Liberals, what should your guy/gal do to encourage lower gas prices?

[Crepitus]

Just curious now that gas prices have skyrocketed. How do they lower them for working Americans?

Oil prices are set on the open market. There isn't much a president can do to affect them. Releasing so of the federal stockpile is about it, as far as I know. Maybe put some political pressure on oil producing nations.

Trump disagreed and proved you wrong, we didn't have these problems when he opened up more drilling opportunities for the oil companies. Also fracking lowered the gas prices under Obama while he tried to stop them.

What did tRump do that lowered oil prices? Oil companies haven't been investing in new wells with the prices so low, so that's a bust.

Its called supple and demand.

Great! Here’s a thought.... increase supply to exceed the demand and expand the transport and refinery options to leave US less susceptible to a disruption based on global supply and demand and/or disruption. The guy/gal in the White House won’t do such a move. Therefore, they are accountable for higher gas prices; especially when they refuse to do anything about it. Blaming capitalists is not viable.

The profit margins for the oil business hover around 7%. You don't want capitalism, you want cheap oil like the oil business runs on altruism.

Why don't you demand that bread cost 75 cents a loaf?

When your entire economy is tied to oil, who doesn’t want oil to be as affordable as possible? Since you brought profit margins into it, the governments make substantially more in the price of gas than do the oil and gas companies.

Cheap oil causes US producers NOT to invest in rigs, drilling, exploration or new refineries.

If oil and gas are cost-prohibitive, consumption declines. Then what do the oil producers do? In your scenario, market efficiency will limit the number of oil and gas firms (optimal number of suppliers).

He opened up drilling on federal lands.

What makes you think they want to? They've always hated the use of fossil fuels, and I think the last year has shown us that they really like people sitting around and having no life whatsoever.

 

[Cecilie1200]

It is a capitalist issue not a government issue.

So it is time to give Capitalists free reign? Drill off shore and build pipelines? Government keep out. It’s a Capitalist issue.

Bring the prices down enough and you destroy domestic production.

Typical leftist. Ignore the problem at hand, find the least likely thing to be of any concern, and then try to deflect onto that.

They want higher gas prices to get you in smaller Euro toy cars and electric. You're wasting your breath

You are so full of shit and I know I don’t want to be anywhere near you when you finally explode.

Well, ask Individual One to tell his boyfriend Putin to call off the Russian ransomware crooks.

Exactly.... but they also don’t want the blame for higher gas prices and inflation.

We all knew what was going to happen if the Progressive Socialists came back into power. They have the god complex going on. They are right in everything they do but much of it ends up in flames. Extreme feminism has given a certain percentage of the women in the work force that have decent jobs with many of them taking jobs that men should be doing and are being denied. Most of the rest have to work and not have the choice of working. So we have many single mothers working and raising children and struggling. We have many married women doing the same. Taxes have risen massively to put women in the workforce over the last half century and it has helped to keep raise in salaries down. An there are women today who want to get married and men are not into it. The consequences of some victories can make things sour.

Not a damn thing.
Democrats prefer to let the markets work.
Unlike the GOP who demands a government solution for everything.

If Democrats truly believed that, they would not be mandating arbitrary minimum wages or sticking egregious taxes, regulatory, and legal parameters on free enterprise.

Believed what?
That the government should take over the pipelines?

Sorry, that's pure GOP blather.

Didn't you listen? Private enterprise.

When it's more profitable they will drill and pump more. Basic economics, my tRumpling friend.

Yep and Trump let them drill us into energy independence and low gas prices. Biden is doing the opposite and it's showing, my liberal whimp ass friend.
