WASHINGTON, D.C—Joe Biden held a press conference to address critics claiming he is responsible for higher gas prices.

The President strongly refuted such claims, stating that he's not responsible for gas prices—unless of course, the prices go down.

"It's simply not true. It just isn't folks," said Biden. "I have no control over gas prices whatsoever—unless, of course, they go down. In that case, then it's all me."

"But for the time being, I can't do much right now. Russia is responsible," the President added.

Biden then seemed to forget what he was talking about and stared blankly into the camera.

Critics have pointed out that there are several actions a president could take right now—such as allowing more offshore drilling, removing restrictions, and promoting pipeline projects.

But Jen Psaki has already debunked those solutions, explaining that even if they did all that, greedy oik companies would just keep prices higher.

Biden can control gas prices. He can institute price controls. Then you trade high prices for shortages.

The looting is blatant. The stations have thousands of gallons in their tanks and when the speculators crank up future prices, they immediately elevate their prices. So they make a ton off the gas they already paid for. Oil companies have a free hand to loot and they will.

Is that so?

It's not an either/or choice.

Again, you fail to understand price discovery and the concept of competition.

Yes it is. The only other path is to remove blocks from developing domestic supplies, which would lower prices of course, but Biden wouldn't control the oil market or the prices.

He's just paranoid.

They'll figure it out when they can't buy their hummus or tofu anymore.

It's already very difficult for them to get their bubble tea.

 

[Into the Night]

They'll just blame Trump, or Putin, won't they?

Heh. Probably.

 

[Into the Night]

I'm just waiting for the lines around the block for gas and 1/2 tank rationing.

That's what happens with price controls. They always cause shortages. The question here is: Is Biden stupid enough to repeat the idiocy of President Carter?

Created by Biden?

That's what he said. He is right.

Damn you say the dumbest things. Biden is a stable and middle-road politician.

Damn you say the dumbest things.

He is exactly what we need in Putin/Trump's war.

Another dumb thing you say. Trump is not at war.

Rightys are pretty proud of Putin blowing up Ukrainian cities.

Another dumb thing you say. Neither Republicans nor Trump are blowing up Ukrainian cities. (Now that you mention it, I seem to remember Democrats supporting and funding Antifa and BLM, which BURNED and VANDALIZED and PILLAGED American cities!)

Trump was totally unqualified as a prez and a poor selfish excuse of a human being.

Your opinion. You've already said this.

I feel blessed not to have the flee my country with little or nothing or having my loved ones killed by Russians.

Crying over the high price of gas pales in comparison.

Special pleading fallacy.

Just think about how the higher prices impact the minority voters. Poor people just can't afford $4.00 gas. They are leaving the Democrat party in droves in the Rio Grand Valley of Texas.

Good. Some of them starting to wake up to what the Democrats have done?

Thank you Putie Fluffer

Non-sequitur fallacy. Denial of history.

Please explain how Keystone would have any impact on production today or any of the leases he’s reviewing, thanks

RQAA. Keystone XL would improve the shipment of oil from the Dakotas and Montana, and support a major terminal in Montana for oil sources west and south of there.

 

[Into the Night]

Fairly simple: The leases are "under review" and not "renewed" and therefore inactive drilling sites.

Biden shut down most of the production, now he's begging Venezuela for oil. He's worse than Carter. FAIL!

Highest gas prices evah! 'Nuff said!

Many leases were outright cancelled. Biden is going everything he can to make it next to impossible to drill for oil or to operate a coal mine. Indeed, he doesn't like mining at all. He has shut down copper mines, nickel mines, etc. Less domestic resource for those electric car batteries now!

 

[Into the Night]

Do you understand how long it takes to produce oil after a lease?

About 10 years, due to government interference. Less than a year if that interference were removed.

Do you understand that some tracts never produce oil?

Which is why you need MORE leases, not less.

Do you understand oil companies aren’t developing leases.

Because of government interference. They aren't allowed to.

Please supply evidence Biden has shut down prices.

RQAA. He already did.

Do you understand that oil companies are greedy and their policies lead to high gas prices?

Still don't get the concept of price discovery and competition, do ya?

 

[Into the Night]

Prove that Biden shut down any fracking.

RQAA. Stop asking the same question over and over mindlessly. It's been answered.

Let's try to learn from history, ok? That failed epically in the 70s.

Carter? He certainly did!

He caused the crisis in fuel prices, then instituted price controls, trading high prices for shortages. The guy was a moron.
It wasn't OPEC. It was Carter cutting domestic supply.

Just like Biden today.

Will Biden be just as stupid as Carter and compound his error with price controls like Carter did?

It has already been demonstrated that Democrats do NOT learn from history.
