The Biden administration is looking into prices at the pump and why they are higher than they are supposed to be.
“There’s lots of evidence that gas prices should be going down -- but they haven’t,” President Joe Biden said on Thursday, as quoted by Bloomberg. “We’re taking a close look at that.”
“We’re also going after the bad actors and pandemic profiteers in our economy,” the U.S. president also said.
U.S. gas prices have risen by as much as 50 percent since the start of the year. Earlier this week, the average reached $3.19 per gallon, Bloomberg noted, citing data from the AAA, which is the highest since October 2014. The reason for the rise appears to be a strong rebound in fuel demand as the U.S. reopened after pandemic lockdowns. Still, the Biden administration has signaled it had its suspicions about other factors at play.
...
last month, the Biden administration called on OPEC+ to boost oil production in order to help U.S. retail gas prices to fall. The call caused a sour reaction in Alberta, which is the biggest supplier of foreign oil to the United States, and no reaction from OPEC+.

Next week: “I’ve heard there’s a huge rush to the southern border, so I’m going to investigate what is causing it.”
Next month: “I’ve heard that the Taliban obtained billions of dollars of American materiel, so I’m going to investigate what is causing it.”

They don’t believe we are ALL that stupid, only those that continue to mindlessly support them. If they can do this “investigation” and release the “results” they know their imbecilic followers will swallow it whole.
