“This speech is going to be forgotten — if it’s not already forgotten — but the public will still see empty store shelves, high prices and the cost of filling up their cars.”
Last Friday morning, the day after the Russian invasion, I filled up my car at our corner Shell for $3.05. Today, that same station is selling the same grade of gas for $3.58. That’s only up 17.4% in a single week, on top of a 91% increase from Election Day, 2029 (Steal Day?) until last Friday. Every single time I pass a gas station, whether I fill up or not, FJB or just FB comes out of my mouth. I’ll grant that I’m biased against him to begin with, but the degree of just plain and utter phuck-up in his/the Dems’ handling of the entire economy and especially the energy sector (which necessarily impacts ALL other goods) is the stuff of legend. Geez, he’s making Carter look like a so-so President, and that’s saying something. How you folks in CA and other states are dealing with the gas prices, I have no idea - but you have my sincere sympathies.
