Eliminating the reliance on Middle East oil has been the dream of every U.S. Administration since the presidency of Jimmy Carter in 1977. Just 12 years ago, when Joe Biden became U.S. Vice-President, American refiners were routinely importing about 1 million barrels a day of crude from Saudi Arabia, the second-largest supplier to the U.S after Canada and seen as a major security risk.
Just three presidential terms later, that flow has fallen to zero. It is the most visual manifestation of how little America now relies on Middle East oil, after shaping its foreign policy for decades around its need for crude.

But Trump was a Russian spy!
And nobody say it isn't funny because all we can do is laugh.

Biden is not going to be as good for oil/gas as Trump was...
But the referencing gas prices to a year ago is a bit loaded. Prices were shot from the OPEC fight and COVID.
What percentage of price increases do people seriously attribute to sitting president vs outside factors, I'm curious. Question open to any and everybody.
Is it possible President Biden is hurting America and Americans intentionally?

I don't see a thing in the OP that I disagree with. Instead of buying things you do not need for Christmas, build up a supply of things you do need at a lower price than it is going to be in another six months. I spent a lot of time fixing stuff up this summer and getting things set so we can wade through the transition of higher prices easier. It is depressing when you see how much stuff is increasing in the stores and at the gas pumps.....Since Biden got in office.

Even Democrats are feeling the pain. They are now joining in with Republicans and Independents who feel Joe Biden was elected via well-placed FRAUD.
This has caused the percentage of Americans who feel this way to increase from 53% to 56% over the past 30 days.
This what people voted for? is this how real Americans feels about our nation?

Your can of sardines processed in Thailand are going to skyrocket by the next sardine season. Short supply and we will be seeing whales beached probably by june or july of next year.
