Biden also said he was going to beat covid. and to cure cancer. when is that cure coming, do you know?

“if I’m elected, we’re going to cure cancer.”

well, he was elected. When does he fulfill his promise? my mother in law died of cancer last may, that cure sure would have been nice.

TV coverage amplifies the GOP’s false claims about gas prices

Unsurprisingly, the most egregious examples of the media regurgitating right-wing talking points on gas prices often come from Fox News. White House reporter Peter Doocy has parroted oil industry talking points at White House briefings and insinuated that the administration is being dishonest about the cause of inflation


Harris Faulkner Did the same thing with Mike Sommers
President and CEO at American Petroleum Institute Just parroting his talking points as if he was a Fox contributor

TV news media fails to confront Republicans about their provably false allegations. You simply do not hear TV interviewers ask Republicans: “Since the Keystone XL Pipeline would not have increased supply, why do you keep using its cancellation to attack the White House?” “Energy companies can pump all the oil they want from private lands and even begin drilling on lands with unused leases, so how is this the White House’s fault?” (Even more rarely do you get a succinct explanation that oil prices are set globally in the international marketplace.)

Republicans just can’t tell their supporters the Truth. It’s that simple

"President Trump and his administration are clearly more committed to helping pad the pockets of corporate executives and wealthy shareholders than helping middle-class families. It is time for this president to stand up to OPEC on behalf of the forgotten men and women he promised to remember and do what is necessary to lower gas prices." Chuck You Schumer


leftists can't seem to decide if we get so little gas from russia that it can't possibly be the reason for high gas prices or if putin is to blame for high gas prices

you’re “inspired” by people
who make false promises to desperate and dying americans.

that’s a little weird.

you claim Trump “fleeced” his supporters, it are “inspired” by any cheap snake oil
salesman who’s a democrat.

It’s not “fleecing” when democrats make impossible promises.

for the 100th time ( will it ever sink in with you?), he’s partly responsible for gas prices.

it’s not his fault gas went up when covid waned and demand increased.

it’s not entirely his fault that gas went up because russia invaded ukraine.

he is 100% responsible for the degree to which gas went up because he is rightly seen as unfriendly to fossil fuels

You skipped the major price driver

The big fracking companies — Devon, Pioneer, and Continental — burned by multiple boom and bust cycles over the years, pledged in February not to increase production until 2023. “Whether it’s $150 oil, $200 oil, or $100 oil, we’re not going to change our growth plans,” Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield said during a Bloomberg Television interview. “If the president wants us to grow, I just don’t think the industry can grow anyway.”

In ExxonMobil’s February earnings call, Woods said the company’s focus remains on price per barrel over volume. “One of the primary objectives we’ve had in looking at the portfolio is less about volume and volume targets and more about the quality and profitability of the barrels that we’re producing.” he said. “That’s been the focus. And as we move forward, we’ll continue — you’ll continue to see the quality of the barrels or profitability of the barrels increase.”

what % of america’s production is fracking versus traditional
drilling? a si cere question.

if that was THE major driver, is there an article that can tell us when that quote was issued, and what happened to the price immediately after?

i think the major driver was increased demand after covid started weakening its grip.

The oil producers publicly stated that they wouldn’t increase production because price increased and you need more proof?
What did the last guy do when the price of oil went through the floor?
What was done then is still affecting the market.
Believe it or not, production and supply will achieve a reasonable equilibrium.
Or would you would prefer state control?

U.S. oil tumbles more than 8%, dips below $100 per barrel

"Does Biden get the credit? Or only when it goes up?"

You know me better than to ask. If he gets blame on the way up. he gets credit on the way down. It's still WAY up on his watch, that's what matters, not what happens on one day.

"So put a number on the degree he’s responsible please "

Hard to do. In the middle of November 2020 (election time), oil was under $40 a barrel. It's skyrocketed since then.

Did you blame Bush for the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008? If so, what did he do, to contribute to it?

"because for Republicans it 100% no matter what Putin did"

And for democrats, it's 100% on Putin no matter what Biden did. The dems are saying inflation is because of Putin. We had 30-year high inflation before Russia invaded. America's not buying it.

I never said it was all Biden, I said 500 times it was mostly an inevitable result of demand increasing post-covid. How many times do I have to say that?

he made it clear he was going to appease the greenies on the left. Killed a pipeline and ended new leases on public lands. that gives the perception that he’s opposed to fossil fuels. oil prices are based on speculation, at least in part. that was one reason oil went up. not the only reason. but one reason.

Corporate profits up about $750 billion (annualized) vs. pre-crisis (Q4 '19), about 40%.

That represents about $5,800 per household; inflation is about $3,600 per household.

if those oil profits are global, and you divided them by US households, you badly distorted your numbers. you have to divide profits by the total number of customers, including businesses like tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g companies, municipalities, cab companies, shipping companies, etc.

what was inflation under trump, compared to Biden?

The 18 biggest oil CEOs are worth $8 billion more now than when Biden took office.

For whatever reason this doesn't get mentioned in the context of rising prices

You made the post, without providing support. Gee, I wonder why?

The average American household isn't spending $5,800 more on gas than at the end of 2019.

"The 18 biggest oil CEOs are worth $8 billion more now than when Biden took office."

I'm also worth more, I loaded up on oil futures when he beat Trump, anyone could have seen that coming.

"For whatever reason this doesn't get mentioned in the context of rising prices"

Same reason why you don't mention what happened to their net worth from 2019-2020.

Oil companies do well when oil is high. Not a shock.

i dont dispute that. if you want what they have, do what they did. or stop whining about it. envy isn’t healthy. if you didn’t buy oil when it was at $35, you missed out. remember that next time.

i’d like to see data that the average american household is paying $5800 more per year on gas. i don’t believe that math. that’s what i dispute. i think he made it up.
