In late 1973, an Arab-led oil embargo on several Western countries sent gas prices soaring, forcing Americans to ration their time behind the wheel. To conserve gasoline, a newly minted senator from Delaware voted in favor of capping the nation’s speed limit at 55 mph. Almost 50 years later, Joe Biden is overseeing a petroleum price crisis of his own making through his self-proclaimed “clean energy revolution.” As consumers face soaring gas prices, President Biden needs to pump the breaks on his punishing policies.
According to the AAA, the national average gas price has recently hit a seven-year high of $3.24 per gallon. The rise is being felt across the country, in both the highest and lowest cost states. Texas often enjoys some of the lowest average gas prices in America, but drivers have faced roughly a $1 per gallon increase over the past year. Meanwhile in California, where Sacramento imposes the highest gas tax in the country, the state average is up by approximately $1.20.

The Biden Crime Family is doing just fine.
“pump the breaks”
Oliver, it’s a thoughtful piece but I’m taking 5 points off for that one.
I guess the Biden Crime Family was the “A Team” that Obama was looking for, when he was running for his third term.
Let’s Go Brandon. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
“Cat’s paw”, an idiom, meaning “the dupe of another”, from the fable “The Monkey and the Cat”.
Yeah, we want to pump the oil. To think, not that long ago we were energy independent. Weird huh? 😕
Impeach 46.
It’s what inflation does for the price of art.
Robespierre was executed by Guillotine. A fitting end to all tyrants.
+100
Yes, Robespierre had his “FUJB” moments before they executed him.
“Robespierre and his adherents were condemned to the guillotine, where Robespierre died shrieking, owing to the pain in his broken jaw when the bandage was removed (July, 1794). When he was executed, the spectators clapped loudly, for they were glad to be rid of him.”
Because of rising fuel costs, President Brandon to
lower speed limit to 45 mph on freeways and 35 on
regular streets.
Sure it will take longer to get somewhere but think of
the gas we’ll save...Come on Man!
<>Robespierre was executed by Guillotine.<>
Yeah, and only in his second year of power.
2022 is very close.
Less Robespierre and more Henry VI....
