Senate Democrats Beg Joe Biden to Lower Seven-Year High Gas Prices

Wendell Husebø 9 Nov 2021

Senate Democrats on Monday begged President Joe Biden to lower seven-year high gas prices by releasing emergency oil reserves.

With gas prices reaching prices triple the cost consumers paid in 2020, eight Democrat senators sent a letter to the White House to request the president to take action.

“In light of these pressing concerns, we ask that you consider all tools available at your disposal to lower US gasoline prices. This includes a release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and a ban on crude oil exports,” senators wrote.

The letter was sent by eight Democrat senators: Bob Casey (D-PA), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Ed Markey (D-MA), Tina Smith (D-MN), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

“Continued US exports and overseas supply collusion could be devastating to many in our states,” the group continued. “In light of these pressing concerns, we ask that you consider all tools available at your disposal to lower U.S. gasoline prices. This includes a release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and a ban on crude oil exports.”

More political theater. They know damn well why gas prices are up and they couldn't care less. Otherwise they'd be asking Biden to restore x45's energy policies.

release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

To my knowledge doing this has never ever reduced the price of gas at the pump.

Didn't many States, such as California rush to raise their taxes on gasoline while the price was $1.699?

Noticed the other day in The Peoples Republic of Maryland that many intersections now include pavers inside the pedestrian right-of-way crosswalks.

Thought...what a load of crap.  Lower the taxes and use asphalt.

Just like they'd reinstate Trump's immigration policies if they gave a damn about the invasion at our Southern border.

The gas prices in Kalifornia haven't been down to $1.699 since I was a young man and I'm old now.

That would require more exploration, drilling, pipelines, refineries, and storage.  The can lodge their complaints with A.O.C.

Unfortunately there is a surplus of democrat morons in California who vote to raise taxes for anything somehow believing(morons) that because they don't drive or own property it won't affect them. This last time it was the gas tax...for infrastructure don't ya know. The next time it will something that will be for the children....again. The only thing keeping me here is family, not that I want to leave my kids and grandkids but it would take a divorce before that happened!

It is true that those things you listed could help and that is why the Biden administration will never do them because Omar and AOC won’t allow it

But another thing that’s bringing up oil and gas prices is the declining value of the dollar.
