I accept your admission of how biased you are. That wasn't really so hard, was it?
Things Are Going So Great Under Biden

It used to be under $4 before Obama.
Really?Well, your messiah is touting that they are increasing.
Didn't know he was political.
Thing is, slugger, you have never heard me side with republicans with their spending habits. Both parties spend way too much.
Don't need more taxes, just need less spending. LESS SPENDING

still waiting for some examples.
Here is a good read for you,
Big Oil isn’t as rich as everybody thinks
Big oil companies aren't the money-gushers they once were, and efforts to punish them for high gas prices could make the problem worse.
Oil companies have always been an easy target for Government to attack, but they have never succeeded
in proving any gouging. Year in and year out their margins are less than incredible.
Yeah. but teabaggers have worn that on their sleeve since Reagan, and haven't done it since.
In fact, increased spending.
Trump touted infrastructure.
Good plan.
Never got done.
Trump touted healthcare.
Good plan.
Never got done.
Biden has done both to reduce cost, to CONSUMERS.
Companies employing Americans in America.
Pharmaceutical prices regulated.

The corrupt subhuman piece of shit Gavin Newsom, that infests the position of California's Governor, has lately been making a lot of noise about going after the oil industry; trying to tell us that they are to blame for the high prices that Californians pay for gasoline, above what residents in other states pay.
The oil companies earn about 5¢ to 10¢ in profit on ever gallon of gasoline. California imposes the highest taxes of any state, on gasoline, and between that and the federal taxes, government takes not earns) about $1.85 on every gallon of gasoline. And that doesn't count the costs of the excessive, gratuitous regulatory burdens that California imposes on the oil industry, far in excess of what the industry bears in other states.
Yes, consumers are being screwed when we buy gasoline, especially here in California. But it is not the oil industry that is screwing us; it's government.

Nobody’s demanding that Apple, Pfizer or Citi pay a windfall profits tax, even though they’re among the most profitable U.S. companies year after year. Big Oil is the punching bag for familiar and obvious reasons: Gas prices well above $4 per gallon are pounding drivers, and everybody wants a villain. By the nature of their business model, oil firms earn more when the cost of the raw material they provide goes up. That’s because they make long-term fixed investments to extract and process oil that are more profitable when the mineral itself is more valuable, and less profitable when that value falls. So oil firms prosper in inverse proportion to consumers, making them a perennial bogeyman.Here is a good read for you,

Then why are teabaggers blaming the government, for the price of fuel?
How much oil and gas comes from federal territory?
USAFacts
https://usafacts.org › articles › how-much-oil-and-gas-...
Nov 4, 2022 — Roughly a quarter of all crude oil and more than a tenth of all natural gas was produced on territory owned by the federal government in 2021.
Teabaggers ignore the 75% that is NOT controlled by the federal government and concentrate on that 25% they do control?
Government is is the biggest employer hiring Americans under Biden.
One thing you have to remember is that Pelosi never gave anything to Trump.
It's tough to do infrastructure when Bills get stalled in Congress.
Healthcare? Not the government's job to get in the healthcare business.
It isn't an entitlement.
Biden's reduced costs? For what? Inflation has eaten up any cost savings.
Pharmaceutical prices regulated? Let me know when that happens.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that government is taxing and regulating the shit out of the oil industry, necessarily increasing the cost to consumers.
Like I said before, the oil companies earn 5¢ to 10¢ in profit on every gallon of gasoline, while government takes up to $1.85 in taxes on each gallon; and that doesn't include the costs of the excessive gratuitous regulatory burdens that get passed along to us in the form of higher prices.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS is a political party's choice rather than a big business choice,?
Maybe supported by both party's? because as money has increased influence on politics,
Big money May have more influence in policies?

You really are a stupid little twat, aren't you?
For one thing, because Sponge Brains-Shits Pants cut off all NEW Federal land leases right after he stole the Office.
For another thing, our currency isn't worth what it used to be. It takes 4 dollars to buy what $3 used to buy. Especially in fuel.
For another thing, Sponge Brains - Shits Pants insulted the biggest oil producer in the MidEast.... MBS.
Of course, you wouldn't know that because -- You're a stupid little twat.
Go back to Tea-bagging. It seems that's your field of expertise
They don't always have "HUGE PROFITS".
Congress has had congressional hearings to prove what you think. They came up with eggs each time.
SO?Government is is the biggest employer hiring Americans under Biden.
The thing you have to remember , is it didn't.One thing you have to remember is that Pelosi never gave anything to Trump.
It's tough to do infrastructure when Bills get stalled in Congress.
Trump never had an infrastructure plan, just a campaign slogan to fool his gullible cult.
But Trump seemed to think so.
After all, he had a plan.
Already did.

Live within your fucking means. Stop crying about it.
Smarter than ANY teabagger.
SO, that's only 25% of the total oil leases issued.
So, it's the 25% that will break the company, NOT the 75%?
Again, blaming the "gubmint" for what corporations are doing?
SO?
They also attacked the Us on 9/11, teabaggers like their dear leader think they are our "Friends"
