US to release 172 million barrels from Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try to bring down gas prices

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Republicans criticized President Biden for draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to lower gas prices ahead of the 2022 midterms. Now President Trump is going to do the same thing by releasing 172 million barrels of oil to help lower prices ahead of the 2026 midterms.

During an interview Wednesday with WKRC Local 12 in Cincinnati, Trump was asked about tapping the reserve and said, “Well, we’ll do that and then we’ll fill it up.”
He added, “Right now we’ll reduce it a little bit, and that brings the prices down.” He didn't specify in that interview how many barrels of oil the U.S. would release.

It's an every day occurance

They blame someone for doing something and boo

Trump does the same thing and they cheer and say he's a genius.

It's tiring.

our wallet because iran has been and asshole for 40+ years and has been asking for it

short term pain.......long term again, think big picture here for the people suffering
since 1979, would you want to live like that?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Biden and democrats caused the need for tapping reserves by their policy. On purpose. Global warming bs.
Democrats are stupid and creepy.
If we had a democrat admin right now, the price of gas would be closer to $6 per.

 

[Augustine_]

We're energy independent bros. Why do we have reserves when we can just make it? Are we stupid?

 

[MostBoringManInTheWorld]

Mexico will pay for it!

Mexico. Will. Pay!

 

[Winco]

The spin is on.
It's OK now, since POSTRUMP is POTUS.

Refer to the anger .........

Not Good Donald.

What are you going to do about these rising gas prices?

Greedy. I believe oil company execs have stated they don't intend to increase gas refinery capacity in the US. How would it profit them?

 

[Lumpy 1]

Trump .. damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

Damn... Democrats are comical in a screwbally sorta way..

 

[cnm]

I understand it takes 3 to 5 years to build a refinery. If it isn't just lying hyperbole.

Trump accuses Biden of emptying US oil reserves​

New York Post
https://nypost.com › 2022/03/31 › trump-accuses-biden...




Mar 31, 2022 — Former President Donald Trump accused President Biden Thursday of draining America's strategic petroleum reserve, claiming he built it up to “100% full.”

“So after 50 years of being virtually empty, I built up our oil reserves during my administration, and low energy prices, to 100% full,” Trump said in a statement released by his Save America PAC.

“It’s called the Strategic National Reserves, and it hasn’t been full for many decades. In fact, it’s been mostly empty. It’s supposed to only be used for large-scale emergency or conflict,” Trump continued.

“Now I see where Biden has just announced he’s going to take what we so carefully and magically built, and [sic] what will be a futile attempt to reduce oil and gasoline prices. They will soon bring it down to empty again. It just never ends!”

Trump wanted to fill it up some months ago when oil was much cheaper and the Progs torpedoed it.

Seems to be a pattern here, Trump will criticize the opponent for doing something and the cult cheers and then he will turn around and do the same damn thing and the cult cheers. You clowns are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.
