It is truly hilarious to watch the Democrats suddenly faking concern over gas prices. It’s a masterclass in gaslighting from the same activists who have openly demanded higher energy costs for years. For just one example of many hypocrites, I give you, (D) Rep. Sean Casten, one of the primary architects of the scam called the 'Inflation Reduction Act.' This is the guy referenced in the article below. His entire 'scientific' energy policy was nothing more than a scheme to use our tax dollars to prop up unviable green products (from China) that would collapse in a real market. How? I'll give you an example to keep in mind as you read his recent words.
One way is using a favorite libtard tool called NGOs. Yes, that's right, more than a few bucks went to NGOs in an effort to save the planet and put the oil pigs out of business. Keep in mind oil was already over $100 a barrel as this moron wrote this scam into law. At time of the bill's passage, they estimated $30 billion going to the 'direct pay' provision. It was a moving target determined by how many applicants there were and their 'needs'. Current projections? Just a bit higher at $600 billion. I'm sure all of that money is being spent wisely, aren't you? No fraud at all, why would there be? Radical left-wing nutcases always spend money wisely, right?
Ironically, as I'm typing this, I'm hearing about Planned Parenthood getting caught assigning the code word 'Benghazi' to documents showing where and what they did with 90 million dollars of PPP funds, making it nearly impossible for anyone requesting the documents to find them. I wonder if they'll find any fraud there.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) responded to Energy Secretary Chris Wright touting energy exports by saying, “That sounds like the energy policy of Angola, right? If you’re praising that we can dig holes in the United States and export things to other countries that they can turn into higher-value goods and services, that’s a very extractive view of the United States economy.”
Casten said, “Look at what investors want to build in the United States, there are no investors lining up to build coal plants in the United States, and I think Chris Wright’s — but there are investors lining up to build solar and wind, and that’s what markets want, because it’s cheaper.”
He continued, “I think Secretary Wright’s comments are a tell. That sounds like the energy policy of Angola, right? If you’re praising that we can dig holes in the United States and export things to other countries that they can turn into higher-value goods and services, that’s a very extractive view of the United States economy. And I would submit to you that nine out of ten Americans do not give a damn about whether or not we are digging things out of the United States and selling it in Dubrovnik, what they want to know is what are you doing to give me access to cheaper energy so that I can keep my home warm, so that I can keep my house well-lit, so that the factory that employs me is going to have low costs and can compete against foreign competition. And if you think the only purpose of U.S. energy policy is to dig holes and export, I guess appoint Chris Wright Energy Secretary. But that’s not historically what’s really built the strength. We have to have a consumer-focused energy policy, not an exporter-focused energy policy.”

Dem Rep. Casten: Touting Energy Exports Is ‘Extractive View’, Sounds Like Angola
