CNN is apparently desperate to convince Americans to stop taking the glass-half-empty view of absurdly high gas prices that declined somewhat. Look on the bright side, says CNN: think of the small gas price dip as a $100-a-month raise instead!
“Next time you stop at a gas station, think of it as a $100-a-month tax cut. Or a maybe $100-a-month raise,” CNN tweeted to its over 59 million followers on Aug. 19. The original CNN Business Senior Writer Chris Isidore’s propaganda piece was headlined: “America just got a $100-a-month raise.” CNN’s tweet was massively ratioed with over a whopping 7,100 comments and only over 980 likes so far. Isidore put a hefty spin on the minor drop in gas prices from $5.02 in June to $3.92: “The steady drop in gas prices over the last few months has turned into an unexpected form of economic stimulus.” In Isidore’s absurd logic, “Since the typical US household uses about 90 gallons of gas a month, the $1.10 drop in prices equals a savings of $98.82.” Yikes.
Newsflash to Isidore: the national average price for a gallon of gas on the day President Joe Biden took office in January 20, 2021 “was approximately $2.39,” which is a sizeable $1.53 less than the Aug. 19 average he's celebrating now.

Right after a $300 per month screwing.
The difference between CNN and Russian state TV is the Russians know they are lying. Sad to see how far CNN has fallen.
Libtards eat this crap up and since that’s the only audience CNN has that’s not captive in an airport they just go with it
What a windfall, shopping sprees here we come!
Gee, what would the economic effect be if Biteme and NOT scuttled the XL pipeline and had NOT messed with fracking, had not disallowed new drilling and had just left Trump’s energy plan in place? Hmmmmmmm?
Went back up in my area. +20 cents past couple days.
And the chocolate ration has been increased to 20 grammes per week!!!
I'm only paying a buck and a half more that the 2 and a half bucks more than I was paying before the "election" got stolen!!
They have 59 million suckers? It’s amazing how many people believe the bull. The Democrats may gain seats in the Senate after Biden’s horrible first 19 months.
When the eventual complete societal meltdown comes, it will be unlike any other.
So many scores to settle.
If only gas prices had gone higher I could have gotten a bigger raise.

Good tagline bro.
100.00 raise bee ess ..... It was the 100 bucks I had to move from the grocery budget to the fuel budget. So now I get to move some back and hope the other 2 hundred bucks can get moved back soon as the ramen 3 meals a day sucks.
Congratulations! I think I’ll also go count how many checks I have in my checkbook to find out how wealthy I am. In fact, maybe I’ll order some more checks just to boost my wealth a little more.
