    Lol…We certainly understand ignorant whining, so I would tell him to drink less milk. Or increase the minimum wage. Or get a better job.

    Just for the record, and I actually went back and checked. I have, 11 times now, fully explained to you how the COVID era negotiations with OPEC to temporarily reduce output have not only long since passed but also preserved hundreds of thousands of American jobs at the time. You are intentionally propitiating something that you know to be a lie.

    And I have seen it explained to him multiple times by multiple people so one can only conclude that you are correct, especially your last sentence.

    I suppose he thinks anyone around here is still falling for it but he's wrong.

    Trump threatened them to reduce supply - that is just fact

    we could all of had cheaper oil during covid and now if not for Trump

    "Trump told Saudi: Cut oil supply or lose U.S. military support"

    AND THE DIFFERENCE WAS MADE UP BY US PRODUCERS!

    All along you've been missing this key element. He didn't negotiate a temporary (another element you've been missing) reduction in their production so there would be less oil in America. He did it so there would be less foreign oil at a time when demand was critically low and the US oil industry was facing mass layoffs. The difference in what was temporarily reduced from KSA and others was fully accounted for by US producers. Unlike Brandon, who has left us high and dry by cutting off our oil from numerous sources and providing nothing to replace it, Trump temporarily arranged for a reduction from one source so that another source, an American source, could take its place.

    And even if you cant accept that truth please, in the least, accept the basic principles of oil production. What you're pointing to as a cause of today's oil prices happened a fkin ~year and a half ago. Do you think the contracts on those futures are still being exercised? Do you think that oil itself is still circulating? Do you think that oil producers cant reduce their output one week and increase it the next? In addition to just ignoring the political truth you're ignoring the physical truth as well. So, please, let this be the last time I see you spreading this fake news myth, please.

    Nothing like hyperbole.

    Long haul truckers, prior to 2020, were paying anywhere from $800 to $900 to fill up their two tanks.

    First of all, the FED is independent of Congress and are already starting to raise the prima rate and will do so in their March FOMC meeting. They can also restrict the money supply, Milton Friedman theory of Monetarism, to help reduce inflation. The raising of the interest rate and the constriction of the money supply will cause less credit to become available, ie, more risky to try to obtain a loan and being denied, even with good credit.

    Deregulation is not the key. Massive deregulation will only cause chaos in the markets, and a wide range of incentives to cheat from everything from food preperation to stealing customers money legally, ie lemon contracts galore.

    Congress will never live within their means because the average american household does not live within their means either. Credit card debt is at an all time high, mortgages are now outweighing their debt to income ratios, and so forth.

    Why would we want the same party that pissed in the corn flakes to come back to power and now **** in the cereal bowl? That is what you're advocating.

    Big government caused world wide supply chain issues? Big government caused Putin to attach Ukraine?

    Please, explain to the class how that is possible.

    Nah. But I would vote for Bidens bowel movement over Trump. **** Trump.

    By the way, when was Bush Jr a part of the D party? I voted for him many years ago but wasn't aware current rightists such as yourself believe him to be a Democrat.

    He's running twin 100 gallon tanks. Like most do. Normally it would cost around 700-750 to fill and he hasn't even hit the higher dollar stations yet.
    Its 6.25 for diesel here which would cost him $1250. At 6.5 MPG he gets 1300 miles out of those tanks.

    And you think its hyperbole?
    Nothing like making excuses for Biden.

    Which they aren't doing

    Which they aren't doing

    Except it didn't cause these problems when Trump did it and was already in place before Biden reversed everything Trump did.

    CC debt is high because the cost of living is the highest in decades

    Sure, the US president who deliberately sanctioned the US energy sector has no effect on gas price inflation, but the Russian President is fully responsible?

    Obama's energy secretary openly bragged that he wanted $7/gallon gasoline, and now Diaper Boy is going to to do it.

    When Larry Summers warned Biden about the coming inflation last May he was talking about Biden's policies. He didn't mention "world powers." Do Biden or Biden supports ever take responsibility for anything?

    What is Biden's plan to resolve the inflation problem? And the answer is keep spending like a drunken sailor.

    And regarding the Biden claim of "Putin" -- the Democrat Bogeyman causing the problem:

    Anyone else find it comical to read posts from folks who claim to be conservative demanding big government to step in and make things cheaper for them? LOL

    You mean like
    Stop printing trillions in additional money
    Stop over regulating everything
    Stop over spending on idiotic green deal bills
    Stop over borrowing

    For those who have comprehension levels higher than a teenager, that would mean stop all the government control since its Democrats who instituted this.
    Hopefully you can catch up some day
