Biden administration tells Americans to suck it up on that $5 gas: Having failed to bring energy prices down, they now say it's all for a good cause

It's astonishing how out of touch the Joe Biden administration is with voters. We're talking about tin ears, brains and bodies.

A reporter asked a White House official about those soaring energy prices at the pump -- the number one issue occupying likely voters' attention, according to a recent Rasmussen poll -- and got this:

CNN: "What do you say to those families that say, 'listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years?’"

BIDEN ADVISOR BRIAN DEESE: "This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm." pic.twitter.com/LWilWSo72S — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) July 1, 2022

How inspiring. Seems that releasing the Strategic Petroleum Reserves did nothing to bring down high energy prices, and blaming Putin didn't resonate with the public. So now it's the New World Order as the hill we die on. Can you say 'pathetic'?

It seemed to be part of a sync'd talking points memo that Joe and his pathetic minions all read from:

Biden says Americans will have to stomach high gas prices “as long as it takes” to beat back Putin’s invasion of Ukraine https://t.co/npiUbJaZDl — Bloomberg (@business) June 30, 2022

Thanks for volunteering us, Joe...

Some let us know what the Big Idea is with these no-end-in-sight soaring prices at the pump:

Biden Energy Sec. Granholm triples down on ‘green’ as ‘the only way out’ of high gas prices | Climate Depot https://t.co/Tm2jp637zJ — Marc Morano (@ClimateDepot) June 28, 2022

And the bottom line here is that it's not happening -- there's no end in sight for soaring fuel prices, and there's certainly no greenie economy arising as a result of it -- for this reason right here:

Biden would have you think that inflation derives from oil prices, and Vlad Putin somehow controls those prices based on our refusal to buy his oil (the Chicoms get it now) and Putin has driven oil prices higher just to be mean to us.

It’s garbage. Fact is, higher energy prices can be alleviated to some extent by permitting the production of more oil and natural gas as well as buying from Canada, instead of relying on expensive imports from overseas petrotyrants, or by releasing the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which is the Biden plan for the higher energy prices he’s brought us.

His call to Americans to endure higher energy prices Because Putin is nothing short of outrageous. What’s more, even if he does manage to unhorse Putin, prices at the pump would not go lower. Biden, after all, wants the higher oil prices — to convert the economy to greenie energy.

He can’t let go of this bad idea. He can reverse himself on a lot of policies but this one seems set in stone, and made worse by his failure to understand basic economics.

Maybe Joe can do a Jimmy Carter and put on a cardigan to address the American people about the need for this

Just for the sake of argument, let’s say “yes - it’s for a good cause.” SO WHERE’S THE VIABLE/IN-PROGRESS PLAN TO REPLACE FOSSIL FUELS?? There CAN’T be a good cause if there’s not a follow-through on a replacement solution already in place!!

Total incompetence at every level of this administration.

I thought this guy couldn’t have been so stupid as to say this out loud, but he did.

Just a side effect of the New World Order.

Everyone who votes for Democrats and Assistant Democrats is getting just what they voted for.

Bringing down the reserves is part of killing US oil supply. They are literally destroying the country’s wealth, will trigger CWII, and from the ashes, the gov, if they survive, will award basic income to anyone who swears allegiance.

Biden's an idiot.

It's not Russia as much as it was Biden's anti-energy policies.

I'd be okay if they wanted to reduce dependency on fossil fuels IF they had a feasible alternative energy plan.

To block production of fossil fuels with no plan is ludicrous.

Where are the nuclear plants that will be needed to produce the electricity to get off of fossil fuels? Here is what I would do.

I don’t think too many Americans care about Ukraine so I doubt this is going to win any support.

Remember this guy was vice president to Obama who said “the prices of energy will necessarily skyrocket”.

Meanwhile we are being told we will own nothing an like it while Bill Gates is allowed to circumvent US Law regarding the purchase of US farmland. Apparently he gets to own a whole lot, unlike us.

Ukraine has nothing to do with gas prices yet we have to keep hearing the lie repeated over and over by this piece of sheit fraud decrepit clown posing as a president.

Our leaders do not have a transition plan to go from fossil fuel to total green, non-carbon based energy. They are just shoving us off the plank so to speak. Well I suggest we should take the same plan with their desire of one world government and the vaulted “You’ll own nothing” — And “you’ll be happy about it” program. How? We stop paying taxes, they just caused governments to increase debt for more control which does not lead to happiness. We should also stop recognizing our local governments, this just leads them to think they still will be necessary. No, from now on we only answer to the One World Government! No One World Government yet? Well I will save up my tax payments until there is one. No reason to continue supporting an entity which caused all these problems.
