    LOL Sorry I didn't catch this what a crock of crap. We didn't hit 12m a day at any time in 2021. Trump didn't cut production when oil was zero dollars a barrel. Good grief you lose money drilling for it number 1 number 2 if Trump had that power why hasn't dementia done it? Why hasn't he lowered regulation to increase US supply to the 12million per day we were pumping in 2019? I mean damn at 120 bucks a barrel you would think Biden could make that happen? You Forever Trump in your head guys are beyond silly.

    1) I said we are now, not last year
    2) That's correct. Look it up. I think I left a link on it. I'll accept your apology now.

    Didn't say we did, I said NOW.
    He didn't here, He asked the Saudis to. That's an easy fact to check
    My point is we do that now but the Saudis won't increase their production to what is was in 2019.
    These are easy facts to check.

    Well, taking in to fact that, under Trump, there were 36,000 permits and after ByDumb took office he axed all of them but the 9000 we keep hearing about :) Another fun fact, 9000 holes to discover oil is pretty much NOTHING!

    I guess you think every hole poked hits oil, right ;)
    I know, oil is as easy as this to find ;)

    Why Joe Biden and the Democrats want U.S. citizens to suffer with lower standards of living, terrible energy policy, and to play into Russia and OPEC's hands is beyond and reasonable and sane person.

    A lot depends on whether we can accomplish the stated goal, and whether we can also mitigate the potential harm.

    This same policy may be justifiable - including the sacrifice it may entail at a different time. To be frank, people have been asking for answers to this inflation all year long to no avail. I don't blame Biden for it because most of its contributors were out of his control and the federal govt's control. He did not create the virus or cause the myriad of labor shortages it induced globally and he did not create the supply chain bottleneck for product misdistribution. I don't even blame Biden for not yet coming up with a viable plan quickly because so much of this is out of federal hands. Its complicated stuff.

    But we still have the inflation, and it still demands an answer, that he does not have. Until he does, we dare not expose the country and its working poor to exasperating circumstances. As those of us who are 60 yrs or older recall, inflation is an insidious cancer that can be very hard to cut out of the economy with precision. It historically takes the intentional creation of a recession once it starts metastasizing.

    On the other end we ask ourselves if this policy will really accomplish its stated goal. Its such an obvious sanction, that we all know it must have been discussed at virtually every ally conversation from the moment this threat in troop build-up started, and yet it was discarded as impractical because Biden simply could not get buy-in by those European countries. If they are pressured into it now, it simply won't be enforced.

    Heard on Tucker that any sanctions are hurting the US and western Europe far more than Russia. Natural gas and gasoline is far cheaper in Russia.

    Biden had an envoy meet with the Saudis to beg them to increase production. The Saudis went straight to Putin to tell him what Biden was trying to do.

    “Heard on Tucker” = Russian disinformation that you are helping to spread.

    What’s this story about Biden / Saudis / Putin? Got any source for that?

    In this case, yes, it is Russian disinformation that America and Western Europe are hurting more from the sanctions than Russia.

    Depends on which sanctions one is talking about .. in general - overall .. one would think hurting Russia more .. have to see the info to see if it is disinfo.. see what we are talking about. In some areas we are hurting more for sure .. lots of them .. not so simple simon..

    And it remains unrefuted then as does my msg #47. All you do is demand people prove things and when we do then claim they don't matter.

    And take the time to read my sig.

    What has Biden and his adminstration done to INCREASE domestic supply and YOU prove it with links.
