    My brother sent me this photo of a gas pump in New Jersey today. Gas prices have nearly doubled since Biden took office. Not only is he killing jobs, he's going to raise prices on everything which will mostly hurt the poor and unemployed.

    @MissingMayor what part of NJ do you live in and what are the gas prices like? This picture was taken in Lodi.

    Welcome to Biden's America.

    That's a bargain! Where I live it's been over $4.25 a gallon since I can remember.

    Futures are up because of the vaccines. Has nothing to do with Biden. My god, you think Biden controls the world oil supply. Smh

    It started the day he took office, he owns it. Isn't that the way it works? And besides killing jobs on his first day, he raised the price of insulin. Did you hear about that or did CNN forget to mention it?

    Oh FFS, do a LITTLE research.... it's the least you could do (which still seems to be too much to ask)...

    Down in FL gas prices went up quickly right after the election. NOT coincidental at all:) it was flat since July 2020.

    In California our prices soared right after Biden took office and they continue to rise.

    I don’t see how you say he is responsible from day one when you say trump wasn’t responsible for anything after 4 years but I guess it is good to see you can ascribe blame after being unable to do so for several years.

    And no, Biden didn’t raise the price of insulin. He paused a trump EO that had not even gone into effect yet... where do you get your news from?

    You guys are a hoot.

    I am sure you also cried when gas prices went to > $4 a gallon under your boy, GWB. Or when the price of gasoline went up after Trump took office. Or, maybe not.

    Could it be places believe the economy is going to improve and thus... supply and demand...

    If trump was President and everything spiked on his first day he would be screaming conspiracy, wonder why Biden isn’t doing that?

    Hey, the economy is going up instead of down. Country is opening up instead of staying locked up. Things are getting better than last year.

    There are world events that effect the prices. And of course people guessing and predicting what’s going to happen. When Trump took office people panicked. Then he brought 4 years of peace in the ME. Biden was supposed to be the savior. Not much confidence in his abilities I guess. And then he starts bombing people. :)

    Killing the Keystone pipeline and his previous statements about fracking have had an impact one month into his regime.

    Which makes me want an energy source that is less reliant on speculation. We are being played as pawns

    If you are using bombing as a metric, how did trump bring peace in the ME when he bombed more times than Obama did in his first to days and Biden is slotting somewhere in between the two of them?

    The pipeline has no effect on supply. It's a route, not a well.
