My GOPer friend is upset with the price of fuel.....

[imanamerican63]

and we know who’s fault it is! I had to remind him that it is not as high as it was 3 years(2017). He said that Trump didn’t have anything to do with that and it was OPEC & Obama had a deal to get the prices high so Trump would be blamed. Before he said anything else, I said I was getting another call! You can’t fix the insane!

1. The highest prices were from 2011-2013

3. I recall gas reaching $4/gal briefly in the years 2003-2007

and it wasn’t California.

5. After Katrina (2005) it got up to $5-6 here in the South.

Don't know what they were paying in California.

2. Sounds like projection to me.

We know the Saudis cut oil production and are dragging their feet to raise OPEC's production targets. Sounds to me like MBS is doing TFG and the Republicans a solid by keeping oil prices high.

That's why I think the only way to neutralize the Republican-Saudi alliance in the short term is to resume trading oil with either Iran or Venezuela. Otherwise, MBS/Saudi Arabia and the UAE are going to screw us.

4. Is he equally upset with potholes?

I doubt it.

6. Gas was $4.39 (regular) two days ago. Of course, I live in SoCal. I also remember when gas was

.15-.19/gallon (also in SoCal). Party size bag of potato chips was $3.99 last week, this week $5.09.

7. Inflation is the new caravan

They gotta have some new one-word bogeyman to gaslight about every year.

8. But the legislation hasn't even passed yet, how is it causing inflation?
