Gas prices have more than doubled since President Biden took office. President Biden's answer? Beg the Saudis for more oil. Why not just increase AMERICAN oil production?

You are obviously not paying attention to the fact that the heads of all the oil companies are pulling in millions of dollars in profit

Gym hopes that none of us do the research. Sorry Gym, some of us do. The production of oil is up to the oil companies, and that production is up.

Good idea Gym, now you have to get the oil companies to do it. Cause I know you’re not suggesting a government takeover of the oil industry now are you?

That's what Biden has been asking the oil companies to do. They CAN do it. Production was higher in 2019. By 1.3 million barrels/day. But high prices increase profit and it's their job to increase profits. That's capitalism, Jim. Are you advocating for socialism?

The price has nothing to do with American production as we are the second largest producer in the world. The price is set by the oil companies who are making record profits. YOU VOTED AGAINST REDUCING THE PRICE OF GAS.

Let's see. "Incoherent response to COVID 19" "3.3 million barrels per day of lost oil production in Spring of 2020". On the heels of that massive loss, donnie, on the orders of the Big Three Oil Co's, goes to OPEC & DEMANDS, on behalf of their profits, that they produce LESS! 1/

That won't lower prices. It'll increase them short term. Big Oil isn't going to eat new development costs out of the goodness of their hearts. They LOVE these profits. Your campaign does too. The President doesn't pump oil. Companies do. They have all the leases they need.
