Sounds good, you would think that it would get many votes to protect us. Oops, not quite. All Republicans in the House voted against it. So if you think someone is gouging you on fuel, ask your GOP Congressman why they wanted you to be gouged.


You fell for it. This is exactly what your democratic heroes wanted you to think…..well believe, because obviously you can’t think for yourself.

You really need to study history and see what price controls do. Here’s a hint, no gas!

You think price controls are going to fix this? You have the IQ of a rock. Look back through history and tell me how well price controls have controlled prices. It’s going to create more scarcity and continue to drive prices up. It does the opposite of what is intended. This is supply and demand. We need more supply but president dumb frick told the country that we are moving away from fossil fuels. That makes investors and speculators believe the price will rise in the future as supply falls, so they continue to buy at higher and higher prices.


These guys obviously slept through economic class. Or most likely took an elective liberal arts class instead.

So you are blaming Biden as the reason your GOP congressman thinks it is ok for you to be gouged on fuel?

No one in their right mind does. Did all the gas station owners all decide to get extra greedy at the same time?

I would explain it to you but it's obvious that would be a total waste of time.

It doesn't address the real problem. High gas prices are the result of the Biden administration's war on fossil fuels. Getting rid of Democrats would solve the problem.

This is why! Dummy maybe read the damn bill. Libtard he doesn’t need any more power. Hell if this bill passed you could fine every marina in the geographic region.

The President may issue an energy emergency proclamation for any area within the jurisdiction of the United States, during which the prohibition in para- graph (1) shall apply, that includes the geo- graphic area covered, the consumer fuel cov- ered, and the time period that such proclama- tion shall be in effect.

I don’t believe the intent of that bill was to prevent price gouging. I very much believe the intent was to introduce price ceilings.

If you want to see something worse than $5 gas, let them put in price ceilings and deal with having no gas.

Biden and Democrats have helped caused increases in market prices, so what do you define “unconscionably excessive” as when it’s market based and in large part based based on Biden’s anti-oil and gas agenda since his inauguration.

Your supported solution is basically price controls. Ever heard of the 70s?


Also what about Democrats in Senate???

Why do you blame republicans in the house for a bill that passed the house regardless of their vote? As your beloved Hillary said, “What difference does it make?”

Only low IQ sheep believe in the price gouging talking point. You have identified yourself as one of them.

This bill isn’t really about price gouging. It would allow the President to unilaterally declare an energy “emergency” and then set a gas price ceiling.

In case you know nothing about economics or history, government issued price ceilings lead to mass shortages 100% of the time.

There’s so much wrong here I don’t know where to start. I’d like to know who was responsible for teaching you basic economics so I can slap the shite out of them.
