Progressives find new culprit in high gas prices and Schumer, fearing AOC primary, dutifully falls in line
March 20, 2022 | Kevin Haggerty

House Democrats are unjustly pegging the oil industry as scapegoats for President Joe Biden’s failing policies and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appeared to follow their cues as questions of a primary challenge from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) remain unclear.

As the price of oil recovers from its spike after the initial market disruptions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, now hovering closer to $100/barrel, the price of gasoline is experiencing a much slower decline from the record highs it had reached. According to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), chair of the House Progressive Caucus, this is because of profiteering by Big Oil.

“We go after corporate America because corporate America is often profiteering,” Jayapal told Fox News.

Biden echoed those sentiments with a graph that depicted the rise in oil and gas prices since the beginning of February attempting to use it as proof that gas prices were not expected to go down because of greed from the oil executives.

This isn’t new

I remember back in the 1970s Democrats were blaming oil companies for the prices and shortages
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

What I find interesting is the headline; Schumer fearing AOC.  I believe she's going to run in '24.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

No

Schumer would beat her.  Her candidates that she endorses are so bad that they tend to lose in many parts of the country

Her endorsed candidates in the Buffalo mayoral race lost to a write in. It was because of her and people like her that prevent the Democrats from having a blue wave election in 2020

Think you are right.  Even sane liberals outside of NYC, don't want this blantant socialist.

Some of these people are pushing the idea of a windfall profit tax on oil companies but that’s unlikely going to happen.

Democrats have a thin majority in the House and a 50-50 split the Senate.

So American oil execs are benefiting from biden shortages caused by shutting down oil leases and drilling, causing the massive fuel hikes.   Imagine how much radical muslim and Russia is doing with its massive oil exporting to the world, esp gouging Western nations.  American oil is evil and pollutes, yet some how muslim and russian oil does not.  Time for some brain activity, eh?

 Pretend to be deaf dumb and blind as to how massively what Biden did to benefit Russia and Muslim oil countries that treat us like enemies. Putin decided he could afford to attack the Ukraine.
Blame shifting stooges/fools will do what they do, and they are doing it!
 Like co-vid and vaccines denial stooges will indeed stooge, and often take years doing it!  Some still demand election fraud didn't occur, regardless of the videos showing they got caught red handed.
