So, despots and dictators are the ones that are keeping gas prices up. And will never let those prices go down for American consumers – got it!
And this is why Progressives hate us that understand history – even if just a year old:
Jayapal: Gas Prices Will Go Up ‘No Matter What’ and We Need to Move Off Fossil Fuels
On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Cross Connection,” Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) argued that we have to move off of fossil fuels so we’re “free of the ability of dictators to blackmail us over oil and gas,” and that increasing domestic oil production wouldn’t keep gas prices from increasing because “no matter what we do, prices of gas are going to go up.”
Jayapal said, “[I]f we ever want to be truly free of the ability of dictators to blackmail us over oil and gas, we should be investing right here at home in renewable energy technologies. We should be weaning ourselves off fossil fuels so that this situation that we’re in does not happen again, in terms of feeling like we can’t stop Russian oil and gas imports because it’s going to drive up prices here at home. By the way, no matter what we do, prices of gas are going to go up. So, any Republicans who try to say that it’s drill, baby, drill, and that solves the problem, it’s wrong. That is not the case. We are going to see gas prices rise, but it is in service to trying to quell a dictator.”
That there was nothing that could be done is the sad story the Democrats told us before. Give up, they urged. Not gonna happen, they proclaimed. What they meant is that THEY weren’t going to let it happen as gas prices went up under Obama. It was by design – he told us that he wanted to transform the US and this was one way of doing it. He wanted to make sure that moving around when YOU wanted to was going to be too expensive for normal people. He was going to transform your lives – you had no choice. By Design – Energy Poverty. Travel Poverty.
Dictator by Democratic means. Isn’t this what Biden, the Democrat Progressives and Eco-socialists doing to us again? Acting no better than despots? She complained that it is despots that are now are holding the American population hostage now. Self-awareness much?
A political talking point simply to give them cover as to what THEY want to do anyways. But then she’s saying that NOTHING will change if we start “drill, baby, drill” all over again? We certainly were told that by Obama & Biden doing that drilling more wouldn’t work.
Then Trump came along and said “Yes, we WILL drill” and prices DID come down and were continuing to drop here in my local area up until Biden was elected. Knowing what he’d do, prices starting to go up – future Energy Poverty was coming for us all. Day One of the Biden Administration, he made it official. Prices started to rise just on the expectations of “what’s the next gas shoe to drop” after he killed off Keystone pipeline.
And Jayapal, like Granholm and the rest of the Democrat Gas Despots, are just running yet another con on the American people. THEY know that prices can come down – they just don’t want them to. It’s all about, for them, having Government make all those decisions – not us. Just like with RGGI (with Sununu’s continued blessing of it enslaving NH Citizens, it’s all about putting the rest of us into Energy Poverty.
So, NH, what are you going to do about CongressCritters Chris Pappas and Annie Kuster, the NH based Democrats who are all in on this shill, come November?
Biden did this, Granholm is doing it, Jayapal is running cover – and Pappas and Kuster are supporting them all.
