    Maybe you forgot about that. Or maybe you just didn't know. In either case, you're an ignoramus.
    Well then, let me refresh your memory.

    Escalating his administration's response to the disastrous Gulf oil spill, President Barack Obama announced Thursday a moratorium on new deepwater oil drilling permits will be continued for six months while a presidential commission investigates, a White House aide said.
    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-e...hore-drilling/

    Obama to keep deep water drilling permit ban
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-o...64P6O120100526

    Obama ended virtually all new offshore drilling and exploration. Trump restored that and has even tried to expand it.

    Obama ended new drilling in the Arctic. Trump restored that.

    The Obama administration has blocked any new drilling permits for oil in the Arctic for the next two years, and refused requests to extend existing drilling permits. The decision follows Shell’s abandonment of Arctic drilling in September and could signal the end of the threat of oil exploration in the delicate Arctic ecosystem.
    https://www.transportenvironment.org...-%E2%80%93-now

    Even Obama friendly Factcheck.org can't find a way to say Obama wasn't lying when he tried to take credit for the oil boom under Trump

    Former President Barack Obama said the fact that the United States is now the world’s biggest oil producer didn’t happen “suddenly.” Instead, “that was me, people.”
    https://www.factcheck.org/2018/11/ob...ing-oil-boast/

    Even CNN had to report that the courts forced Obama to stop foot dragging on new drilling permits.

    A federal court ordered the Obama administration Thursday to act on five deep water drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico within 30 days, calling the delays in issuing new decisions "unreasonable, unacceptable, and unjustified."

    In a case brought by the drilling company Ensco, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana Judge Martin Feldman ruled that the four to nine months the company has waited for a decision on the permits it has a stake in is simply too long.
    https://money.cnn.com/2011/02/18/new...mits/index.htm

    Obama ended virtually all new drilling on federal land. Trump restored the permitting process.

    The United States approved nearly 40 percent more oil and gas drilling permits on public lands in 2018 than it did the previous year thanks to an automated online system introduced in the waning days of the Obama administration, helping reduce a big backlog of applications.
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKCN1RO18A

    And, now Biden is saying he'll do the same shit Obama did on steroids and that's gotten the oil industry's attention.

    Drillers in the largest onshore U.S. oil and gas field are rushing to secure permits ahead of a potential Joe Biden presidency, analysts say, reflecting industry uncertainty about the November election.
    https://www.eenews.net/stories/1063713693

    Even Politifact, Biden friendly, can't cover for Biden's statements.

    Biden said: "No more — no new fracking."
    Moments later, he repeated "no more drilling on federal lands."
    https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...lling-and-no-/

    The numbers may be exaggerated, but Biden's energy plan will tank the economy and cost lots of good paying jobs (oil jobs average just shy of $80,000 a year, solar and wind barely make $50,000 on average).

    Joe Biden’s proposal to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in federal waters would cost nearly 200,000 jobs, strip the U.S. government of billions in dollars of revenue, and potentially push production to other countries, according to a new study commissioned by the industry’s trade group.
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/p...oil-lobby-says

    Bottom line:

    The Obama administration tried hard to reduce oil and gas production driving prices sky high (thank you Mr. Obama in one way... I sold my share in one oil well for well into six figures ... Bought two new cars with a little of that. Sold to these guys. https://sansabaroyalty.com/ Cashing that check at the bank was a real hoot too! ) and making the US an energy importer. Trump has massively expanded US production, driven prices lower made Middle East oil irrelevant to the US, and returned the US to being an energy exporter. Good for him.

    Biden proposes we return to the stupidity of going "green" that Obama disastrously pushed.

    No they won't. They didn't see their tax bills cut before. They did see their refunds get cut though. Well done, moron.

    Nope. If you take two steps back to take one step forward, how many steps does that leave you behind?

    The tax cut reduced revenue and here's how:

    Actual receipts as reported by Treasury.

    The Russia Tax Cut started 1/2/18. Here's how it depressed revenue:

    Receipts
    Jan-2017: $344,069
    Feb-2017: $171,713
    Mar-2017: $216,584
    Apr-2017: $455,605

    Jun-2017: $388,660
    Jul-2017: $232,040
    Aug-2017: $226,311
    Sep-2017: $348,722
    Oct-2017: $235,341
    Nov-2017: $208,374
    Dec-2017: $325,797
    Total-2017: $3,393,634

    Receipts
    Jan-2018: $361,038
    Feb-2018: $155,623
    Mar-2018: $210,832
    Apr-2018: $510,447
    May-2018: $217,075
    Jun-2018: $316,278
    Jul-2018: $225,266
    Aug-2018: $219,115
    Sep-2018: $343,559
    Oct-2018: $252,692
    Nov-2018: $205,961
    Dec-2018: $312,584
    Total-2018: $3,330,470
    -$63,164 from previous year

    Receipts
    Jan-2019: $339,980
    Feb-2019: $167,265
    Mar-2019: $228,811
    Apr-2019: $535,545
    May-2019: $232,064
    Jun-2019: $333,952
    Jul-2019: $251,348
    Aug-2019: $227,965
    Sep-2019: $374,028
    Oct-2019: $245,520
    Nov-2019: $225,185
    Dec-2019: $335,805
    Total-2019: $3,497,468

    +103,834 from 2017, a 3% gain

    Inflation from 2017 to 2019 was 4.3%

    So the net loss is about -1.3% from two years of tax cuts.

    The tax cut didn't increase revenue.

    Again, it wasn't Obama that drove oil prices sky high...WE WERE A NET OIL EXPORTER FOR MOST OF OBAMA'S ENTIRE TERM.

    The reason oil prices went up was because of two things, one of which was your fault:

    1. OPEC cutting production and supply in 2009-2011, and then again in 2013, then again in 2014. (Not your fault)

    2. Our blundered invasion and occupation of Iraq. (That one is your fault because you supported it)

    Which we could have hit earlier, had you not reduced revenue and created trillion-dollar deficits while plunging the economy into a Depression.

    The tax cut reduced revenue the first year, and then reduced revenue further, after inflation.

    You are 1.3% off where you should be.

    We were in a recession before the lockdowns:

    It's official: Recession began in February, ending longest U.S. expansion ever
    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/united-...rted-february/

    Manufacturing was in a recession for all of 2019, before the lockdowns:

    U.S. manufacturing was in a mild recession during 2019, a sore spot for the economy
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...-spot-economy/

    Both recessions are 100% thanks to the tax cut you stupidly support.

    You're the only one saying this...no one else is.

    You also are afraid to address the facts that your shitty tax cut plunged manufacturing into a recession last year, and the whole economy into a recession in February.

    The lockdowns started mid-March.

    Everything you believe is trash and once Trump is gone, you are going to try your hardest to distance yourself from him.

    Again, it wasn't Obama that drove oil prices sky high...WE WERE A NET OIL EXPORTER FOR MOST OF OBAMA'S ENTIRE TERM.

    The reason oil prices went up was because of two things, one of which was your fault:

    1. OPEC cutting production and supply in 2009-2011, and then again in 2013, then again in 2014. (Not your fault)
    Yes, it was Obama. Unlike your graph this goes to 2016







    You'll note that domestic production dropped until shortly before Obama left office while imports rose.

    2. Our blundered invasion and occupation of Iraq. (That one is your fault because you supported it)
    How do you know what my position on Iraq is / was? I've never discussed that here. Aside from that, Iraq had nothing to do with US oil prices.
