What's Joe Going to Do Now? Gas Prices Projected to Go up Again
By Nick Arama | 3:00 PM on January 02, 2023
When gas prices were skyrocketing and hitting their highest numbers this past summer, Joe Biden tried to blame the rise on “Putin’s price hike,” claiming it was due to Vladimir Putin having Russia invade Ukraine. Now, that was just an outright lie since gas prices had been going up since Biden took office, long before the invasion of Ukraine. But that didn’t stop Joe Biden, it wasn’t his fault. It didn’t occur to him that blaming Putin made him look even weaker, as though Putin could dictate American prices and Biden was completely at his mercy.
But then when prices started dropping, the Biden team started taking credit for that, even though the price of gas was still far higher than when Biden took office. So when they were going up, he refused to take the blame, but when they were going down, he wanted to take all the credit. Rather than stopping the attack on our energy industry and putting in sensible policies, Biden blamed gas companies for the high prices, accusing them of price gouging. He couldn’t explain why they were “gouging” under him but not under President Donald Trump. Then he started swiping from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve so as not to have the prices too high going into the election. He even begged the Saudis to put off a production cut so it wouldn’t have an effect until after the election. Republicans won the House anyway and now that the swiping is ending, prices have already been inching up again in some places.
Listen as Biden tries to convince you that even though prices are still far higher than when he started office, he’s saving you “hundreds of dollars a month.”

So what is Biden going to say and do now that the prices are going up again since he didn’t change his harmful policies to truly deal with the situation?
