After almost two years in office, Joe Biden has finally admitted what we all knew to be true: life under his leadership is absolute hell.
At a rally in Florida on Tuesday, Biden said, “Look, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine sent gas prices soaring around the world. But because of the actions we’ve taken, gas prices are coming down here at home.”
“In the last six months, while the rest of the country was going through hell, six of the largest oil companies made more than $100 billion in profits,” he added.

Well, that’s the truth, but it’s not the whole truth. The oil companies are not the reason why gas prices have been high, Joe Biden is the reason why they’re high. Joe Biden single-handedly killed out energy independence. He is the one who shot us all in the back then turned around and pointed at Russia and the oil companies.
People say that presidents don’t have the power to control gas prices, but in a sense they do. President Trump kept prices pretty low and then they IMMEDIATELY started going up after Joe Biden was sworn in because he shut down much of our oil production. It was a stupid move, but Democrats are completely incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions.
Keep in mind that Joe Biden and the Democrats want to shut down the oil industry. They act like they are the demons of the earth. Think about it…if you called me names, spat in my face, and threatened to do the same thing to me the next time you see me…if you did that do me every single day, do you think that I would help you out anyway?
What I mean is that with Democrats threatening to come after the oil companies all the time, it makes perfect sense to hold on to as much profit as possible. They have an obligation to shareholders and just because they thrive in different times than the rest of the economy, that doesn’t mean they’re bad. They may do worse when we’re doing better. It’s a give and take.
