The average national price for gasoline is at $2.38 for the week of Jan. 19, 2021,
According to AAA the national average right now (3/11/22) is $4.331. Let’s say Putin is responsible for the $0.75 as Biden claims, that still leaves Biden needing to explain the other $1.20.

LOL...now we know.....Biden only gets information his handlers give him
“I’m sick of this stuff… The American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money,” Biden said angrily. “Simply. Not. True.”
“Democrats didn’t cause this problem. Vladimir Putin did,” Biden said
“From the moment he put his over 150,000 troops on the Ukrainian border, the price of gasoline in January went up 75 cents,”
“Make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of Putin,” Biden griped.

From the time Biden's $1.9T spending bill passed in March - which Obama economist Larry Summers called "the least responsible economic policy in 40 years" - inflation has outpaced wage growth, giving Americans a pay-cut.
Inflation was an issue during Trump's initial term (I'm hoping he has a second) but the highest it ever got to was... 2.5%? Right now it's going on 8% and climbing quickly. Biden can't really blame Putin as it had already rapidly expanded from 1.7% in February of last year to 7.5% as of this recent January. Let him accept accountability for the egregious expenditure if the buck truly stops with him. All the Green New Deal and social justice initiatives they packaged with heavy price tags lies at the feet of his congress and himself.
The inflation that began months before President Putin invaded Ukraine is President Putin's fault!?!?!
No it was Trumps fault up to the point where Putin stepped into Ukraine.
Why can't the Dems ever tell us the truth? Why do they always have to blame everyone else but themselves? Why do they always have to sugar coat everything by sweetening the terms. The words for Illegal Aliens have been sweetened and ever changing from undocumented immigrants, paperless workers, migrant workers and now they are just plain immigrants.
Full blown Riots were "mostly peaceful protests"...
Words matter of course and the Dems will dumb down and sweeten them all except when they choose to attack a rival. Anyone that liked Trump is a Neo Nazi White Supremacist Racist. How ugly is that?
Just tell it like it is Biden and accept the facts. Stop lying to us. Inflation is rising because of your failed policies and spiteful EO's.
Stop living by the polls and start acting for us today not for an election that is months away..
There's been something called covid. It's caused prices to go up worldwide. You should listen to the people in England complain about the high price of gas (petrol) for their cars. They're really upset about the high cost of heating oil too. Covid has practically turned our world upside down and you can't blame one person for it. Maybe a country far away that dropped the ball, but not one leader of a country.
