The Biden administration wants you to believe these sky-rocketing gas prices are Putin’s fault. They’re hoping Americans forget about the rising prices we saw all last year.

Prices rose by 40-50c the day after the invasion and have kept going up since.

Time Scott 2024 he know what’s wrong with America. But no answers. Now the country can see what’s the best South Carolina can do for a Senator.

Senator, please do better. The people of Ukraine are being injured and killed because of Putin's violence. These prices are absolutely his fault. It would be nice if you stopped playing the gotcha game and actually did some work for the ppl of SC.

And YOU are still hoping your supporters don't know that the president does not control gas prices. If I were a supporter of yours, I would be insulted.

What’s the price for a barrel of oil? Now what was the price of a gallon of gas the last time that was the price of a barrel of oil? If they aren’t the same, where is the problem? Most likely not in the White House.

Got a point there Tim. Corporate greed is a big part too. Pass a windfall profits tax on #BigOil to penalize their price gouging.

He never said that.

supply vs demand more demand now so higher prices, pressure oil companies to use some of the 9000 unused permits and increase supply instead of lying to the public.

That was because the economy was roaring back to life, but oil producers chose not to ramp up production in order to maximize profit margins.
