It really is. Not enough people are talking about this. If the US economy implodes for a while, it's a win win for Putin. [/quote]

Then stop jacking up the price of gas artificially with executive orders.

It's Russia's number one export.[/quote]

The president of the united states does not control the cost of gas.

That would be socialism.  If you don't like the cost of gas, then complain to the oil companies, who have been reporting record profits the last 8 reporting quarters.[/quote]
Oh, that’s right, who smacked down the attempted response to stop the oil companies price gouging… the GOP! They like the profits they’re making and the party they own isn’t going to be allowed to do anything to affect prices. [/quote]

There is no such thing as price gouging. Supply and demand. They can charge whatever they want. You can buy it or not.

Biden attacked oil discovery, permitting, leases, refining, transport and everything in between with bureaucracy. He did this to give an edge to alternative forms of energy. As I stated before, he's an ideologue. Biden is a believer not a thinker, just like George W Bush. He's a danger to the well being of the US in a competitive global economy.[/quote]

STRONG disagree.
You can charge whatever you want for luxuries and non-essentials, but when it's basic goods and services that everyone needs and depends on, it's GOUGING.   
Also, for all of the supposed "attacking" that you insist Biden did, US domestic oil and gas production are at all-time highs.[/quote]

No it is not gouging.

You are NOT OWED anything.[/quote]

Survival and reasonable, affordable access to basic goods and services should be a fundamental right.  In fact the Constitution can give the government the power to ensure it via the general welfare clause.

Corporations, on the other hand, are NOT OWED massive tax breaks, excessive profits and multimillion dollar compensation packages for their C-suite.[/quote]
