a second cousin of injured granny Celia “Sally” Martinez Gonzales, 66.“If the bullet was an inch in another direction, it would have blown her head off,” he said.“She’s doing fairly well, considering what happened. But she may never be able to talk again,” added Ybarra, 45.Martinez Gonzales is currently only communicating by writing, Ybarra said.

With the jury out in the trial of former 2016 Clinton campaign counsel Michael Sussmann, the usual odds-takers appeared on cable news, rating the chances of a conviction. Despite the seemingly overwhelming evidence against Sussmann, the jury’s makeup seems strikingly favorable for the defense. One verdict, however, appears to need little deliberation. It concerns the Department of Justice, and particularly the FBI. The trial confirmed what many have long alleged about how top officials eagerly accepted any Russia collusion claim involving former President Trump’s 2016 campaign.

And not the kind of trouble associated with such petty, earthly concerns like her party losing its majority in a humiliating and historic fashion this coming November. And with that loss, her loss of the speakership for the second time in a dozen years. No, Nancy Pelosi has some serious trouble with the disposition of her soul. And she needs our prayers, even if she doesn't believe it herself. Last week, her Archbishop, the aptly named Salvatore Cordileone, notified Pelosi that she should no longer present herself for the Holy Eucharist when attending Mass.
