U.S. gas prices are soaring again, posing another challenge to an inflation problem the Federal Reserve has battled over the past year and President Joe Biden claimed is all under control thanks to the much-touted “Bideonomics.”
The national average gallon of gas traded at $3.89 last week, its highest level since October 2022, according to the latest figures supplied by the AAA.
The pump price shows a variation across the country with some of the steepest jumps in Midwestern states, while in Washington state and California, prices have reached an average of $5 and $5.07 a gallon, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Democrats war on Amercian energy continues.
$4/gal in MT
This is great news, all those lower middle class and poor people that voted for Biden won’t be able to afford gas to go to work, finally they will be able to spend more time with their families instead of slaving for some rich greedy business owner...
“Brainless Joy Behar said everything is great. What gives?”
Here in the blue part of Ohio, lots of people agree with her, in spite of what their wallet tells them.
Quick, Joe, there’s still oil remaining in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve… SELL IT! /sarc
I’m sure Republican leadership will have something to say about this.
Yep, Joy Behar said the economy was booming, inflation was down, and why is everyone critical of Biden? or words to that effect.
She was confused, as to how anyone could criticize Joe about anything. She couldn’t understand how his job approval ratings are so low.
Courtesy note vote tomorrow Ohio.
Iowa has been 40 cents/gal or so less than Illinois but I saw this weekend they are the same, or a dime higher.
We are being played.
Lets’ face it.
Biden and democrats don’t know how to handle inflation, and the truth is that they can’t. It’s not possible.
Once prices go up for just about everything, they stay up, no matter how much the inflation rate goes down. Inflated prices can’t be reduced.
Higher wages are here to stay, because companies needed to hike them because of competition and because people demanded them in order to afford the inflated prices. Biden claiming to have created higher wage jobs, is pure garbage, since what he created is inflated prices, which caused people to demand higher wages.
Inflation cannot be tamed after prices have gone up. it’s a big fat lie that inflation is under control.
“I’m sure Republican leadership will have something to say about this.”
*************
They say a lot. The problem is they do nothing.
The Pedophile and his “experts” think Americans are really happy campers now. The trainwreck Bidenskyyyyy calls Bidenomics has trashed Bidenskyyyville. They always wanted to pay more for crap while it’s given away FREE to the new illegal FREELOADER “AMERICANS”.
FJB
I hope it gets worse. The scum in DC wont care until they start fearing for their lives.
That will happen when the punks in mostly the cities start to starve for lack of cash to obtain essential items to live on.
When the punks have to decide whether to pay for illegal drugs or food, and they find out they cant afford either, then watch.
Well if you take out gas, food and things like back to school supplies .... everything is fine.
Another nasty letter to president BiteMe, whom they selected and installed about how mad they are and upset I’m sure.
Other than local/state elections there really in no point in participating at the national level. There is no representation, just one party, pretending to be two parties in opposition but in reality voting together a vast majority of the time.
2024 will be a repeat of 2020/2022, lots of hype, lots of cheating and in the end all the GOP $ and effort wasted even if they manage to win. The GOP won’t of can’t lead and they are useless as an opposition party.
troubled and concerned.
