Biden administration not interested in fixing gas prices permanently. Is this what you voted for?

Anchor Stephanie Ruhle said, “I want to stay on gas for another moment. You’re absolutely right, the president does not set the price of gas, but he can influence it. And while releasing some strategic reserves matters, given how much has been released, it is really just a drop in the bucket. Are there things, and I realize this is controversial, it has huge environmental impacts, could the president possibly consider authorizing the Keystone Pipeline? Or working something out with Iran?”

Buttigieg said, “Look, the president has said that all options are on the table. But we also need to make sure that we are not galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short term problems, where more strategic and tactical actions in the short term that can make a difference, like what you have with the strategic reserve, which exists partly in order to respond to situations like this.”
....
How do they not understand/care about the inflation caused by their actions?

    When oil prices go up, so does interest in alternatives.
    As alternatives become more available, they become less expensive.

    So you are fine with high gas and high everything else because of high gas.   

    I do not care how high gas gets. I do not want an electric car/truck.  

    If Biden is so worried about EVs why did he exclude Tesla from the EV summit recently?

    Biodiesel ... build your own "refinery" for your family vehicle(s) and get the "fuel" from the waste grease of local restaurants.

    If it comes to it I will.    If Biden does not make it illegal to get it from the restaurants again. That was a tactic Obama used through the EPA when he was in and people we doing what you suggest.

    I wonder what Joe Biden’s approval rating among AM users is.  I guess it’s probably pretty high and he’s what most people on Answermug wanted, but I don’t know so I’m actually going to post it in a poll. This post was edited by Livvie at March 5, 2022 6:58 AM MST

    I was thinking his approval rating on AM would be a lot higher than 80%, but I guess I’ll find out. This post was edited by Livvie at March 6, 2022 3:05 PM MST

    I was thinking that if Biden wins the poll the pro Trump people will ask the site administrator to over turn the results. Cheers and happy weekend! This post was edited by Nanoose at March 4, 2022 7:16 PM MST

    The administrator (JA) is a liberal so no worries there.

    Nope...he was installed by fraud.  Do you believe any nursing home would have 95%-100% voter participation without fraud.    That was just revealed in WI.

    Facts.....I know most libs want to ignore them. 

    Do you think most of the elderly in nursing homes vote (95%-100%)?   This has just been reported by the IG in Wisconsin.
