These people are so delusional. Its unreal. They are all saying its not Biden's fault. Do you think they would be not blaming Trump if he was still in office. Dopes.

Gas prices were already up by over a dollar per gallon before Russia started massing troops near their border with Ukraine. How do these people explain that?

They say it's due to corporate greed of the oil companies. I guess they just decided to become greedy when Biden in office after doing business for 100 years being ungreedy. These people's brains are literally broken

Blaming Biden for prices in a global market (which oil certainly is) probably is about as valid as blaming Trump for a global pandemic.

The U.S. was energy independent prior to Biden becoming President. That's the main reason why gas was cheap.

Who/What do you think they would blame high gas prices on if Trump was in office. The Russia invasion has only exacerbated a situation that was already set in motion by Biden's green policies.

Well, if everyone always blames the "other side" for everything that goes wrong, we are in fine shape aren't we? :x

But really, you blame the things President Biden has done for the GLOBAL price of crude oil?

Net crude oil imports in this graph. I think that primarily due to fracking, the decrease in net imports began around 2005. The trend continued during the Obama and Trump administrations.

FFS gil, you know that POTUS are always blamed for high gas prices right? Limiting domestic production increase reliance on global markets. Its not even Econ 101, its like Econ 99.

And i'll bet all the shut-downs and stimulus payments the Dems pushed for have nothing to do with the current runaway inflation either.
