but their voter-base is clueless, like children, so it works
Gas stations make very little money off gas sales. It’s everything inside the store they make money on. And the supply chain is reacting to the normal supply and demand, as well as what’s happening in the futures market.
And quit tapping our emergency reserve, Brandon! This situation isn’t what it was established for.
Welcome back Carter!
Defeat in Vietnam Afghanistan! Stagflation! Invasion from the Soviets Russians! Soaring gas prices! Gas shortages!
Is there any end to the talents of Democrat governance?
“Republicans will face a dilemma”
That’s all this is about. Trying to reframe the disastrous gas prices as “Republicans’ fault” instead of it being the result of Joe Biden and the Democrats’ failed policies.
There's the real goal. To continue padding Deep State's payrolls...
From 1963...
The jokes just write themselves.
Here is the #1 Price Gouger:
Are they going to start with the Price-Gouger-in-Chief, Joe Biden????????
Oh Hire more libs and commies into the federal government. Yeah that’s the ticket!
But not government gouging.
Taxes are patriotic!
After all, price controls worked so well last time...
So now they weaponize the FTC and go after the corner gas stations. If you think you can’t hate the rats any more think again.
Here is question that I always ask. How much does the taxpayer have to pay continually to combat price gouging? I mean, there was a story about some state that was coming down on hardware stores selling generators at double price after a hurricane (or something). So, people who had not prepared and bought a generator in the months and years before the natural disaster were facing “price gouging” and the state was bringing the full force of its power against the retailers. But what was the continual cost of this protection? The people tasked in the consumer protection agency and the attorney general’s office - the myriad of bureaucrats and regulators - how much did THAT cost? So a few people get spared paying an extra $500 on a generator. But, the cost of these “watchdogs” has to be paid by someone. When can we say that government is “gouging” you?
The democrat solution: blame others and censor those who blame the democrats.
Instead of offering good and real solutions to the problems, democrats always come up with ideas which make the problems worse.
Republicans will point out how closing off pipelines and drilling has put Americans at risk and enriched Iran and Venezuela! Republicans need to get ahead of this NOW!
It would be an improvement if Democrats ran fence posts for office.
These people are so stupid.
They don’t understand the first thing about economic principles.
It’s so sad that they these lawyers know nothing about economics.
Ten cents per gallon difference over 12 miles. We are being played.
As the federal govt rakes in illions and billions with fed gas tax.
