The point I'm trying to make is that everyone is taking a hit. It's just not the USA. The various wars around the world have raised prices. To say, "It's all Bidens fault" is just a plain lie.

We produce more oil now than we did under Trump.
We had energy independence under Trump.
We don't have it under Biden.
That's going to effect prices of everything.
How were we more energy independent 5-6 years ago vs now?
This isn’t me saying which admin is better, this is me pointing out we can’t fix the core issues if we don’t address them.
The core issue has been fiscal policy. And it’s mostly been bipartisan.

My wife likes Taylor Swift's music and votes Trump.
So too, do many of her friends.
Nuff said?
So you would have to live in a cave or be new to the economy to not know it was that Trump was selling oil around the world and now we don't have enough because the progressive assholes are tackling "man made global warming" as if it was true when they are just fat liars about that issue too.

This is obviously another perfect example of Trump becoming more and more unhinged everyday as his poll numbers continue to fall.
Even Floridas probably going to end up flipping with the way Trumps behaving.

More oil yes, but not keeping up to par, and reducing by-products production in demand. THAT's how they are doing the planned kill-off. 😉 Looks like millions fell for the deceptions again. 🤣🤣

I don’t take political talking points from candidates as gospel, I just go look at the numbers myself, especially since I invest.
We’re the number one producer of oil in the world. We’re producing more now than any country ever has yearly.
So the next question would be why are oil prices higher? And there are two reasons. One is it’s a global market. If Europe is willing to pay more, then oil companies are going to sell more there and prices will be higher here. But the biggest reason is inflation itself.
Energy prices aren’t driving inflation, inflation is driving energy prices. So if you go look at the price per gallon from 2019 to now and adjust for inflation, they’re pretty similar.
As I said, the reason for inflation can be tracked to the M2 money supply. Supply and demand.
Note the M2 doesn’t factor public and private debt, which has also ballooned since COVID.

I sure don't take a word from anybody without verifying and that is why I said what I said. I did my homework. Oil production has been hampered and Trump was "drill baby drill" like the McCain campaign.

I provided my charts above, I’ll await yours that show we’ve been decreasing in production vs consumption, or imports outweighing exports.
Keep in mind I’m not arguing one side or the other. I’m saying neither are addressing the root causes of inflation.
The energy talking point is moot IMO as both admins have improved our energy stance, and we could even say Biden copied Trumps playbook if that helps.
