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+.

In other news, Biden administration launches probe into rising number of illegal border crossings. “There’s lots of evidence crossings should be going down, but they haven’t”.
Great, insightful response.
Hey, Clueless Joe, ya wanna see the bad actor, look in a friggin’ mirror!
Renewed reliance on Arab oil.

Renewed reliance on Arab and Russian oil.
Joe doesn’t even know if his butt has been wiped.
Hey Bugout Biden, who was the guy who signed all those Anti US Gas and Oil productions EOs on his 1st day in office?
Standard 1970s era Democrat politics. Create a mess with stupid Govt polices and then blame “bad actors” for the consequences of their actions.
“The Biden administration is looking into prices at the pump and why they are higher than they are supposed to be.”
They are higher than they should be because an idiot cancelled America’s gas and oil independence the first day in office. Any idea who that might be?
Are you a singer? I used to be in bands of old...mostly a drummer. Sometimes a front man, more often behind my kit. Think Phil Collins.
Whistle while you work,
Biden is a jerk,
Newsolini bit his weenie
Now it doesn’t work.
By Jove, I think you’ve got it, Nateman.
I hope he bends over and takes a deep breath because that prove is going to extend and end straight up his #$$.
Cut supply, prices go up! DC is full of mucking forons.
We’re also going after the bad actors and pandemic profiteers in our economy,...
There is the real statement of intent.
Just another reason to trash the oil industry, raise taxes on them and make their lives more difficult.
Dems have been doing this to the oil companies since the 1970’s.
You know, it’s a good thing that we can’t vote using our computer. I have no doubt my Autocorrector is a flaming socialist.
“PROVE” SHOULD BE “PROBE” you idiot.
I invite the Biden regime/Democrats
to self probe at least once every day.
If he wants to know why the price of of fuel is rising he should look into a mirror.🙄
Yah beat me to it.👍
Just saw.😫
That’s supposed to be eww not saw dang autocorrect.😖
This is a feel-good probe meant to quiet down the taxpayers. I very confidently predict this probe will go exactly nowhere.
