I don’t mean to keep kicking the same Donkey, but it’s not dead yet, and they keep making it easy. Gas prices suck. Biden is blaming Putin. But we know that stinks worse than a dead rat under the front porch in July. And it’s about to stink a good bit more.
Joe isn’t just not taking responsibility like he said he would, and he is hiding the fact that he and his party are not just responsible. They are actively trying to make them higher!
President Joe Biden’s allies in Congress just months ago pressured oil executives to decrease outputs because of climate change, raising questions about the Democratic Party’s strategy to lower prices for consumers.
In late October, for example, the House Oversight and Reform Committee called in the CEOs of Exxon, BP, Shell, and Chevron to explain what steps they are taking to produce less oil and gas, with Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) alleging that “the world can’t wait” any longer. At the time, gas prices were hovering around a 10-year high.
If it makes them feel any better, the climate has changed—the political climate. The Oversight Committee was scheduled to meet Tuesday, March 8th, just two days ago, but the meeting was canceled without explanation.
I think I can explain.
Someone in the White House called the Hill and told them to shut that crap down until after this mess blows over. Screw the planet (no, they don’t care about the planet), this is a political disaster, and politics is all that matters.
And therein lies the secret ingredient. Everyone on the Left is involved in this scheme (except perhaps Joe Manchin). Their policy position by design will lower the oil supply because it will increase prices.
But wait, you say, didn’t Jen ‘Circle Back’ Psaki just say that the Biden Administration doesn’t “have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy”? Because it would drive up prices.
She did.
So, the official position of the Democrat White House is to “maintain supply” and not take credit for impeding it because those prices are out of hand (and it’s not their fault). While the unofficial position is for Democrats to hold congressional hearings demanding Oil companies reduce supply.
Which will do what, Jen? Make gas prices go up.
How do Democrats want to reconcile these adverse facts?
Might I suggest some mean tweets?
