* We're having a gas crisis, so let's shut down the oil pipelines. * We're having a crime wave, so let's shut down the prisons and defund police. * We're having a healthcare crisis, so let's fire the healthcare workers. * We're having a pandemic, so let's create unregulated borders. * We're having skyrocketing inflation, so let's pass a multi-trillion $$ Build Back Broke Bill
No pipeline carrying fuel for us has been shut down. Not happening So you want workers to infect patients Not happening Not happening.
When Trump was president the US was a net exporter of energy. What's changed since then? Why is Biden begging OPEC to increase oil output?
Simple. Because the priority of the left is to move us away from fossil fuels, at any cost. Your setting the cost. Bidens own Energy Secretary said the same thing. They know it's going to take time, and these increases in prices are worth the agenda. I wish more democrats would just be honest about that.
I'll give you one case that explodes your partisan BS: Today, Biden held a lease sale of the largest oil and gas lease, EVER. ... EIGHTY-MILLION ACRES and it's IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. Remember the Deepwater Horizon?
Yup. And now the Old Codgers are reversing Trump's massive Tax Hikes on the Filthy Rich. PARTY OF YOUTH UPDATE: Joe Biden is the first president to turn 79 while in office.
Trump = gas $2.20. Biden = gas $3.20. Heap big increase in one year. Trump had a better plan. His plan was pump, baby, pump. Biden's plan is shut down pumping and beg the Arabs for oil.
That's not a plan. Covid shutdown had an influence on US supply and demand Gas prices are up under Biden but prices under President Trump were much higher than you posted in the years before Covid. In 2018 gas prices under former President Trump were just under $3 per gallon Gas Prices the first year of the Trump administration were higher than the last year of the Obama administration The US still exports slightly more oil than it imports making us still energy independent He is not asking for more oil for us he is asking for world oil prices to be kept down.
Didn't say that was "a plan," it explains why he asked. The way you put it made it sound that he was asking for oil which he was not. You said former President Trump had a plan. It should be rather easy to tell us what that plan was. How about replying to the rest of my clarification about prices, supply and demand, oil independence.
Trump is why prices are higher "Trump told Saudi: Cut oil supply or lose U.S. military support" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...se-u-s-military-support-sources-idUSKBN22C1V4 "Trump threatens 'very substantial' tariffs on imported oil if Saudi Arabia and Russia can't reach a deal to push prices back up" https://www.insider.com/trump-threatens-saudi-arabia-russia-oil-tariffs-2020-4
