Ga$ Has Doubled Since Biden Took Over

@earl-of-trumps said
Way to go, Joltin' Joe.

When Biden took the helm on January 20 2021, gas in the US was $2.40 per gallon

"The national average price for gas has reached $4.86, according to AAA. That’s 25 cents higher than last week and up 59 cents in just one month.

By the time Biden and the Dem party are done, everything will be doubled in price.
A lot of stuff already is close to double. It'll be triple price by the time Biden is gone.
But it's all going to be Trump's fault in some way according to them.

Do any of y'all read....you know, besides FOX?
Inflation, in all sectors, is a world wide problem, of which,
President Biden has little control.

@earl-of-trumps said
Two things about that, Jimm,

#1 when people go to the polls in November, they won't care one iota who is to blame for inflation, only that they are an unhappy lot and the current admin has not fixed the problem.

#2 Biden printed off enough funny money to sink a battleship. What,, you thought it was free money, Jimm?

In 2018 and 2019 $1.5 billion was spent on the Keystone XL pipeline. Then, Jan 20, 2020 due to an election outside the control of investors, all that investment went up in smoke. With that kind of unpredictability in regards to investment, it's no surprise that oil companies would want to hedge their investments to safeguard their capital positions.

Tell me why any oi ...[text shortened]... ould risk investing in new production as long as there is a chance a Democrat will become president.

@Techsouth has a point, Jimm, government scares away investors. Government can crush your company at the wave of a bill. *poof*. NOt good for America.

No, they should enforce antitrust laws.
The oil refiners in the USA are price fixing.

Without government investment cannot occur because it relies on the government to protect property and enforce the rule of law

Antitrust laws are not being broken.

According to secretary of the treasury, Janet Yellen, "price gouging" is not what is driving inflation.
Janet Yellen served under Obama, and was brought back in by Biden. She's as *democratic* party as you get.

Fear is GREAT for dictators however. That is what Trump thrives on, laughs about.

NO ONE IS TRYING TO SCARE INVESTORS,
except, maybe TUCKER.
Y'all preach the fear,
as most everyone knows, fear is bad for economies.
