In a developing story that has conservatives shaking their heads, U.S. oil prices have skyrocketed, reaching above $90 a barrel for the first time this year. This spike has sent shockwaves through the economy and is sure to hit American consumers in their wallets. It seems like just yesterday when gas prices were more affordable, but now they continue to climb relentlessly higher.
The rising cost of oil is just another blow to American consumers who have already seen a 20 percent surge in gasoline prices over the past month. This increase accounted for a significant portion of the rise in the producer price index for final demand goods. The burden on the American people is evident as gas prices continue to soar.
there IS a "special" place in Hell for this CORRUPT ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!
Bidenomics (?) G T F O !

The Biden administration’s policies are largely to blame for this predicament. By limiting domestic fossil fuel production and pushing automakers away from traditional engines, they’re leaving Americans at the mercy of soaring fuel costs. It’s clear that the current administration is more interested in appeasing the radical environmentalist agenda than in supporting American energy independence.
Efforts by the Biden administration to negotiate with oil producers and refiners to increase oil stocks have proven futile. Despite promises to ensure a stable supply, the reality is that the U.S. strategic reserves are critically low. President Biden’s previous decision to flood the market with government-owned oil in a political move has left the reserve at its lowest level in four decades. The administration’s failure to promptly restock the reserves when oil prices were low earlier this year is a significant policy error that has now come back to haunt them.
Instead of taking immediate action to address this crisis, the Biden administration has opted to delay plans to rebuild the nation’s reserves, citing high prices as the reason. This inaction further highlights their disregard for the financial struggles of the American people. It’s clear that Bidenomics is breaking America, and it’s the hardworking citizens who are paying the price.
