@wildgrass saidHe doesn't set the price, he just controls the supply....and therefore the cost. Same with food and everything else through incompetence and neglect.
Remind me what is the form of government where the leader sets prices for things like fuel and food?

Thanks, unbridled capitalism!

Fairy land. If Biden could control the cost of goods, we would have much much bigger problems than at-the-pump gas prices.
y'all can argue the cost of gasoline all day long. The only thing voters will go by in November is how they f'n FEEL, and if they are p'd off enough, it won't matter at all who actually caused inflation and in particular - gasoline prices to dramatically rise, all the voters will know is, "TIME FOR A CHANGE"

@jj-adams saidIf you had an ingrown toenail you
Thanks, Biden.
would likely blame BIDEN;;;;;
Blame Putin, for this WORLD WIDE INFLATION.
CAUSED, mainly, BY THE Ukraine WAR.
And, of course, THE HUGE TRADE DEFICIT LEFT BY # 45.

@wildgrass saidA bit of a shallow look at the problem, Grass. He is facetiously thanking Biden for all of the misery. I'll humor you and say, with border, canceling pipe lines and basic inflation aside, , that he is only about 80% responsible for our misery. That would include high gas prices. With all the misery, and his personal problems, it is quite disingenuous for you fellers to never once comment about Biden in any negative manner. It is all a haze for us conservatives to read your disingenuous posts. I think I will start following Sonhouse.;
