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.

Today it is very hard for people to discern a lie from a mistake. When it is repeated more than once it is likely a lie not a mistake.

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.

Every word that leaves Biden’s mouth is a lie. Period.
He’s a Democrat. It’s what they do.

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.

Everything about Biden is bogus and it does not take a brain surgeon to figure that out.

If Putin is to blame for higher fossil based energy prices and the higher prices are a good thing because people are using less and embracing green alternatives, shouldn’t Biden thank Putin for saving the planet?

Gas has a more than doubled in seacoast New England. I don’t hear a word of complaint because most of the people I know are democrats.
My big question is, why are no republican leaders pushing for help for their constituents?

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.

What else is he going to say? The truth? That he is taking orders from others and that this is the third term of Obama? This past year has had Obama's dirty and slimy fingerprints all over it.
