Gasoline Prices Are Falling This Holiday Season And Republicans Are Silent

President Joseph R. Biden: Right now, the average price of a gallon of gas is $3.32, down 13 cents in a week. And below the price of gas one year ago.

Our actions are working to get American families meaningful savings.



According to AAA, gas prices have dropped even lower to a national average of $3.29. At the current pace, the national average for a gallon of gas will be under $3.00/gallon within a month...

President Biden has navigated the country through an unprecedented time, and it is good to see his administration taking credit for something that they led on.

The gas prices story is an example of how much of the media has no interest in positive (for Joe Biden/Democrats) news. - PoliticusUSA


Another policy win for Joe Biden's constituents, all Americans. But not all American's will give him credit and virtually no news outlets will either. Yet, he never gives up trying to better their lives.

In many ways, he's like an unloved father who has a limitless amount of persistence to help his family out whether they love him back or not.

Hey, I'm gonna write the Republican Members of the Senate, and personally thank them for Giving Me The Right,
to pay 220 bucks for a fill up of diesel in my pickup a few months ago..........It hit 5.50 and I think it is still above five bucks?????

Utility bills are even worse......Thx to Xcel, which in reality is a private for profit corporation and not a Public Utility,

I do the monthly averaging, so it is the same every month, much easier for budgeting......last year I was paying 172? a month.
My new rate is 299? a month????????? That is about a 75% percent increase......

And don't even get me started on groceries, serious price increases and for a SMALLER size than before.

The Corporations, across the board, are scoring Huge RECORD profits, and telling us that it is all Biden/Dems fault that inflation is so high........

I won't go into medical insurance, medical charges, hospital charges, ER charges, ETC

And for the GRAND SLAM.......pharmaceutical prices for medicines..............

(R)'s won the house.
Their policies are making it the gas prices fall.

Wait, they're not in charge yet?
Must be the Gas companies manipulating the price for political reasons.

When he sold 180 million barrels from the strategic reserve, oil was at $96.25/bl. He just replaced what he sold at $74.29/bl, making a $4 billion profit. Meanwhile, when oil was at negative prices during the pandemic, instead of having the oil producers pay us to take it, Shit For Brains was working to get OPEC to RAISE prices. He's such a stable genius, eh? I swear to god, if anyone ever tells me again that we need a businessman to run the country, I'm going to dope-slap them into the next century.
