[QUOTE=GDreams;2672884]Trump wasn't the greatest job creator ever. Jobs growth under Trump was less than Obama. In fact everything Trump achieved was less than Obama.[/QUOTE]Biden still 2 million jobs behind Trump even with all the democrat states returning to work.
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2672652]"Once again, President Biden and his Minister of Propaganda, Jen Psaki, are misleading the American people. This time about oil production.
Mr. Biden and Ms. Psaki both say it is Putin who is most responsible for the rise in gas prices. The pair also put forth that the Biden administration is harvesting more oil than the Trump crew.
The sleight of hand is a comparison between the first year of both administrations. That doesn't matter because Trump grew oil production while Biden is shrinking it.
Here are the facts. When Donald Trump left office, the average price for a gallon of gas was around $2.50. After 13 months of Biden, the price had risen more than a dollar. And that was well before Putin's Ukraine invasion.
Under Trump in 2020, the US produced 18.4 million barrels of oil a day. During Biden's first year, the number was down to 16.6. That's about 2 million barrels a day less under Biden. Close to 800 million fewer barrels a year."
And what these morons failed to understand is that oil & petro-chemicals are used throughout the entire industrial / agricultural economy, therefore when the government reduces the production of oil and thus raises the price of oil, you get inflation and believe me we have inflation. And this double digit inflation is going to be very hard to control without causing a recession. The only piece of good news is that Biden and his wokes are washed up. A massive tsunami is heading their way in November and the Dems know it. Biden: the 3rd worst President in US history.[/QUOTE]You are right but wait for fake news links from these racist socialists to try to dispute it. Today White House talked about possibly increasing domestic oil production to get back to 2020 levels but they have no plan and probably just talk. Biden still blaming Putin for high oil prices and inflation but Obama spokesman blamed Biden saying inflation and gas prices were out of control well before the invasion. At least Biden stopped blaming Trump for something.
[QUOTE=Canada;2672852]You were right when you said that Putin wouldn't have attacked Ukraine if Trump was president. You were right again when you said Putin was scared of Trump. And you were right the third time when you said Biden was there to help Putin achieve his goals. We understand totally. Congratulations.[/QUOTE]I was indeed right when I said Trump was the only potus of the most recent 4 who was so helpful and in partnership with Putin's goals of destroying democracy wherever he finds it, wiping out millions of American jobs and crashing the USA economy that he did not need to muss himself and destroy Russia's economy by invading other countries to do it.
You were wrong in your mischaracterization and misquote of what I accurately pointed out.
[QUOTE=Canada;2672914]Biden still 2 million jobs behind Trump even with all the democrat states returning to work.[/QUOTE]Trump left office millions of jobs down from what he inherited from Obama.
Sorry. They don't hand out the trophies and Super Bowl rings at the end of the first quarter.
[QUOTE=GDreams;2672880]Congratulations Biden on a job well done! Your inspired move of sanctioning Russian oil why telling the market you will release oil from stockpiles until alternative supplies are sourced calmed the market and caused an immediate easing of prices.[/QUOTE]Let's go Brandon. You gave Putin over a billion dollars to invade Ukraine before republicans and democrats forced you to put sanctions on Russia oil. Now after Republicans and democrats have been forcing you to start releasing oil from stockpiles you are trying to take credit for it. Doesn't work that way. You opposed these two for weeks and now you want credit for it? Only an idiot would give you credit for your incompetence.

[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2672866]But we assumed that was Joe Biden 2008 for you?[/QUOTE]I assumed that too.
The wingers will never appreciate it.
Nothing would give them more pleasure than to see inflation drop back to 0% or into deflation as the direct result of another Great Repub Crash and Massive Jobs Destruction at the hands of typically disastrous Trump / Repub economic decisions and stewardship.
And, not coincidentally, it would be precisely the same level of pleasure Putin would get out of it.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2672846]You and every other winger on this board seems to have forgotten one thing. COVID.
So, here's a little information that I'll try to keep simple for the simple-minded. According to the macrotrends, the US produced 13,100 BPD in March 2020. Do you or any winger have any idea whatsoever about what happened in March, 2020? I realize you don't but COVID started to hit the US hard. In August of 2020, US oil production was down to 9,700 BPD. Do you have any idea why? Any idea at all? COVID. Was Donnie responsible for this drop? According to your "logic", he was responsible. Now, anybody in their right mind knew that the Orange Fruitcake wasn't responsible for the drop in production. Anybody except you wingers.
Do you have a clue about [B]why[/B] oil production dropped? Because fewer people were driving. Fewer people were using oil. That's why oil production dropped and that's why the price of oil was down to about $80 per barrel.
What happened starting in the February / March 2021 timeframe? Vaccines became available. As more people got vaccinated (well, to be fair, not too many tRUMPers did) and more restrictions were lifted, guess what? More people started using more oil? And what happened?.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2672735]Here are some facts re: oil prices: [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/republicans-wrongly-blame-biden-rising-124650456.html[/URL].
Canada, CaliGuy, Elvis and the rest of the supporters of the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy will say "fake news".[/QUOTE]Those are not facts. World capacity in Q4 2019 is higher than current demand. Oil production could have been ramped up, but it was not because Biden pissed off not just American producers but other countries as well.
Obviously, PVM, you are too stupid to see that Biden gave the domestic energy companies the middle finger. I thought you libtards were sensitive to the feelings of others. Well, shit for brains, when you say climate change to oil companies, they take that as your wanting to put them out of business.
And it is not just American oil companies but foreign countries. The OPEC countries with the most surplus capacity have told Biden multiple times to go fuck himself. Things are so bad that Biden is having to go after cash strapped countries like Venezuela and Iran and trying to coax them into producing more.
You Dems have been pushing your stupid climate change agenda for decades and now it has come back and bit you in the ass. Maybe you can take solace that you are "saving the planet" while your getting your asses handed to you in the elections.
As long as some 18% of Americans elect and are represented by almost 50% of Congress, their Repub Party must be as much of an enemy of democracy as is Putin, Kim and Xi.
All of those dictators know it. That's why they enlist Repubs and only Repubs to partner up with and help them to weaken NATO, the Western Alliances and democracy wherever they find it.
Lazy vocational golfer Donald J. Trump simply decided he would be the first potus to target American democracy for total destruction along with its economy and, therefore, Putin had no reason in the world to distract him from that mission with a Russian economy destroying war in Ukraine.
[QUOTE=Jay0940;2672832]I saw that article. A typical NYTimes Republican piece of garbage. Since Democratic senators represent over 41,000,000 more constituents than Republican senators, how can an "even" division of House seats be fair. It's obvious that Republican seats have been increased through gerrymandering, cracking, and other tactics to dilute other voters. The article points at Democratic gerrymanders in 2020 but fails to mention the extreme gerrymandering (and systematic targeting to dilute voters of color as noted by the 4th Citcuit) engaged in by Republicans in 2010. Because. As Republicans have shown. The best way to win an election is to set the rules up in such a one-sided fashion that the opponent can't win.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Canada;2672914]Biden still 2 million jobs behind Trump even with all the democrat states returning to work.[/QUOTE]Oh dear. Once again Canada is confused. He can't understand the difference between jobs growth and the number of people employed. So during Trump approx 5 mil people were employed in his first 3 years then he lost 20 mil. Biden has gained 18 mil in 2 years.
Well done Biden, you are indeed a job making machine.
[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2672864]I can speak for California where the democrats not only defunded police but they stopped prosecuting criminals. Stopped cash bail. Murders and attempted murders are up 38% in San Diego County and we are doing better than most counties. Democrats did the same in Washington and Oregon. Why do the socialists lie about this all the time?[/QUOTE]I live in Chicago, you should see the the crime here.
We have a black lesbian as mayor and a black female as prosecutor that was funded by none other than G Soros.
Its total pandemonium.

Sen. Bill Cassidy on Wednesday unveiled an energy policy proposal he equated to the Trump administration's "Operation Warp Speed" vaccine development program to address soaring energy prices.
The Louisiana Republican's proposal included streamlining the permitting process for energy development at agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, similar to the regulatory streamlining put in place to rapidly develop the COVID-19 vaccine over 2020.
It would also incorporate a streamlined process for advanced nuclear permits and finalize a 5-year plan for future oil and natural gas development.
Cassidy also proposed to eliminate regulatory barriers for technology that reduces emissions and create a strict timeline for feedback and approval of permits and handling of complaints.
Responding to the fact that less than 10 percent of USA Oil drilling is on federal lands, Cassidy replied saying "energy is very susceptible to margins. So a little bit of extra margin drives down cost pretty quickly, and a little bit of a short margin."
"So when they say 'oh, it's just a little bit on federal lands,' that's the margin that makes the difference," he added, referring to the Biden administration.
There it is the big plan from Republicans. There are 9000 permits issued but not drilled, so if we streamline the process to increase the number of permits then suddenly oil companies will start drilling?
That's it! That's the best they can come up with. They are so busy criticizing because they have zero plans themselves. Then again what would you expect from Louisiana.
