"President Biden has now completed the two-step ritual that presidents perform to deflect voter anger over rising gasoline prices," the editorial board began Tuesday. "The first step is ordering an investigation into gas price gouging, which Mr. Biden did last week. The second is releasing oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which Mr. Biden did Tuesday. These moves accomplish one thing: making it appear that the president is doing something about gas prices." -WAPO
I believe the last 4 Democrat Presidents have gone after oil companies to deflect.
Oil companies beginning with John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil have lifted this country as well as most of the world up to enjoy a better standard of living yet are always painted as villains.
Every time I fill up, I place on of these decals pointing at the price paid to remind others of who is doing the gouging.
