The previous president mortgaged the future, like that party always does when they get the presidency.
Nothing new here. EVERYTHING they do is to push disaster onto the other party, then stand there pointing fingers until they can enrich a few people all over again.

Right? Imagine being so dumb that you think Keystone had a bigger impact on prices than record GDP growth.
+1. Politics seriously turns almost everything and everyone it turns to $hit.
I pay zero for gas.
Gasoline is so 20th century.
Get an EV. Electricity is dirt cheap.

Good. We need a lot less flights in the air if we hope to leave a habitable planet to our grandchildren.

The 1st thing Biden did as President was shut down an oil pipeline in America while approving one in Russia.

Progressives' GOAL is higher gas prices. That's why they closed down that pipeline. It might have been only one, but the goal was literally to destroy supply and make prices go up. If they could, they'd close all of the pipelines, they just haven't duped Biden into it (yet).
Don't believe me, scroll above.
Who is the f u cking moron that started this thread in the college running forum? Whoever you are, you are an absolute f u cking idiot!!

I agree with you. I do think the Democrats are happy with the price of gas, secretly or openly.
Where I disagree with you is that this is something nefarious. Gas needs to be more expensive. Air travel and monster vehicles are too inexpensive. Our economy needs to modernize, our cultural values as Americans needs to shift. I have long been in favor of a large federal tax to raise the price of gas and to partly fund better rail systems.
As a runner I am always amazed that this site has so few environmentalists posting. Partly, I do think wealthy people are insulated from sprawl and pollution and traffic gridlock and think these things are less of a problem than they actually are.
Thanks Joe. And if we’re lucky with the progressive spending we’ll be just like Venezuela and have no gas at all. Yay progress is great!

My God. If you are still bringing up this topic up after all this time, you a truly the stupid of the stupid. Don't procreate.
The oil pipeline (Keystone) was an extension so that has nothing to do with the current price. Also, there are other ways to get the oil from Alberta to the US.
Keystone would go the ports in TX, and the oil would be on the world market. Tards who think the oil would magically become gasoline or diesel at the pump in the US need to suck on a gas pump for a while, and remove themselves from the gene pool.

Prices go up.
Americans are paying the most ever for everything pretty much every year.
Gas is still something right now that is historically cheap.
We've been talking about $5 gas forever.

I'm curious to see if we'll get to the point of odd-and-even license plates and gas rationing like 1973 and 1979. Can the Millennials and GenYs handle it?

And even if gas went up you'd still see rich people in big trucks because they could afford it.
I view it also like COVID--those advocating for WFH and lockdowns back in 2020 had good STEM-y or medical jobs and their finances weren't touched. Same with gas prices--a lot of libs (not all) want higher gas prices to save the environment but they have good jobs that allow them to withstand cost increases easier than working-class folks.

Also, USA pays way too less for gas, the price should be AT LEAST double, if you even pretend to care about climate change.
Clearly, you are insane.
Americans pay for diesel exactly half of what Western Europeans pay. And the price is about to rise even more in Europe.
And we also drive small and compact SUVs with 7L/100km consumption while USA drives large SUVs and Pick-Ups with 14L/100km consumption.
So I can tell your future:
Your gas prices will be level with Europe and you will sell your big cars really quick to buy something smaller. 2L Diesel Engines, forget the Petrol V6 or V8.
Still super cheap compared to europe.
In germany we pay around $7.50 (converted to dollars per gallon) right now - more than double what you have to pay.
So what is the problem here?
Rising gas prices hurt the middle and lower classes the most and Democrats don't give a hoot...Shows their true nature...
Converted to legacy units it's $8.40/gallon at gas stations in my vicinity (95 RON).
$5/gallon isn't much of an issue. Just buy electric if you can't cope.

I'm a progressive and I sort of agree. Higher gas prices means more people wake up and switch to electric.
You will thank me later as you wonder why you ever put up with the cost and hassle of owning a clunky gas powered car.
But the GOAL is to clean up the air and save humanity from the climate crisis. We really need to outlaw fossil fuels altogether.

Nope. They will switch to electric.
