Over the last few months, the Biden administration has done everything within its power to sway the American people into believing that the surge in gas prices has nothing to do with Joe Biden, and everything to do with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Due to the invasion of Ukraine, President Biden has been adamant that Americans struggling at the gas pump is all because of Putin. Biden even called for a gas tax holiday that would save Americans a staggering $12 a month, which was not supported even by his own party. And while most aren’t buying the narrative, the coordinator for energy security, Amos Hochstein, appeared to laugh about the problem when asked to address it on CNBC.

In the video, which is featured below, Hochstein was being interviewed about the growing problem when he was informed, “Some would say there’s been a war on the fossil fuel industry since day one. Is this an oversight? And since day one, President Biden has tried to limit fossil fuel supplies and we’re all paying for it. Do you dispute that at least as far as rhetoric, we’ve heard the President say, let’s listen to what he’s saying. ‘I am going to put the fossil fuel business out of business.’ I can show you other quotes that were similar. From a couple of years ago, I can show you, members of Congress, in the Democratic Party berating oil officials for not cutting production to the same extent that it was cut over in Europe.”
Being sure to share a laugh about a problem that is hurting Americans, the coordinator suggests making sure that our investments are done in such a way that we can accelerate the transition to a cleaner world ahead.
Jared Walczak, vice president of state projects at the Tax Foundation, had an entirely different take on gas prices and the tax break, claiming, “Suspending the gas tax is largely a political gimmick. It is trying to patch over a larger problem. Policymakers trying to artificially bring down prices for a couple of months without doing anything about the underlying restrictions on supply are only going to make the problem worse in the long run.”
As stated above, even members of Biden’s own party don’t seem to be embracing his pathetic attempt to “help” Average Americans at the gas pumps. As Red Voice Media previously reported, Biden’s tax holiday would only save people around 18 cents a gallon. As experts have explained, that only amounts to about $10 to $12 of savings a month.
Nancy Pelosi has refused to endorse the move, and, back in 2008, Barack Obama completely obliterated the idea. In the video below, Obama stated, “We’re arguing over a gimmick to save you half a tank of gas over the course of the entire summer so that everyone in Washington can pat themselves on the back and say that they did something. Well, let me tell you something. This isn’t an idea designed to get you through the summer. It’s an idea designed to get them through an election.”

Hochstein an ISRAELE, IS JEW SPLAINING to AMERICANS on how to best undermine and destroy the USA. All those carpetbagging dual citizens from Israel working in our nation’s capital should be deported asap including Bidens entire cabinet.
The Senate engineered a coup to install the Brandon regime. FJB
Not all the Senate. And there were DemocRATs in the House helping out too.
1984 started
Does this guy think Americans are that dumb, I guess yes that’s par for this administration
Why wouldn’t he think that? We put him in office without him even campaigning and not knowing what he was going to do.
The reward, according to your data, for a vehicle getting 20 MPG, is about being able to drive 50 more miles a month. In rural America that could be two trips to the grocery store a month.
The Dems never think things through…..’Put the cart before the horse”, ” Engage mouth before brain”, “Building a bamboo skyscraper”, ” Instructions my ass – I know what I’m doing”!
The very 1st words that came out of Missy Omar’s And Missy Tliab’s Mouth (Who Have Been Anti-Constitutional And Contributors To Their Extremely Radicalized And Blood Thirsty Islamic Muslim Terroristic Brethren, Who Love Shedding The Innocent Blood Of The USA’s Peaceful Israelite Human Beings = Friends And A Person That Is A Legal Citizens Of The USA), after Let’s Go Brandon’s Anti-US Constitutional Communistic Socialistic Progressive Liberal Democratic Donkey Party And Their Illegally Labeled RINO Puppet Comrad’s Illegally CHEATED As The Illegitimate us president, was all about “That Green New Deal”, Which Prompted “Let’s Go Brandon” to ILLEGALLY CANCEL The Keystone XL Pipeline, Which Was After The USA Was FINALLY ENERGY INDEPENDENT! Those Lefties Love Shouting Words That Have Been For A Long Time Are A Bunch Of Big Phat LIES, About “The State Of Israel And The United States Of America”, Where The ONLY Time That Both “The State Of Israel And The USA” Gets Involved In A War, Is After Their Enemies Start Firing Those Missiles Or Shoots And Kills/Wastes/Murders A Person From The State Of Israel And The USA”!!!
Transition to what!? Have they got an alternative, not that I know of. Are they building more wind/solar pharms? Are they increasing geothermal and hydro power production? Have they made a huge breakthrough in fusion power production? Looks like step 1 in their plan is to eliminate fossil fuel use or prevent us from being able to use it rather than anything else, which should really be the last step of the transition🤔
Just for once I wish this kinda trash would step out into the open. I’m sure his life insurance is paid in full.
Yeah, you’ll be laughing out of your a_s after November gets DONE with all of you VERMIN!
WAS HE DOING COKE WITH HUNTER
ON THE WAY TO THE STUDIO ?
HE DOESN’T CARE
I’m sure half of the country knows this is nothing more than a political stunt to buy votes in November. Sadly the dimwit liberals are the half of the country that believes crazy joe is looking out for their best interests, which the other half of the country knows it is nothing more than a political garbage. The clown made no bones about shutting down fossil fuels to promote their false climate agenda. I’m sure the dimwit democrats want us to eat cake much as Marie Antionette did during the French Revolution, and we know how that ended.
Our country has been taken over by a criminal cartel (READ: DNC, RNC/RINOs, Progressives, Leftists, Socialists, AntiFa, BLM, Corporate USA, Globalists, International Bankers, …).
Don’t expect things to get better after the November elections because the Vote Theft Systems that was used in November 2020 is still in place and will be used this November.
The only thing that can save this country is a suitcase nuke going off in the center of DC when all the loons are out dancing in the streets.
