US has the highest energy production in history right now. Facts matter. |
do you have any cites for this? |
do you have any cites for this? i'm not talking about 1968, but 2021 forward. |
| The reign of tears is over. The slums will soon only be a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and corn-cribs. Men will walk upright now; women will smile, and the children will laugh. Hell will be forever for rent. |
Stop with the boogey man stories. I generally support Biden except I vehemently oppose his open borders and approach to immigration through reclassification of everyone as asylum seekers. It is bigger than abortion to me because no matter who is in office as president I believe abortion bans will be relaxed. They are unpopular among young people both red and blue. Issue an EO that closes the border until the backlog is addressed and everyone is vetted. Until that happens I may sit out or vote third party allowing the chips fall as they may. I’m tired of my vote being taken for granted or as tacit approval of the 10-20% of D actions I very much don’t support when I vote Democrat. |
Dream on, baby! Consumer confidence:
Average gas price: When Trump left office: $2.38 Currently under Biden: $3.20 Cost of goods under Biden: Food prices are up 33.7% from the start of 2021, while shelter costs are up 18.7%, according to FOX Business calculations. Energy prices, meanwhile, are up 32.8%. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/biden-touts-cooling-inflation-but-prices-are-up-sharply-from-2021 |
Why would you possibly think this? The Evangelicals, who control Trump and Johnson, want a fundamentalist religious country, and that includes the subjugation of women's rights as it pertains to the control of their own bodies. |
The economy was thriving before the pandemic because Obama left it that way for the next administration. |
When Trump left office, the US economy was in shambles, there was no demand for gas because no one was driving anywhere. So sure, I guess if you want the economy to crash again so you can buy gas for cheap, that is a thing, but I like my presidents to grow the GDP and grow jobs. |
Nice try. When Trump was in office, the price of gas remained low. it never spiked to over $5.00 like it did with Biden in office. In fact, it never even reached $3.00/gallon. |
If that happens, you'll likely survive. Life will likely go on. Political swings aren't new. The same may hold true if that doesn't happen. |
It spiked because of the economic snap back when Biden got the economy re-opened. Gas prices do not fluctuate in a vacuum.

Instead... https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3920/text ^^^ The GOP in lock-step, voted against this. |
Biden didn't open the economy. Bumbling, Stumbling Dementia Joe was for lockdowns and for keeping it closed. States ruled by Democrat Party regimes remained closed as states like Florida and TX opened back up for business. In fact, because of Bidenomics the economy still continues to suffer: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/25/inflation-has-created-a-dark-cloud-over-how-everyday-americans-view-the-economy.html https://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/americans-financial-recovery-covid Most Americans haven't bounced back and with the rise of energy, unfordable housing and skyrocketing costs of goods most Americans will be in debt for a long period of time. Bumbling, Stumbling Dementia Joe can't even put together a coherent sentence let alont any coherent policy, which is why the illegal alien crisis is in full swing. Instead of securing the borders we're literally flying people without ID's to various places around the US. https://www.commerce.senate.gov/2023/12/sen-cruz-demands-answers-from-dhs-regarding-illegal-aliens-use-of-fake-ids-for-air-travel#:~:text=%E2%80%9CWhile%20Americans%20must%20present%20an,saying%20the%20process%20%E2%80%9Ctakes%20illegal |
An anomaly. Abortion bans will be loosened. |
Uh, the lockdowns started under Trump. Biden got the vaccines out to the public and then there were no more lockdowns. This was only three years ago, but you seem to have memory-holed the whole episode. |
