Here’s how fast the bottom has fallen out of the Biden administration on energy policy: On day one in office, President Biden effectively ended the Keystone pipeline with the stroke of a pen. Almost seven months later, with gas prices putting the pinch on Americans’ wallets, the Biden admin is begging OPEC+ to pump more oil.
Clearly this administration knows it has a problem on its hands with fuel prices, so Biden delivered some remarks today. In his pitch for a fresh round of a few trillion dollars more in spending, Biden tried to sell the plan by letting Americans know there are no gas tax increases in the bill (the inflation is taxing enough):
Chad Pergram ~ Biden: One key thing about the infrastructure bill that just passed the Senate is there are no gas tax increases, no gas tax increases. I made that absolutely clear that I would not raise gas taxes. I'm glad everyone in the Senate seemed to agree with that.
Then Biden tried to put a positive spin on high gas prices, and it’s a big ol’ fail:
Townhall.com ~ BIDEN: “Gas prices are lower than they were early in this decade, but they're still high enough to create a pinch on working families."

“At least you’re not paying as much for gas as you were the last time I worked in the White House” is some kind of spin.
Yep. Heh heh heh heh heh.

Chad Hasty ~ Biden: "Hey you should thank me! Gas prices were worse under Obama. I'm going to ignore the Trump years though because then I'd just sound dumb for bringing this up."
Chuckie's Hackin ~ And that makes $3+/gal acceptable to him? He’s out of touch.
Nah, Geriatric Joe is simply a brain-dead buffoon.
David Schmidt ~ Here is President “climate change” crowing about not increasing taxes on fossil fuels. This is when policy/ideology collides with the real world.
That’s the same president who said he wants airplanes of the future to run on cooking oil who this morning begged OPEC+ to pump more oil.
Biden demands OPEC boost oil production amid rising gas prices
http://nypost.com/2021/08/11/biden-demands-opec-boost-oil-production-amid-rising-gas-prices/
The White House is pressuring OPEC and its allies to boost oil production in a bid to tackle rising gasoline prices — despite imposing tighter restrictions on US oil companies last year.
Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan issued a statement on Wednesday urging OPEC — the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries — to move faster to restore global supply of gasoline to pre-pandemic levels. ...
Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn on Wednesday slammed Biden over the clashing priorities.
“It’s pretty simple: if the President is suddenly worried about rising gas prices, he needs to stop killing our own energy production here on American soil,” Cornyn said.
Hey Joe, allow Americans to increase domestic oil & gas production, instead, you f*cking moron!
