bocaBob Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Biden's not solely responsible for the price of fuel in America, he's just not doing ANYTHING to improve the situation except to threaten oil companies who essentially are telling him to pound sand. Now Biden's going to the ME to beg the KSA, whom he referred to as the the pariah state to help. He's lost in this energy conundrum and his admin ain't pulling their weight. They're all lost as well. It's a mess. https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/06/bidens-oil-tantrum/ The big predicament is NOT the oil supply, there is enough, it is the US refining capacity that is the culprit now, thanks to NGD forces. How can anybody at this point in Biden's epic mess of failures be surprised by his slumping polls. https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/21/politics/joe-biden-jimmy-carter-economic-ratings/index.html Edited June 18, 2022 by bocaBob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how have Green policies affected oil production? Oil companies went on a leasing spree under the Trump adminstration which virtually gave away huge amount of land potentially rich in oil and gas. If they didn't drill for it then that maybe was because it didn't make economic sense. They are still holding on to all those leases. And production is now increasing. Of course, if you have a problem with green policies reducing demand, could you explain why you think that's a problem? You think reducing demand for oil and gas is a bad thing? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are these 40% of ordinary voters that support him and his policies after the total disaster he has made of them? What thoughts go though their minds as they answer the question? Idiots, total idiots. I think many people see only A and B. If A is bad then B must be good. The problem with America is that there is only bad and bad. Recently my YouTube feed contains videos from the American right and the American left. They both complain about each other. And often I have to agree with them. I agree with the left that the (radical) right is bad. And I agree with the right that the (radical) left is bad. But in both cases that doesn't mean for me that the others are better.

But as I see it Biden and his ilk do not actively support the far left stuff that people don’t like. Whereas the Republican leadership do support many of the nasty ideas on the right wing side if only due to Trump’s power as a kingmaker. I feel bad for Biden. I think he has bad luck on the economy but he still has to take responsibility. People just seem to like those who exert power and control. Nice guys like Biden and Carter seem to be deemed as weak on the basis of personality alone in my opinion. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted June 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2022 After November's mid-terms Biden will just be a lame duck and the dems will boot him before the 2024 election - God only knows who they will get to replace him, as the vice President has the mental capacity of a poorly educated 3 year old. Best news this week was a latino that just won a seat as a Republican from the sitting Dems. Biden has totally lost his 'fanbase' in a 20 odd % swing ! Far left and greens and the LGBT lot may make up 5% of the population , but the 95% have had enough of the silly of man - unless you're in DC of course where this guy has probably a 101% approval ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the notion that Biden or anyone singlehandedly created the current raft of US and globally interwoven problems is an indication of the unformed, and nihilistic and patent lack of thinking of some posters thats for 'dang sure' (as Yanks say). To attribute the effects (largely unknown and unpredictable) of a global earth shattering pandemic not on a scale so disruptive the the worlds economy and collective psyche since WWIIl ripped the world apart, led closely by the Russians destabilising ⅓ of the worlds grain production, the huge disruption to fuel supplies (none of which was created by Biden - and which any halfwitted dropout knows), the polarisation in US politics (I'm being very restrained in making just that comment) where the notion of co-operation for the good of the country and its People and thereafter the globe has totally left the building. It is as plain as a large proboscis that THE most powerful nation economically and militarily on our fragile planet is in extremely deep, nay, Constitutionally life threatening trouble that much can be said for certain, none of which was created directly and solely by Biden.

Additional causes were covid stimulus going to the rich and companies which didn't need it, supply chain disruptions due to covid and Russia's attack on Ukraine. None of this can be sheeted home to Biden. It's also an economic maxim that changes in the economy lag policy by 18 months. Talking rubbish like Spidey. The inflation of today goes back at least as far as the 2008 GFC, after which the Fed ran successive rounds of insane QE and asset purchases, printing trillions and enabling gross corporate share buybacks but only providing a superficial economic 'recovery' with this insanity. The Covid situation has made things worse at the end of Trump's term and at the start of Biden's. However Biden's reach for a quick green transformation has not helped anyone because the US and the world is not yet ready for it. Now he wants to build back better with trillions more of the magic dollars but begs for oil from the Saudis etc. If you're going to burn oil anyway, why not burn your own? That would bring down inflation and afford more funds for serious R&D for green tech. Bye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
