    I'm sorry that the wanna be dictator couldn't just relieve debt via fiat, but we have this pesky little thing that Democrats gate called the constitution that got in the way and thankfully we still have decent judges that recognize that.

    Lol, I finally started seeing gas prices under $4 per gallon after years of over $5 per gallon (and sometimes $6 per gallon in 2020). But sure, gas prices are up, just like you didn't vote for Trump. :itsokay:

    So do you support student loan debt relief and an increased minimum wage? Because it's not clear.

    I would support a minimum wage hike, I’m not sure about student debt relief.

    Something to keep in mind is that yes, gas was under a $1.50 in 2004 for a bit.

    But those were 2004 dollars.

    In 2023 dollars that would be $2.44.

    For those that prefer data I have provided links with plenty of data all throughout this thread, but for some reason those get ignored. It’s weird.

    Yeah, it’s almost like you have a history of not posting in good faith, posting misleading links, posting links that don’t say what you think they say due to your reading comprehension disability, and outright lying.

    Or all of the above.

    I ask again, did you actually read the article you posted? Not just the headlines or some RW youtuber telling you what it said. Did you read the actual article?

    I ask not as a gotcha but because the data in it isn’t what you seem to think it is.

    He's probably getting at the fact that the interests of US producers and US consumers are not the same. Oil is a fungible resource and they will sell much of it abroad as a result.

    In before someone claims the Saudis are going to let prices fall below a certain point.

    Not only is the US producing more oil than it has ever before, it's producing more oil than any country in history.

    Who is mad about that here? Not the environmentalists. The people that get their news from right wing sources.

    Because they lie constantly. Biden bad.
