President Biden admitted during a CNN town hall Thursday night that he has no immediate solution to the problem of spiking gas prices and suggested that Americans would not start seeing relief at the pump until next year.

“My guess is, you’ll start to see gas prices come down as we get by and going into the winter – I mean, excuse me, into next year, 2022,” the president told moderator Anderson Cooper at the Baltimore event.

“I don’t see anything that’s going to happen in the meantime that’s going to significantly reduce gas prices.

“I must tell you, I don’t have a near-term answer,” Biden added before musing on the possibility that he could “go in the [Strategic] Petroleum Reserve and take out and probably reduce the price of gas maybe 18 cents or so per gallon, [but] it’s still gonna be above three bucks.”

I have the perfect solution. Admit you and your administration is a fraud and step aside.

The answer was handed to him. All he has to do is reverse his shitty policies.

This makes me happy. The “I voted for him because OMB” crowd is waking up.

Why would he have an answer for it...it's what this administration WANTS! Psaki stated that plainly a week or so ago when asked, when she said it was rough that prices were high...but the existential threat of CLIMATE CHANGE could not wait any longer.

High prices are the goal. what they are hoping for is high gas prices and no political fallout for themselves.

Lying POS! He wants high gas prices to drive the sales of electric cars, and further his bullshite spending agendas, period!

Here is what he really wants:
Everyone (except the elites) live in a high rise apartment
Everyone (except the elites) drive an electric car
Everyone (except the elites) make $42,000/year

SOCIALISM, that is all.

Unfortunately, this does not surprise me...

However, I know this is intentional from those inside this administration... They want to make things as painful as possible on the American people and drive people away from the idea of the freedom of a gasoline car...

No pipeline which was operating have been shutdown. One not yet completed (was a year away from being operational) was stopped, from Canada. Another larger pipeline is being reversed and one already coming from Canada is being increased in size.

Oil companies are using profits to pay down the debt load which has increased since the 2014 price collapsed. Lower debt or larger cash surplus means that interest rates for money borrowed for future CAPEX is lower. (YES they all borrow Wall Street money for field development) Many had gone bankrupt after that collapse. CAPEX budgets for new drilling are already set for 2022 with shiiteload of new drilling to resume, Billions per company for some majors each year for 5 years. Drilling going up in the Gulf of Mexico with rig count expected to go to 44, mostly deepwater in already obtained leases.

The president doesn't control gas prices

The only thing that will lower gas prices is more upstream production

We know his answer -- Refuse to open up American drilling and put American security in grave danger by begging OPEC and Russia to pump more oil to sell to America.

Yeah, he's going to save the planet by having OPEC and Russia drill for more oil.

All the free money that was doled out to the masses is going back into gas tanks.

If Russia and the Saudis increase production what do you think happens to prices?
