Joe Biden says get off his nuts and explains once and for all why the gas is so high

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

No, only Congress can do that.

Wasn’t he a member of Congress at one point and time? Why didn’t he solve the problem back then? He was a tenured of Congress and had more influence than the average Congress person.

Oh wait. He was benefiting from these corporations just as much as everyone else.

Damn!!! These Biden nut huggers been mad quiet

 

[acri1]

Half his campaign was ran on being able to get things done and agreed upon


Is it possible to make cars/gas under a necessity say like energy, where PG&E as example is its own company, but is still subject to strict government regulations? Since our public transportation is horrible maybe some how, not even sure if possible but some how make it so gas companies are more regulated by being listed as a basic life need

Another thing, he said they have 9,000 drill permits, but arent drilling, obvious answer here is rewriting laws that if approved for a drilling permit you have to drill or lose the permit

The president doesn't write laws I don't get why this seems to be such a hard concept to understand

He's right you know.

He’s extremely right and if he pivots to this as his focus he’d win me back asap.

He was one person out of 100, how was he supposed to just solve the problem dolo?

I don't even like Biden like that but some of these things yall complain about are just completely irrational

If he’s calling it out I’m thinking he’s not one of them but that is what we need to be talking about

He’s not right. Literally everything he said was wrong. Exxon doesn’t control gas prices, they’re just a company. Joe Biden (and every other president for you shills) has more control over gas prices than Exxon does due to US domestic and foreign policy. He literally said gas prices would increase due to his own unnecessary sanctions and this whole russia-Ukraine war was caused by the us militarization of the Ukraine.

Did he mention how much money companies like Exxon lost due to refineries being shut down and also the lockdowns during the pandemic?

He’s even more wrong complaining about them doing stock buybacks. Exxon legally has to do what’s best for shareholders and the company. Every company does share buybacks. Notice he didn’t say Exxon did anything illegal. Everything that Exxon does is within legal limits set by congress both Democrat and republicans alike.

You say that but conveniently overlook the direct influence that he mad on making the student loan issue worse

Let's not act like he didn't have power during his time in Congress.

That's not a bridge that he wants to cross though considering the fact that members of his own party are likely on that list as well. You can also point to other situations and problems in this country and show the members of Congress that are eating from these corporations. It'd come off as hypocritical from both parties.

Gas is expensive because COVID shut-down domestic oil production and OPEC has been 'price gouging' to recoup losses incurred for the past 2 years.​

OPEC is only 11% of our oil imports. 11%. Thats it. You cant use that as an excuse for gas basically quadrupling in price since 2020.

The president can request, encourage and sign bills though I dont get why this seems to be such a hard concept to understand

ExxonMobil paying higher taxes will not lower gas prices rather opposite. They will increase prices to replace what they are losing to taxes. Biden needs to go.

Exactly. The more money Exxon makes, the more money the us government makes via taxes.

None of that matters if the bill doesn't get picked up by and passed by Congress.

Biden spent months and months requesting and encouraging the Senate to pass BBB and they still wouldn't. Same with voting rights.


If someone is at fault for that it's the Senate.

Gas prices have nothing to do with how much oil we import. Gas prices are determined mostly by supply and demand In which OPEC nations collude to control the global supply.

And whose fault was it that it didn't get passed? The same Manchin and Sinema that people on here insisted wouldn't be a problem and that Biden could get them both in line. Let's also not pretend like Democrats didn't torch their own leverage in separating the bills and thus giving Manchin all the leverage to say no.

That's on Biden, Nancy and Chuck as they are the Democratic Leadership and that's their job to get their party members in line. If you insist otherwise, then you're proving my point.
