Even back under $5 here in the Bay Area of California.
I'll betcha that Derec will join this thread shortly and sing the praises for Biden's oil/gas strategy!
I wasn't buying, but I noticed yesterday that the expensive place by the highway was 3.09.
It has changed my mine. I voted for Mr Biden because he was not Mr Trump. I had fairly low expectations for his policies and effectiveness as a POTUS. Given the external events beyond his control and his policy responses, I view him as “stealthy” effective.
Totally agree. I also had very low expectations for Biden. He's done amazingly well considering the fact that the house and the senate are so evenly split. He may go down as one of our greatest foreign policy presidents. He's the first president to do something about the supply chain (the chips). He got an infrastructure bill passed. I think that he'll pass several important bills during the upcoming lame duck session that will be incredibly important. And now he's brought the price of gas down substantially despite an Europe war and the supply chain mess. I think that we all should join Derec and sing "for he's a golly good fellow" to praise Biden!
Maybe the term "Let's Go Brandon" will take on new meaning.
No.
I'm not suggesting that any new stickers should be put on gas pumps; I am laughing at the fact that they were, by the GOP fanboys, and that they're now still in place, but sending the opposite message to that intended by the morons who put them there.
Which of Biden's policies do you credit for that? Cancelling KXL pipeline maybe?
Due to actions taken by the Fed, not the Biden administration.
Which is a double-edged sword, as it can fuel inflation.
You are understating the cost of the Ukraine military aid, but yeah, there are things Biden is doing well - functional government and the infrastructure bill most of all.
It will not change mine. My opinion has been that he is doing some things well, and others poorly. Like pushing for the $3.5T Spendapalooza which would have driven inflation even higher. Or ditching Iowa in favor of SC as a payback to Clyburn.
The Afghanistan withdrawal was especially successful. Maybe Norwegians can give him the Nobel Peace Prize for that.
Yes, he did pass some good bills. However, what bill(s) do you think he will able to pass in the three weeks (not counting the holiday week between Christmas and New Year's) remaining in this Congress?
And how exactly did he do that? Other than by draining the strategic reserve which is not supposed to be drained to score political points ahead of an election.
I would not go that far for sure. Like almost all politicians, he is a very mixed bag.
