Exclusive — Charlie Hurt: Higher Gas Prices Are Part of Left’s Plan to Make Driving Unaffordable

Robert Kraychik 19 Apr 2021

Raising the price of gasoline is part of Democrats’ plan to make driving unaffordable for most Americans, Washington Times opinion editor and Breitbart News columnist Charles Hurt said Monday on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow, author of Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption.

“They make no secret about the fact that they … want [gas] at six dollars a gallon,” Hurt remarked. “They want it at eight dollars a gallon. This is not a secret to them. The Green New Deal, the whole thing — all these people — their intent is to raise the price of gas so that it is so expensive that nobody can drive anywhere. They’re not kidding around about this. This is not a joke to them, and they’re not embarrassed by it. … They want gas to be at $20 a gallon. They want it to be like Europe because they want no one to be able to afford to drive anywhere. That’s their goal.”

That's been a mainstream goal advocated in the Dem Party for nearly 50 years.

The stupidity of increasing transportation costs is only lost on those who do not buy their own fuel.

It also conveniently ignores the increase in shipping costs for everything, but especially food in the cities, where it does not grow.

Our freedom to travel where we want to when we want to via a privately owned vehicle is something the left despises.

Heard similar discussions back in the late '70's after OPEC embargos.

Thing is....   gasoline, like everything else is a supply/demand commodity. If demand rapidly drops, like during the early part of the pandemic, the price should follow, again like during the early part of the pandemic.

OTOH, if the left really wants to play this dangerous game of chicken, and drive demand down and destroy the oil industry.....  When the SHTF, every same liberal politican enacting this disaster needs to hanging and decorating all the street lamps of DC

The stupidity is compounded in a world where many expect nearly everything delivered to their front door.

There is nothing stupid about it. In fact,it is brilliant.

It's the ideal way to force everyone to stay in their boxes in the cities where they are easily watched and controlled.

Meanwhile,the upper-middle classes with connections and the wealthy will be free to travel on highways virtually free of traffic..

I predict,that like in the old (as opposed to the 'murikan version) Soviet Union,there will even be special traffic lanes that are restricted to the upper-classes only,and cops standing on street corners controlling red lights to make sure none of them ever have to stop for one.

Yeah,gas may be a lot more expensive,but they can afford it,and just look at how the land prices will drop once nobody but the wealthy is allowed to travel out of the cities.

For all practical purposes,it will be free for them because no one else will have access.

"All those damn people,left free to run around unsupervised with no one taking notes of who is going where!"

@sneakypete exactly.  Government transportation (busing, trains etc) is always pushed by the left because they can control our means and ability to travel with those methods of transport.

And TOTAL control of the population is where the Fascist Right and the Fascist Left meet. Hell,it's why they hate each other. Neither can stand competition.

There is an  actual fact in that, which has not escaped my observation.

All of it (ALL) is predicated on tech. No-tech/low-tech will slip right through the cracks, just like street people do.

It is something to consider.

But it isn't just gas.

The price of anything which must be transported will rise, because it will cost more to get it where it is going.

In short, if you don't produce it or can't carry it from where it comes from to where you are going to use it, it will go up in price.
