Every thing you say is always a distortion or a lie , people check into this, his premise is a lie. Trump said it was empty when he came into office and he filled it back up. It was 95% full when he came into office, and it lowed every day that scumbag was in office. Scum bag wanted a big payoff to big oil and said he wanted to fill it up, it was 90% full at that time. scum bag and scum bag like people who pushed this thread lied from then on. at 90% full is not a reason to fill it up, especially at the request of scum like Trump. As patriots, you ignore anything scum like trump suggest.Remember When Democrats Blocked Trump from Filling the Strategic Oil Reserve While Gas Was Cheap?
In March, Joe Biden ordered the release of millions of barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve . . . It’s just too bad we didn’t load up the reserves when gas prices were much cheaper.
Oh, wait, Trump tried to do that. But Democrats stopped him.
“It was only two years earlier that Democrats blocked former President Trump from filling the reserve when oil was hovering around $24 per barrel,” reports Bloomberg. “Trump in March of 2020 was looking to stabilize the oil industry after Covid-19 hit in 2020 and crushed global petroleum demand. With oil at the time priced at about $24 a barrel, Republicans proposed spending $3 billion to fill up the reserve. But the idea became a political football in larger negotiations on trillions in coronavirus relief, with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer proclaiming that his party had blocked a ‘bailout for big oil.’”
This was an incredibly costly decision. According to Bloomberg, because of the Democrats’ grandstanding over “big oil” profits, the United States effectively lost billions in potential profits, not to mention that there was less supply
TheReaper says: The party that just can't shoot straight. Democrats do not have a clue when it comes to energy policy and they are hurting the lioves of millions of Americans with their green nonsense.
