Vice resident Kamala Harris claimed Wednesday that the Biden administration has worked to provide Americans with lower gas and electricity bills despite higher-than-normal energy prices putting a financial crunch on many families.
"For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation," she said during a speech on efforts to lower costs for homebuyers at Bowie State University in Maryland.
In response to Harris' remarks, the Republican National Committee stated that electricity and gas costs are up.
"What is she talking about? Electricity is up 11.9%, fuel oil is up 27.7%, and natural gas is up 26.7% over last year," an RNC tweet read.
In January, President Biden touted a decline in fuel prices after months of record-high prices at the pump. However, he was criticized by Republicans who said families have had to deal with an increase in energy costs since he took office.
"Gas prices are up $1.03 a gallon from when Joe Biden took office. Biden's administration continues to undermine American energy," RNC rapid response director Tommy Pigott tweeted at the time. "Families have lost $2,250 paying higher energy costs since he took office."
In December, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called a special legislative session to tax California’s oil refiners while blaming them for the state's high energy prices.
During her speech, Harris announced the lowering of mortgage insurance payments for all new FHA (Federal Housing Administration) homeowners by nearly 40% beginning March 20.

Would have helped if they didn’t BLOW UP 10% of the world’s natural gas supply under the Baltic Sea.
“So folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation,”
school supplies = $100.00
Dishwasher = $600.00
Vacation = $3000.00
Well... that and cackle.
Since we taxpayers pay the utility bills for the house where she lives, she has no clue about electric, heat, etc. She needs to STFU.
Horizontal’s mothertruckin’ CB moniker is Legs Akimbo.
She doesn’t know because she doesn’t pay for her gas/electric. We do.
The motto of the Biden administration should be “We Just Lie About Everything”.
Someone else posted an article above just a few minutes ago.
Alabama power rates up 21% this year.
At least that’s one thing they’re consistent at.
That’s insane. They’re trying to crush us. Make it so nobody can afford to live without the gov help.
“Heels up, Knees wide” needs to stick to what it does best and stay away from a microphone.....it confuses it.
Their voters hear the speeches, block themselves off from any contrary opinion, believe the speeches and presentments and will vote the same come next election in VERY big numbers.
“Reality” has nothing to do with it.
The idiocracy is complete, and firmly in control.
They don’t — can’t — won’t — hear anything that conflicts. Herr Goebbles would be proud.
comrades, the chocolate ration has been increased from 29 grams to 21 grams ...
I am using significantly less KWH per month compared to previous years and paying more every month. Maybe the shrinking hyena is talking about the Ukraine paying less since her regime and the neocons, warcons, etc... have given them everything but the kitchen sink.
The Jiggling Giggler is at it again. Good thing she has the government paying her heat and electric costs. It would break her pee-picking heart if she had to do it. Even with the big money she’s making as a politician.
Hugo Chavez claimed that his administration has worked to provide poor Venezuelans with lower gas and electricity bills while at the same time raising prices for the rich in that country.
That did happen. This admin is taking pointers from Venezuela.
Her comments are especially important as Black History Month draws to a conclusion.
Kamela is making Black History
Completely out of touch. Insulting to families who are experiencing first hand the consequences of this buffoonish incompetent administration.
Electricity, natural gas, food, other groceries, interest rates, etc. higher.
