Want proof that the Biden administration is really the second incarnation of the Carter administration? We have runaway inflation, Americans trapped overseas, a member of the first family who tried to do business with Libya and a president begging the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies (OPEC Plus) to increase oil production. It’s like the 1970s all over again.
Gas prices have risen $1 a gallon since Joe Biden’s election, while crude oil prices have doubled since November to $83 per barrel — and some analysts predict they could rise by another $10 before the end of the year. Natural gas prices have shot up more than 150 percent in the same period, which means winter heating bills for the half of American homes that use natural gas are projected to be 30 percent higher than last year — 49 percent higher in the Midwest.
This is the result of deliberate policy choices. Biden has made clear his intention to tax and regulate the fossil fuel industry out of existence. During the 2020 campaign, he declared, “I guarantee you. We’re going to end fossil fuel.”
Well, those threats have consequences. Today, the number of rigs producing oil across the United States is 528, roughly half its 2019 peak under President Donald Trump. When you tell oil producers you plan to put them out of business, they are not going to bolster production or drill more wells. When your $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” plan would impose punitive taxes oil and gas, the producers are going to get the picture that building back better doesn’t include them.
And when you make clear you plan to destroy an industry, banks and investment firms stop investing in it. The New York Times reports that the “flow of capital from Wall Street

If only it were just that. Don’t be fooled.
Carter didnt do it deliberately. Carter was just ignorant. Biden is a puppet for BroncoBoma and he’s deliberately destroying the infrastructure. It will be replaced by a communist equivalent from the coneheaded administrative state.
The difference is, Jimmy Carter did what he did out of incompetence, whoever is in charge of the government now is doing it out of greed and malice
At least Carter had his wits about him (he still does).
As bad as Jimmy Crater was, he was not personally corrupt and liberals (not Leftists) at the time believed in individual rights, freedom of speech, etc.
Was this really published in the Washington Post?
Nope. Total fraud. 100%. He's evil.
Yes, Thiessen writes for the Washington Post. It was republished by the AEI with which he is also associated.
There must be a special breeding ground some where for the Marxists to get democrats.
Biden is dumber than a ham sandwich...ham, cheese, and malaise on white bread.
And instead of Billy Carter, we now have Hunter

What is happening now is going to make the 70’s inflation seem like a picnic.
Stupid people have a big advantage over the rest of us—they never have to find out when they f&^%ed up....!
At least we got Billy Beer out of Carter’s brother. All Hunter has contributed is some crappy paintings.
Agreed—I always thought Woodrow Wilson was the worst president (or tied for worst with LBJ).
Wilson’s disasters included World War I (an insane horror show that was a family feud between European monarchs—no way we should have sent our young men to that slaughterhouse), the Federal Reserve (burning us big time ever since), and the income tax (made rich people richer with all the loopholes while burning the middle class—for a century).
TUCKER WAS ON FIRE IN THIS ONE. IF HE KEEPS THIS UP, FOX (AKA, THE MURDOCK BOYS) MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESIST THE PRESSURE FROM THE LEFT TO DUMP HIM.

“In my view Carter was a caring human being.”
Take a socialist, drape him in meaningless Christian clothing/speech/habits and you have Jimmy Carter.
Don’t let the meaningless veneer of christianity worn by Carter fool you. Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson are all “pastors” of Christian denominations.
Jimmah Cahtuh fits right in with them.
No, “Talibiden” is WORSE THAN JIMMY CARTER. At least Carter just didn’t know any better; but Biden and his goons are doing all of this, bringing down the US economy on purpose.
Biden is America’s Hugo Chavez.
