Unlike Trump, Biden doesn’t have a ‘magic wand’ ... of competence.
Biden and the feds SHOULD have no control over gas prices, but they have the great potential of screwing prices all up like they have with inflation and unconstitutionally meddling in the marketplace for the last 100+ years.
Krugman’s economic assertions are actually political. Nah!!!
Lying sacks of poo gotta lie.
That’s the leftie talking point - that the President doesn’t have control over fuel prices.
And often when Brandon thinks he has gas, his farts have lumps.
And then Doc Jill and the cute Secret Service agent have to swing into action...
The economist who is always wrong.
“One issue that seems to have influenced voters Tuesday was the price of gasoline”
I’ll go along with that much..the part about the mummy having no control just insults my intelligence.
And OBTW....its gonna influence voters next November also.
Everyone but the commie-Dem base and the elites will blame Biden for the high gas prices, trying to protect him on this won’t work.
Kraully Pugman loves those fungible facts.
Krugman should have been put out to pasture a long time ago.
Krugman is a tool. Always has been.
It is really interesting to see The Left talking heads go Full Retard.
We now see that since the 80’s, they have been making things up just to keep The Story alive and The People asleep.
Krugman is utterly incapable of being embarrassed. He has contradicted himself so many times, depending on whether he is commenting on an R or a D that he has absolutely no credibility.
Dude lost his mind about thirty years ago and hasn’t found it since. Sad.
His very first act as POTUS was to close the pipeline and cancel offshore drilling contracts. But according to the left that had no impact on gas prices.
I’m confused. If I have to order something in that I buy and have to pay freight, at the least, aren’t I spending more money than I have to if the product is on the corner store like a gas station that gets the oil from US refineries? And if you shut down the stations’ ability to get local gas, and they have to pay the freight from overseas, isn’t the price going to go up? And if the seller, like OPEC, knows they can rip you off at the pumps by you using their gas, can’t they do anything they want with price just short of you telling them where to go?
Simple remedy, open up pipelines, more drilling in ANWAR, and get rid of the Biden initiative, (executive order), to stop new drilling in the west where huge components of oil and natural gas exist.
“Natural gas reserves in the Rocky Mountain States account for nearly 22 percent of the total natural gas reserves in the United States, and are mostly located in unconventional tight‐gas or coalbed formations.”

More oil resources are deposited in the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming than the entire world’s proven oil reserves combined.

We’ve got so much oil we can tell them what they will pay. And that amount doesn’t relate to places like Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, and California which also produce a huge amount of oil and natural gas.

The problem is not the oil companies, it’s the government ordering them not to do what they do legally.

When has Krugman ever been right about anything? I never read his columns.
Nothing new here really given Krugman has long been a walking, talking, and breathing contradiction...
How did that ass clown Krugman ever get that Nobel prize???????
