Democrats need to come clean on gas prices

[BlindBoo]

I am glad some of you Trumpers are finally coming around to my side of things......


I am glad that you are now more in favor of government nationalizing our oil industry and setting prices....

Because in your pathetic attempt to blame Biden, that is exactly what you are calling for...government control of the oil market....


I hope yall feel that way about the rising rent too.....government needs to step in and put price caps on that too...

Nixon tried wage and price controls. Didn't work.

 

[jknowgood]

The took responsibility for a Bidens first year when the economy was rebounding from a pandemic and take responsibility for the low unemployment numbers, they mark those as his accomplishment.

Lol, people going back to work after Fauci made their jobs go away. Hey Biden has been a screw up his entire life. Let him feel good for once. Lol

 

[jknowgood]

Biden didn't do anything...the economy is a disaster...no one can afford food or water....gas...nothing...what should Biden do to fix it?

Here is your chance...go!!!



While you answer that question with non-sense.....let's talk reality....because I believe words matter...


Why did unemployment numbers stop mattering to you the minute trump left office??


Now it aint fun to say "Lowest unemployment in 50 years" anymore?? Why? You don't have to give Biden any credit for any of it....just say this is Trump's doing....that's cool...won't bother me in the least...I am not a Biden sycophant...however, reality matters...

Joe Biden got unemployment lower than any time between the '70s and 2019 but he's getting slammed over expensive gas | Fortune

The unemployment rate is lower than it's been for the vast majority of the last 50 years, but Americans haven't cared with inflation eating their wallets.

fortune.com

and speaking of gas prices......it's ok to pretend that oil producers have less to do with fuel prices at the pump than presidents do....it would be disingenuous ...but how can you be a Trump supporter without it?


Now Biden is destroying the fossil fuel industry...he is doing a bad job of it.....because how are they making record profits?? Not a couple of them....but every one is making record profits...how??

Largest oil and gas producers made close to $100bn in first quarter of 2022

Shell made $9.1bn in profit, almost three times what it made in the same period last year, while Exxon raked in $8.8bn

www.theguardian.com

How oil production still so high?? Shouldn't Biden's policies be having oil production at near zero??

The U.S. oil industry is gushing, with record production expected in 2023 | Fortune

High crude oil prices will drive U.S. oil production to record highs in 2023, the federal government said.

fortune.com

And since no one has answered the question yet.......can you tell me what Trump policy lowered gas to $2.00?? and how come he didn't do it in 2019? or 2018?

Go back to Trump's energy policies. The ones Biden executive ordered out.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

The Dempanic is what caused oil prices to crater. When the cowering UNiparty shut down the country & world, there was no demand & prices went way down.
Nobody on our side is calling for nationalizing jack shit & you know it.
Your socialism & collectivism rhetoric only works on fellow indoctrinated sheeple.
Your trolling posts are Transparent & tired Buffy

In other words, it wasn't trump that lowered gas prices, it was Democrats that lowered them? Cool...


And yes, you are calling for nationalizing the oil industry if you are dumb enough to think the president sets gas prices....All you have to do is tell me what policy lowers fuel prices...why is that so hard??


I know of a bill passed in the House to prevent price gouging...Most of the Reps voted against it tho, but I am sure the Republicans in the Senate will pass it right?? Since they care bout gas prices so much...

Senate plows ahead with price gouging bill

Democrats are using gouging legislation as a messaging tool as broader policy on energy and climate change remains stalled amid record gasoline prices.

www.eenews.net

but I know how much Republicans like to protect the oil oligarchs while pretending to be against the corporate elites

So again..what policy will make fuel prices 2.00?? and why stop at 2.00...why not 1.50? What Trump policy did that?? I'll wait

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Like??


Is there a reason you can't name these policies??


If you are going to tell me about "Keystone" -- then you are a bigger moron than I thought...

 

[bendog]

Democrats, how much pain is too much when fighting climate change?

Is there no limit if we are going to save the planet, or is there a line in the sand where you will draw the line?

I am reminded of this prophetic quote from C. S. Lewis

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”​

And if you are really sincere about this, and not one of a myriad of souless politicians ready to cash in on all of this rhetoric, why not turn to nuclear power? It is the only carbon free and viable energy source that can meet the energy needs of the world.

every one of your itemized listings from Koch Industries has not yet occurred. Are you attempting to outdo Poindexter on irony? LOL

 

[Resnic]

They won't even acknowledge during his campaign Biden said "I will declare war on oil" or was it fossil fuels? He said he would screw us. And no one paid any attention they cheered him for it even.

This is one of the rare cases Biden actually did what he said he would. The only time he has ever followed through on a promise is when it's something negative.

So you would blame Putin

LOL.

So the DNC declaring war against fossil fuels during the Obama administration has had nothing to do with the increased costs of today




That is what you are trying to get us to believe?

So things will get worse when they all are implemented?

Do you anticipate $20 a gallon gas when they are?

Biden is just a mindless pawn.

But those pulling his strings view human beings merely as a virus that is destroying the climate that needs exterminated



You can see this in the media they give us.

Again, reading comprehension isn't your strength.
Nobody says diaper dude is setting the fuel prices. What we say is his engineered & controlled buffoonery are the main driver requiring the prices to be so high.
You can shove your price controls & other collectivist control measure up with your rodent.
Reverse the govt policy of Obstructing & shutting down fossil fuels in favor of a "cleaner, greener" fantasy for morons & the market will take care of the rest.
Exactly opposite of the Marxist BS you believe in

BTW, it's nice to see you owning the destruction the Dempanic caused.
We should all learn a lesson & stop letting bed wetting cowards take over the world every time you hear a scary story

Nobody told Biden to do the extremist things he is doing but extremists. Oil is price sensitive to any slowing down, stoppage of flow, rumors or anything related. Government is not a producer. It is an inhibitor. Prices are affected by it. The night of coup in Nov. 2020 the prices were changing.

We were energy independent under Trump. How about we go back to that. Trump's policies worked.

What does energy independent mean...not just the buzz term


I mean tell me how that works in your mind??


Seriously, tell me how that energy independent played out in everyday life


By the way, why do you keep ignoring the fat that oil production is still high.....so are you saying we went from being "ENERGY INDEPENDENT" to not in the span of a few months...how?

Even tho, we are still "Energy Independent"

Surprise! The U.S. Is Still Energy Independent

The Energy Information Administration recently posted December export numbers that showed the U.S remained energy independent in 2021.

Do you just say words to make you feel better?

None of the policies effected OPEC+. They have the biggest influence on oil prices (gas) not the US. US rig count bottomed out in June of 2020.

 

[BluesLegend]

Fossil fuels are in EVERYTHING!!

Everything is made from it, fertilized by it, and runs on it.

But the democrat solution is to just use less and pay more

Meanwhile, they demonize carbon free nuclear power cuz it is "bad" they say.

What many may not understand is, nuclear power technology has come a long way to the point where you need not worry about melt downs anymore. Also, it is the only viable solution that is carbon free.

As a result, I think that those who oppose nuclear power don't really believe carbon emissions are destroying the planet.

Or they are just stupid.

And why are Democrats so determined to destroy the USA's fossil fuel advantage? Because without the tree hugger climate change morons Dems can't win elections so Dems screw us all over just so they can get those idiots to vote for them.

 

[mamooth]

Sorry Dims, but you must now face the inconvenient truth sooner or later

Sure.

Production cratered under Trump. It's gone way up under Biden.

Oil prices all around the world have gone up, and Biden does not control the world.

Thus, blaming Biden would be a clear indication of mental illness, generally induced by sore-loser butthurt.

Trumpists, why do uyopiu think Trump made production crater? My guess is that it's the usual conservative plan being implemented, where they deliberately wreck the economy, then blame Democrats for not fixing it fast enough. Sadly, that plan often works

 

[BluesLegend]

Except it is not......


Are you stupid enough to think gas was 2.00 a gallon in 2020 because of Trump's brilliant policies??

Back when crude was under $40 a barrel and people were being laid off left and right in the perto industry??

Are you that ******* delusional??

Cool....name me the specific Trump policy that made gas be 2.00 a gallon....

Good luck with that lie this Nov during the elections.

 

[BluesLegend]

Name one specific policy of Biden’s that brought unemployment down? Name one Biden policy that helped boost 2021 from a bounce back from 2020?

Biden sure the hell took credit for that.

It stopped raining in time for my tee time today, Biden/Dems take credit.

 

[BlindBoo]

We were energy independent under Trump. How about we go back to that. Trump's policies worked.

We were energy independent in 2021 under Biden too.

The United States was a total petroleum net exporter in 2020 and 2021​

In 2021, the United States exported about 8.63 million barrels per day (b/d) and imported about 8.47 million b/d of petroleum,1 making the United States an annual total petroleum net exporter for the second year in a row....

Oil imports and exports - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

U.S. crude oil imports sources including OPEC and Persian Gulf, and top five source countries of U.S. oil imports and destinations of U.S. crude oil exports.

www.eia.gov

It's still a feel good but mostly meaningless statistic with regards to world oil prices because we are still oil dependent and have been since before 1960.

 

[bendog]

JMO, but we fucked up in both Obama's second and Trump's term in not pursuing using Natl gas to move trucks. You may recall those T Boone Pickens commercials and ..... even dick cheney.
