The Schumer/Manchin deal reinstates taxes on imported oil at the same time Joe Biden is limiting domestic oil production. Terrible news for gas prices!

Well whatever his plan is…it’s working. He didn’t start this, but he is doing a fine job getting control of it. Putin started this when he chose to invade Ukraine because he thought Trump weakened NATO enough.

You should read the whole thing, Gymbo! A different provision requires massive expansion of drilling leases both in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. But you omit that because it defuses your narrative. Lying liars gonna LIE!!!

Yes Jim. A tax of 16.4 cents per barrel. Every barrel can make 20 gallons of gas. So less than 1 cent per gallon. Plus, wouldn't a tax on oil imports PROTECT domestic oil companies incentivizing keeping oil and refining in the US? #GOPIsTheCrisis #NoSolutionsGOP

At 3:00PM CDT oil has dropped to $88 a barrel, down from $122 a barrel on 3/22/2022. Wholesale gasoline prices are at $2.77 a GAL down from a high of $4.33 a GAL. Thank you President Biden. 👍

Gas prices??! How about those major tax breaks and subsidies (corporate welfare) you awarded them giving NO INCENTIVES to lower prices. Sit all the way down, Gym.
