“The Biden administration is looking into prices at the pump and why they are higher than they are supposed to be.”

You only have to use a mirror Joe.

“There’s lots of evidence that gas prices should be going down -- but they haven’t . . .”

Says the moron who spent an entire six months of his life working for the private sector and probably couldn't pass an Economics 101 course at a junior college.

"Supposed to be" = maximum price that has no significant effect on Democrat polling numbers.

Gouging = people notice the price increase and yearn for a real president to come back.

“We are governed by feckless imbeciles”

Collectively, we are feckless imbeciles.

Babylon Bee, right???

My very first thought, too, when I read that headline. The poor BB could be forced out of business by Biden World Reality.

Any 12 yr old can tell you why. Why do we always need multi year studies for common sense solutions.

Create a problem and then investigate the cause of the problem.

Quite the business plan ya got there, Joseph Stolen.

Current gas prices also include what the market feels about the future. They are not optimistic.

Joe, just look into a mirror to see why gas prices are up!

I was waiting after Labor Day to do my once a quarter fill up on my Honda Ridge line, when prices went lower.

They have increased and now run from $4.25 to 4.55 per gallon.

So thanks, Joe, Dems in Congress, Rinos and Governor Gruesome.

Create a problem and then investigate the cause of the problem.

Then blame someone else for the problem and say how impatient you are because they failed to fix the problem!

Just a cover story, they will go after the energy industry.

They want to give those trillions to themselves and their green company friends while at the same time weakening America strategically and lowering our standard of living.

All with the end result being a one world authoritarian oligopoly with a common people serfdom too weak to do anything about it, and an elite desperately trying to extend the lifetimes of a few through transhumanism.

They always have the opposite intentions of what are stated. This is to help the little guy, right. No, it’s to ultimately destroy him.

Yet it seems so many sheep are that stupid.

Yep. Game plan:

• He will beat that drum a while
• The MSM will dutifully pick it up and amplify it
• The liberal kook sheeple will lap it up

Soon we'll be hearing from all quarters how evil capitalist corporations are oppressing the poor downtrodden plebes with price gouging and the only solution is either nationalizing the oil industry or communism.

Or both.

Shortest probe in history: Biden shut down the pipelines and started buying oil from other countries.

Not rocket science.

LOL——That’s like the mafia probing into accidental deaths of their enemy.
