In fantasyland Biden is doing a good job.
Well unfortunately I live in California. The people I voted for Biden and Newsome are killing our state. Their policies are killing small business and crime and homeless are completely out of control. The democratic government in California and the USA are failing the people that voted for them. Unfortunately there are people like you that are brainwashed into thinking it is different. Fortunately a lot of my friends and other democrats are seeing this and hopefully there are more smart democrats in the USA than people like you.
I do not know which city you live in but if you are in a democrat run city and you can say there is no inflation and there is no increase in crime then you are not living in USA.

Meanwhile, the internet is loaded with clear and unambiguous explanations from reputable sources citing data and evidence for why gas prices are spiking now, having tiny-to-zero to do with Biden's policies (other than his historic recovery from Trump's Great Repub Recession et al, which is a much better option than continuing to slide downward into the final death of Capitalism at the hands of the Repubs). Here is one from Forbes:
Revisiting The Blame For High Gas Prices
https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier...h=5397f572e31e
Murders DID spike 30% to record highs under Trump and the rate has been declining under Biden. I posted the report of it from the NYT earlier because that was the first entry that came up in a Google Search. But you can read the same report of it from the Wall Street Journal:
Murders Rose Nearly 30% in the U.S. in 2020, FBI Reports
https://www.wsj.com/articles/murders...ts-11632769332
Here is my link citing and quoting verbatim Fox News Channel slamming a Repub Congressman for lying about which party is actually trying to defund the police. The House Republicans are the only ones voting to defund the police. Unanimously:
Republicans are defunding the police: Fox News anchor stumps congressman.
Chris Wallace quizzes Jim Banks of Indiana on Fox News Sunday.
Biden: $350bn in bill opposed by GOP is for law enforcement
https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...sman-jim-banks
Of course, everyone knows Forbes, Rupert Murdoch's WSJ and Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel are truly amazing instruments of the far left created to dupe Dems and "libs". LOL.

In virtually every case it was with zero help from the Repubs who worked very hard to destroy it and, if anything, they provide only obstruction and other methods to drag out the rescue and recovery process, prolong the pain and deepen the damage done to America and Americans by their efforts. Same as today.

Hey, the upside for you is as a Democrat you have probably voted for more Dems and therefore many more U.S. economic recoveries and expansions, including this current historic one (assuming you did vote for Biden) and possibly none of the horrific Repub Crashes and Massive USA Job Losses, than any self-proclaimed Repubs or supposed "conservatives" you know.
That puts you way, WAY ahead of them for doing something positive for America, a distinction worthy of your pride.
And that's the most important thing you've done even if you don't know that's what you did.

Speaking at the Bob Woodruff "Stand Up for Heroes" comedy benefit in New York on Tuesday, Stewart offered an election prediction only he could dream up: that it would end in a tie between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump where O.J. Simpson shows up in a white Ford Bronco with JonBenet Ramsey in tow to cast the deciding vote.
"I'm terrified!"
(uh, no, not by the prospect of Biden winning)

And who is threatening to defund the police, defund the military, defund our border control, defund everything by refusing to raise the debt limit to pay for the Trillion$ Trump and his Repubs flushed down the shitter with less than zero to show for it?
Well, it ain't Biden and the Dems.
Guess who?
And the "great" Keystone XL pipeline championed by Repubs despite the fact that it was never going to make a barrel of oil cheaper for the USA, only more expensive, and it was only going to create a whopping 35 permanent USA jobs?
Dogshit.
Here is a big energy industry and jobs creation WIN for the USA:
U.S. Loosens China Grip on $46 Billion Lithium-Battery Industry
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-loo...183816587.html
(Bloomberg) -- The USA Is narrowing the gap on China's dominance of the $46 billion lithium-ion battery industry thanks to investments from Tesla Inc. and the Biden administration's policy push to drive growth of electric vehicles.

You are one of the Trumpster Republicans that quit posting out of embarrassment two months ago over past posts you made (when they get quoted).
So now you use a new handle foisting a fake personality and background.

From Trump's inaguration, WTI oscillated around $65 or $70 until April 2020, when it plunged to $20/ bbl -- why? Demand cratered because of the pandemic -- remember?. Many producers took wells and equipment off line -- why? Because they couldn't make money at that price. With regards to heavy crude, and particularly tar sand oil, the break even price is estimated to be $80/ bbl. Now that the pandemic is lessening, demand is increasing but production still lags.
Okay, Biden cancelled a key permit for the XL pipeline, but it has been doomed for years because of oil prices and the inability to get private financing. Banks only loaned money to it when the loans were guaranteed by the Alberta government. That pipeline was a stupid idea, and the only thing that sustained it was government money. Capitalism killed it.
