On Sunday’s This Week, the mostly-liberal “Powerhouse Roundtable” couldn’t handle the fact that the results of an ABC/IPSOS poll showed over sixty percent of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s handling of gas prices.
“Our new poll, interesting numbers. First of all, it showed overwhelming support for the ban on Russian oil, 77 percent support it, even if it means the poll question even if it means higher gas prices here at home,” fill-in host Jon Karl reported while breaking down the poll’s findings.
“But take a look at this other question we asked, which is, Biden's handling of gas prices, do you approve? 70 percent disapprove, so, in other words, ban Russian oil even if it means higher gas prices, but we're going to blame Biden.” Karl couldn’t understand how the public could simultaneously support banning Russian oil knowing it will lead to higher prices at the pump, while also disapproving of Biden’s failure to take any measures to lower prices.

“Colbert...recently said something like ‘$4 a gallon gas is worth the price... ‘”
I saw that clip on an ad for his show. After that statement he had the gall to say HE would be willing to pay $10/gallon. Big sacrifice for a celebrity to pay that much. Another “let them eat cake” moment by a liberal elitist.
Exactly. Except I had the stock wheels and didn’t have the cargo lights or strip down the side but yeah. Thanks.
Imagine what they would be saying if gas prices had risen by just a small amount under Trump. They would have savaged him.
It was a pretty truck. Right?

This is how we “get used to” higher gasoline prices.
It is obvious that Jon Karl does not care about them. He only cares what it might do to the Democrat elite.
It is.
40k? You can’t touch an F150k class for less than 60k. King Ranch around $80k.
I was planning on buying an RV and seeing the USA this year. Not now!
Yeah, we got used to stability, low to modest inflation, good stock market returns, decent wages, plentiful food, plentiful fuel, a [somewhat] competent government run by adults, a Chief Executive (i.e., President) who was successfully rolling back tens of thousands of pages of intrusive regulation, a government that wasn’t trying to dictate how we live the minutiae of our lives.
We got used to freedom and happiness.
We should all be ashamed for getting used to that horrible mess.
The journalists and panelists are simply actors for the Democrat Socialist Party.

Trump policies achieved energy independence and low prices. America will not be allowed to forget that or forgive f Joe.
The reality is that gas prices have not gone up or down much, only wht value of money has changed.
When I was a kid gas was 19.9 cents a gallon, 2 dimes would buy a gallon of gas. Today 2 silver dimes are worth about $5.00 for their silver content, the same as a gallon of gas.
Ah....What about wages?
You can make that kind of rational all day long, but the fact is wages have not gone up enough to cover that, food, rent or a mortgage.
