White House denies double standard as officials take victory lap on sinking gasoline prices
Officials claim Biden has worked tirelessly to combat rising prices caused by invasion of Ukraine
By Haris Alic | Fox News

    The White House denied on Monday that it was deploying a double standard when it comes to gasoline prices.

Jared Bernstein, a senior economic adviser, was asked during the White House press conference whether it was fair for administration officials to take credit for decreasing gasoline prices after spending months blaming Russia for their rise.

"I think there is no ‘both ways’ thinking here at all," said Bernstein. "I very much disagree with that framing."

"It's one of the fastest declines in retail gas prices in a decade," said Bernstein.

Bernstein said the White House and President Biden were working "tirelessly" to address rising inflation, especially when it came to the gasoline market.

"He put his head down and got to work, and got us to work, to do everything we could to achieve that goal," said Bernstein.

The White House noted that gasoline prices had dropped nearly 50 cents per gallon over the last thirty days. Officials say the drop is the result of Biden's decision to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and engage U.S. allies to pump more oil.

"It's one of the fastest declines in retail gas prices in a decade," said Bernstein.

Who is this Bozo?
 Gas prices are down because people have admitted to changing their summer driving plans due to high prices and speculators see a recession in the near future

This is like the .16cent savings on hot dogs  they were bragging about last 4th of July
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.

Yeah well they need to drop gas prices close to another $3.00 a gallon to get it where it was before Traitor Joe screwed things up.

Yadda yadda yadda, nothing  but b.s. from the WH.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
