In a STUNNER of a Vote - GOP Votes Against Lowering Gas Prices/Price Gouging

[Burgermeister]

Classic dem strategy. Cause a problem then blame republicans for not supporting their false solution.

 

[justoffal]

We just voted to crackdown on price gouging at gas stations and every single republican voted no.

The Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act would give the President the power to issue an Energy Emergency Declaration that would make it unlawful to increase gasoline and home energy fuel prices in an excessive or exploitative manner.

A bill to help against Price Gouging and corporations cutting the "little guy" by messing with oil and gas prices in the country was voted "Nay" by every House GOP member.

These are the same folks who go to any camera they can find and complain about gas prices. Thoughts?


EDIT: Full Bill (thanks to Kosh)

What price gouging? Where?

 

[justoffal]

Gas prices are the SAME EVERYWHERE so according to the left EVERY GAS STATION OWNER IS A CRIMINAL.

Leftists are too stupid to be writing legislation

They don't know the difference between price and inflation.

No, they are not. My town charges 30 cents more that a city across a bridge that is 3 miles away.

And EVERYONE in your town charges the same within a cent or two.

Don't be a dumb twat. You know damn well what I ment.

Fucking hacks

This was a rejection of more DemoKKKrat fascism, nothing else.

By the way, your president said he would "end fossil fuels". Now you want to keep them flowing at cheaper prices? Which is it?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

It was against their political interests.

Are you seriously FOR price controls like this?

Say it ain't so.

Republicans aren't idiots like you. So-called "price gouging" is a myth. Supply and demand is what determines price.

 

[bripat9643]

They can't do anything that might help.

They're afraid Biden would get credit. They can't have that.

voting Democrats out of office is what will help.

 

[jc456]

where's the impeachment of the guy that created the high gas price in the first place first day in the WH?

Come on Demofks, where's the legislation?

 

[JustAGuy1]

Is their political interest to make things as shit as possible so they have a shot at the 2022 Midterms?

Or is their political interest to help Americans who voted for them?

Don't be stupid, Joe is doing that all by himself.

well actually price per barrel does that.

 

[OKTexas]

well actually price per barrel does that.

The gas supply usually follows the price per barrel, but refineries shutting down for maintenance and switching to summer blends also effects the price of gas. Summer blends are more expensive.

this null wouldn’t lower gas prices

and price gauging is against the law already…if it was going on, i would expect the dems, xiden, and dem govs to enforce the laws

no need for this

 

[struth]

why won’t the dems vote to suspend the federal gas tax?

Virtue signaling BS bill. The leftist green freaks and Biden caused this shit.

Sorry. You fuckers burned the house down. No one needs to listen to you.

DURR

Brilliant analysis

But, as you can see, it would ultimately be a judge who decides if an increase was unlawful.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

They don't know the difference between price and inflation.

But you do?
