Nobody ever fixed an economy by trying to do something else

Our leaders cannot fix our economy if they are focused on reducing carbon emisions, providing "equity," fixing some other country's economy, helping people whose country's have worse economies than ours, or anything else that distracts them from fixing our economy.
 
Our leaders have practically no means at their disposal to "fix" the economy (whatever that means). Big business made sure of that.

The have absolutely no means to stop the climate from changing, nor right historic wrongs, nor fix the economies of other countries.

They can start fixing ours. They can lift restrictions on drilling for energy, secure the border, and cut regulations. It worked for Trump, so unless you are claiming Trump has more talent than Joe Biden, it should work for anyone.

What motive does the oil industry have to increase production?

Did it though?

Trump took over in the midst of what turned out to be the longest period of economic expansion since the Great Depression. He kept it going with a sugar high from the tax cuts and ever expanding government spending, and even then he was asking for negative interest rates. When the Fed raised interest rates just a tiny bit the economy was impacted far more than an actual great economy should have been

Recessions are built into our system, it is why we have averaged one every 8 years since the Great Depression.

Trump didn't do shit. Giving away the store to big business lobbyists has never done a thing for the greater economy. No one buys the trickle down bullshit anymore.

We are exporting more than we ever have and we are producing more than we consume....back under the previous admin that was called "energy independence"

While there is a small amount of truth in your statement, they certainly have the means to not make the economy worse. Excessive spending during times of inflation while blaming business is the worst thing they can do. Luckily for them their supporting constituents have no idea how the economy works and can be fooled into believing that you can spend your way out of debt etc.

Biden "exported" oil to the Chinese and others by depleting 30% of our strategic oil reserves. A bad policy anytime but particularly while rattling his rusty saber at Putin.

He'll stop that after the election and gas will skyrocket again.

You're arguing theory against results.

The oil sold out of the SPR does not count as exported.

I am not arguing anything, I am stating facts.

We are exporting more oil than at any time in our nations history

You want a source to a negative? Really?

Since it is your claim it is counted, why not support your claim.
Exports are exports. If you claim some special status for the strategic reserve that makes sending it out of the country not exporting it, then it is up to you to explain and back up that verbal gymnastics. You really just thought that up? You didn't read that somewhere?

Golfing Gator, if I say shotgun deaths are not counted in firearms deaths, and you ask me for proof is that asking me to "source a negative?"

If you buy a cow and then sell it to someone in Mexico is is not being counted as an export.

You have just no common sense at all.
