Bingo…so many debacles under Sleepy Joe, along with muh war on fossil fuels. That sure helped, lol. Perhaps Sleepy Joe can get into bed with Putin again to buy his oil and help fund his war with the profits
So then why aren't Republicans attacking Big Oil for price gouging the American people and instead blame the Democrats? What is the Republican response other than being meat puppets to daddy Big Oil?

Sleepy Joe declared war on fossil fuels and it’s skyrocketed since because Trump. Let him suffer the consequences as he continues to dig himself deeper. It’ll greatly help with the red wave. I was hoping it would go to at least $7/gallon and those affected most were those that voted for him, and watch him and them wriggle, and I think it was close to that in California. Huge consequences for voting with hurt feelings and mean tweets.

I've already covered that. I'll use different months and numbers this time with Y Charts as my source. In January '21 when Biden was declared President at the counting of the electors, gas prices averaged 2.403 or over $2.40 a gallon. Compare that to January '22 where it was $3.394 or roughly $3.40 a gallon. You can blame some of that on COVID driving up demand prices in that time, but it still don't explain the profit. On July 5th, '21, gas prices averaged $3.216 or roughly $3.22 a gallon. Compare that with July 4th, '22, gas prices averaged $4.879 or roughly $4.88 a gallon. That is up over the $1.00 it was in January to being over $1.50. That is greed. Why do you condone corporate greed?

Nobody makes more off a gallon of gas than GOVERNMENT! Why do you condone government greed?

Why doesn't gov't just stop taxing gas?
$0.184 which is the federal gas tax is the most anyone makes off a gallon of gasoline? You really believe the lies peddled to you by Big Oil meat puppets? I mean yeah the margin is really only $0.04-0.07 for most Big Oil companies, but I don't see the $0.184 being make or break. Let's go back to my July price per gallon comparison. $3.216 becomes $3.032 (slightly higher than $3.03) a gallon in 2021 versus $4.695 (slightly lower than $4.70) a gallon. I get that is a dollar off every sale, but is that make or break? I don't think so. What exactly happened with Big Oil that they are making double and triple the profits yet charging over $1.00 more for each gallon of gasoline?

Big Gov't is spending >50% of GDP....over 1/2 of everything we produce....greedy BIG Gov't is the real problem. 1/2 the pizza pie has been eaten by big gov't, by the time American voters even get to sit down to the dinner table.
Big Gov't produces NOTHING, but big energy does. Big gov't is a lethal parasite killing its host.

Can you just imagine how loud the GOP and far right would be crying if this was done by a Dem. not wanting to leave office. Fox and Hannity would have it on 24 hours a day. The GOP constantly mentions things the Dems are doing, when THEY themselves are doing it, to deflect guilt. Like they are good at doing.
Don't fret OP....the Republicans won't blow the midterms. They've got Tens of Millions of:
-independents
-moderate Dems
-Latino's
-suburban women
-Af-Am men
-religious people including Southern Baptists
-parents of school-age students
-victims of inner-city crime
-Americans w/o student loans
-Americans who live along the border
-suvivors of Fentanyl victims
-energy sector workers
& lots of other groups on their side.
