Your loyalty to Harris has obstructed your ability to comprehend. 

 

If you know, why don't you just tell me? Because you don't know, you're just regurgitating a leftist talking point. 

 

Now call me stupid because you are not able to support your claim, then run away and claim victory.

It's only "...crystal clear trump is unfit to represent the Office of the President of the USA..." to Harris supporters, or about half the country. The "educated" rich half of course. 

 

Last election seven million more votes than trump rec'd were of the opinion trump was / is  unfit to represent the Office of the President of the USA.

The law will boost the after-tax incomes of households in the top 1 percent by 2.9 percent in 2025, roughly three times the 0.9 percent gain for households in the bottom 60 percent

It will be a while before those government parcels produce oil. In the meantime lots of people have had to eat their own words.Like those who proclaimed that oil and gas production would fall under Biden. How's that prediction working out?

Are you against boosting the after-tax incomes of households in the US? 

 

Is that why you support Biden/Harris raising taxes on the middle class?

Yes, clearly the Biden administration cares nothing about climate change. Clearly their promise to cut fossil fuel production was a lie.

It did fall, and so did investment in the industry. That all changed quick-time in 2022 with the invasion of Ukraine and then with high inflation.

Just like now, pump the reserves dry and close that border until after the election. 

 

I think an argument can be made that the financial windfall Russia enjoyed with the policy shift in the US went a long way to encourage the Ukraine invasion. 

 

Iran and Hamas as well.

Looks like you agree with me for a change. Thanks.

 

Of course, Biden also managed to sell nearly half of the total US SPR from 2022 to 2023.

So, as you perfectly know, they did not fall in 2021, as they already did in 2020. Thanks for confirming it. 😀

So you believe that Biden was President in 2020?

As for the strategic petroleum reserve, what's your point? If anything it argues against it since it would have been released in addition to oil produced in that year.

Do you have a reliable source showing that Biden was responsible for he increase of prices on the global oil market, or are you just making up stuff again?

You claimed that oil production fell under Biden. Actually, it was slightly higher in 2021 than in 2020. And it went up from there.

Actually, it was slightly lower in 2021 than in 2020. I've already said that changed in 2022,

Got any evidence from a credible source to back that up? According to Statista, oil production in the USA in 2020 was 713.3 metric tons in 2020 and 715.9 in 2021.

What is it you are asking for, an opinion piece in the MSM that blames Biden? Sorry, no can do, but I bet you can find plenty blaming Trump. 

 

Canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, shutdown sales and leasing on federal land, implemented a historic royalty rate increase, and countless new regulations. Did he not say he wanted to significantly reduce production? Was he lying?
