DCCC Chair Maloney: ‘We’re Going after’ Gas Gouging, Releasing from SPR, and ‘Increasing Domestic and International’ Oil Supplies

Ian Hanchett 6 Oct 2022

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” DCCC Chair Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) said that Democrats have a plan to deal with gas prices and have done so with President Joe Biden releasing large amounts of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and Democrats “going after the big oil companies for price gouging, and we’re increasing domestic and international supplies.” While Republicans are just “working on their own power.”

Maloney said, “Well, again, we’re working [on] the problem. They’re working on their own power. Look, we don’t disagree with the other side on lowering peoples’ costs. What we disagree on is when we have a plan to bring down your prescription drug costs, which we passed into law, capping seniors’ out-of-pocket costs at $2,000 a year, all of the Republicans voted against it. When we have a plan to cap your childcare costs at 7% of your income, the Republicans opposed us. And on gas prices, the President has released 90 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. We’re going after the big oil companies for price gouging, and we’re increasing domestic and international supplies. Now, that’s a plan. The other side is trying to exploit these frustrations.”

I don't see what authority the democrap campaign committee has to go after imaginary price gouging. Is this idiot just telling everyone that he like all other democrats don't have even the slightest understanding of supply and demand? Every time the democrats cause gas and other fuel prices to go up the immediately go to the same tired old script of blaming the evil oil companies, they will waste taxpayer dollars on a face investigation and like always after their virtue signaling find no gouging by oil companies.

Anyone heard anything from the republicans?

The GOP is too busy prepping for their Congressional "investigations" of Dems and Impeachment of Joe Biden.

When they need money or votes, they'll contact me again.

Oil companies don't set the price, it is set by bid on the commodities exchange, just like for corn, pork bellies, or orange juice.

The people most responsible for any surge in oil prices are the ones claiming that the oil companies need to be investigated.

Typical Leftists, blame everyone else for what you yourselves have done.
