Biden's hard-line stance on getting rid of fossil fuels overnight what is causing this inflation.


And their insistence on printing and spending trillions of dollars, with that money generating very little in the way of goods or services (the very definition of inflation...too many dollars chasing too few goods). They would spend more if they could and will if they maintain control of congress. It's literally a battle between the Dems and the fed and we all pay the price.

The US is currently producing more crude oil than any other country in the world


Still down 1,000 MBbls per day from our peak and the rest of the world seems to be down on production as well.

We were over producing prior to covid, due to the advent of shale oil, which absolutely crushed prices for the last ~7 years (since November 2014). Oil hit -$40/bbl April 2020

Two questions...

1) Do we have enough oil now? (we all know this answer)
2) Do you think that the actions taken by the current administration have lead to us extracting as much as we possibly could to meet our domestic demand and that of our allies?

And the Trump oil production forecasts were for way more than we're currently doing and will be doing in the next few years.

And topping off the SPR, which Biden should be thanking Trump for, as it allowed him to decimate it trying to score some political points before the midterms (with little/no success).

Now show me the other fossil fuels because the last I checked crude oil does not look like natural gas, coal, etc.

Like today? a year from now? 5 years from now? 20 years from now?

Oil prices have been in the shitter for the past 8 years. Many many companies went bankrupt. Do you expect all these companies to forget about the past and drill bc prices are currently high today? Or are they more forward looking?

What did Obama do in 2014 to tank the oil market? Or was it everything to do with technological innovation increasing supply in the oil patch and wall street pumping money into in as fast as the could from 2009 - 2014?

ETA: what the market currently thinks WTI prices will do. Spoiler, artifically high prices coming back to pre-covid levels

Jesus man. Who was President in 2020 when things shut down and rates plummeted? Who was the first president to sign off on the free money everyone is bitching about?

Good! The interest rates have been far too low for far too long.

While this is true, it isn't clear that this will address worldwide inflation, which is higher in almost every other country.

Huh? Are you claiming the supply chain is causing inflation?

Inflation and supply chain disruptions are related, but only because they share many of the same causes. Shutdowns, followed by free money, followed by increased demand because of a trillion dollars of government money injected into the economy.


You realize America is not the only country experiencing inflation correct? Also, much of what you mentioned was going on under Trump too. From massive tax breaks to runaway PPP loans and stimulus checks.

This is a global problem.

The UK, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, the Euro Area generally, all have higher inflation rates than America currently. Of G20 countries, only China/Japan/Saudi Arabia have largely avoided large inflationary pressure, but even all of them are up over 3%.

I'm genuinely curious what the so called "conservative" solution is to inflation??? And what evidence they have to support it?

It surely isn't gaslighting people into thinking inflation is good for them.
