We feel your pain, is the message that the Administration is putting out about inflation and high fuel prices, ya right. On the Sunday morning talk show ‘This Week’ – Former Democrat senator from North Dakota, Heidi Heitkamp said that the American public just got USED to $2.00 a gallon fuel, and low inflation, it is not Joe Biden fault. OK well, I understand why she is FORMER, and she should be, and if you read between her lines, she is saying it is OUR fault that fuel is at record highs, and inflation off the charts, so stop complaining.
This attitude seems to be coming out of the Democrats / Socialists more and more. It is not OUR fault or the Administrations fault that this is happened, and remember Biden said, ‘We are going to be OK’, right there you should know we are not. I am having a hard time finding anyone out in Washington that you can believe, and is really for the American working man. You know I saw one on Facebook the other day, ‘Instead of Building Back America Better, How about you leave it the way you found it’, pretty good words, but pretty sure they won’t.
Another thought of the high fuel prices is the Biden is going to cater to the Left Green, and keep polices and actions in place that will keep fuel prices high in an attempt to force the public into buying electric vehicles. How I know you might think I am over the edge on conspiracy theories, but just about anything is possible with these people.
High fuel prices, a type of lock down or restriction to movement? Well with COVID pretty much out of the picture, at least that is what we are being told by this administration, then this might be a sideways attempt to control how we move about and what do or don’t do.
I know I must sound off the rails, and have read to many conspiracy theory stories, but I was just thinking, and the level of trust I have in the Administration, and in Washington for that matter can you you think that way.
Anyway, the weather was great today, and looking forward to the nicer weather.
Today was a Blessing, and Tomorrow is a new day.
Two different worlds the left versus the right live in…keep typing away.
I sure don’t blame you Mark for thinking the Dems are using the high oil prices to control us again. They certainly will use any crisis to their advantage. This one however, will bite them in the ass. High gas prices do’t really hurt those affluent white asexual males that the Dems hate so much. It does hurt the middle class and the poor. Hopefully high gas prices and super high inflation will sink in with the people blindly supporting the left agenda and they will wake up and realize the Dems are really not out to protect them at all, but to push their fall left agenda. Hopefully they will see they are being used as pawns in order for the Dems to get the vote they need to stay in office and push this agenda.
It is so typical then, that the Dems are pushing a bill to penalize the oil companies by imposing a tax on the difference between pre-pandemic oil prices and the current oil price. That rate they are proposing is a 50% tax! This is insanity!!!! How would this encourage US oil producers to produce more? It won’t! But here is the kicker. The proceeds from the tax go to middle and low income families in terms of a government rebate (handout). You see how the American people are being played. The only thing this will accomplish is further de-incentivizing Us oil production and keeping gas prices and inflation high. Oh, it does accomplish one thing though right? Uninformed voters fall for it thinking the Dems have their back. Fighting for them against those rich oil companies that are just out to gouge them. And the cycle keeps on! Same old playbook the Dems have been using for the last 100 years. And now. I just learned that the White House had a zoom call with about a dozen TikTok high influencers, telling them that the high gas prices are a result of the pandemic and Putin’s war in Ukraine. I’m sure the fact that this administration is having a war on fossil fuels from day one never came up. These Tik Tok influencers are currently communicating this to their followers. Mostly young mush head followers, but these mush heads vote. And there are millions of them! See, just another example of the Dems polluting the minds of un-informed voters to further their political hold of power. When are the dem voters going to wake up? Hopefully this November!
So how about this one… the administration has proposed putting Sarah Rafskin on the federal reserve board. Her history of defunding and de-banking US energy will certainly influence her decisions on the federal reserve that has a responsibility to keep inflation and prices low. Just another example of this administrations effort to fight fossil fuel! The y have no intension of producing more oil in this country. They say “ well the oil companies can drill on the 9000 leases they currently have”. Well it’s not like pushing a switch and oil rigs magically start drilling and supplying oil. Even this simple minded fool knows that it take years of exploration and billions of dollars to get to that point. And it’s not like the oil companies just get their checkbook out and start spending the money needed to get them there. It takes investors to do that. Those investors do not feel like they have the support of this administration to invest in those adventures… even at $120/barrel oil!!!! I need to stop…my blood pressure is getting too high! Please educate your friends and your children as to the fraud the Dems are pulling on the American people.
