| Economist Dean Baker: High Gas Prices Are Donald Trump's Fault. Trump demanded that Saudi Arabia cut back production back in 2020. According to Trump, he worked out a deal where OPEC producers would all agree to reduce their output. The reason we now have high oil prices is that they have not returned their production to pre-pandemic levels.
Hey, by the media's standards of what makes a politician responsible for an event in the world, this is practically airtight. It's more than a bit bizarre that Donald Trump literally boasted about getting oil producers to cut production, but somehow President Biden is held responsible for high gas prices. 4/14/22, Center for Economic And Policy Research (CEPR). |
| David Horsey, Seattle Times cartoonist: A big driver of inflation was the global supply chain breakdown that still has not been entirely resolved. Manufacturing and shipping disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic were the cause. The rising price of gas has been accelerated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Could Biden have prevented either the pandemic or Putin's war? Of course not. 4/29/2022 The Seattle Times. |
House Democrats just passed legislation designed to stop Big Oil's price gouging on gas and guess what? Every republiturd voted against it. It did pass, however. Now the The Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act goes to the Senate. Where it will likely fail due to republiturd opposition.
"The measure expressly prohibits the practice of setting fuel prices that are unconsciously excessive and encourages the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to pursue legal action against wrongdoers".
Democrats are trying to fix a problem caused by the former predisent and republiturds are blocking them. Yet they continue to blame Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats. Because they are terrible. And know many of their voters are stupid.
"United Spot" is a YouTuber who gets the LIKES by blaming President Joe Biden. One low IQ commenter says "Love your work!! It scares me how true it really is! Laughing and crying at the same time".
It's The Orange Turd's fault. But hey, shitty outcomes are his specialty. So, who's suprised
