Inflation is still well above what is healthy for the economy. Quit gaslighting.
Yes, I made it up … using your logic.

No Jimmy, no one said the president “controls” the price of gas. That’s just silly.
Their policies will and do have an affect on them though.
Again, we know what policies had an affect on the price of gas going up.
What policies caused them to go down?

I’m not saying any of his policies caused them to go down. It’s also silly to say that his policies caused them to go up. The price of gas went up worldwide, the US is part of the global market and can do little to affect the price on its own.
An argument we never heard from Democrats about Covid when Trump was President.

Whoa, this guy is a genious! Pump more oil to bring down the cost? We need more out-of-the-box thinkers like him in these times. What are his thoughts on getting the oil companies to do that?
From the Dallas Fed article I linked above -
The latest Dallas Fed Energy Survey shows that investor pressure to maintain capital discipline—which precludes higher investment in expanding oil production—is the primary restraint on publicly traded companies. This is not simply a case of investors being selfish, but of investors who suffered persistent losses in years past wanting compensation for the risk they take. Depriving these investors of the returns they insist on, by whatever means, would likely be counterproductive because without these investors, the industry would lack the capital to maintain—never mind, increase—crude production going forward.
My understanding is that oil refineries are running at near capacity now. There is no point increasing oil drilling if more oil refineries aren’t going to be built. And why would oil companies put huge amounts into building more refineries when the world is planning to switch over to EVs by 2035?
He is a hell of lot smarter then you and some random Reporter you agree with. He didn’t become a Billionaire by taking advice from random internet experts.

New WSJ poll out today has Biden approval at 45%. We’ll see if tonight’s speech improves that number even more.

Love the optimism
You can thank Trump for that. He’s the GOP’s worst enemy.
I don’t disagree he’s poison politically. Many times the cure is worse than the disease.
Policy-wise the Orange Man is much, much better than what progs did.

Trump’s policies were not that good. Biden has got some stuff done that will help the country.
Balderdash. The vast majority of Trump’s policies were excellent.
The only “positives” Brandon has managed are at best weak imitations of those.
Throwing beads and baubles to the mob from the Ivory Tower parapets is most definitely not good policy.
Brandon is pandering, vote whoring, not making good policy for the country.

All good for the country.
- Remains to be seen
- No, but what “legislation”?
- Weak imitation
- Weak imitation - playing on sympathies for vote whoring. Result of the Kabul Kaos

It will be interesting to see the numbers as the Trump trials progress. I just can’t believe that he can sustain the numbers he is running now.
