Sure Biden is not doing such a good job, what did you expect? If you want to blame him for all our problems now based on everything was wonderful until January 20, 2021, and then things changed overnight, then you suffer from TDS (Trump Delusional Syndrome). If you blame President Biden for most of our problems today based on he was Vice President when President Obama extended the Bush Quantitative Easing scheme, I will agree with you. Or if you want to blame Biden for the mess today based on his first 33 years as a senator he voted for republican Bills starting with President Nixons HMO Act, and then President Reagans Supply Side Economics Tax Bill, I will agree with you. Over the years our Presidents have little to no control over gas prices. Case in point you can not tell us 1 single policy Trump implemented that led us to being energy independent in 2019 and 2020, but 2020 doesn't count because were had a pandemic show up. I know a lot of people believe the oil companies can flip a switch and suddenly oil wells are producing and refineries are refining. It doesn't work that way. The oil companies shut down 6 refineries in 2020, and they are holding off on restarting them. We became oil (neutral) independant in 2019 because President Bush approved the first 4 phases of the Keystone pipeline in 2004, that were opened in 2010 thru 2012, and then in 2015 President Obama removed the 1978 President Carter order that stopped our energy companies from exporting crude oil. Because of that and the Saudis allowing oil prices to get back up to $60 a barrel, the oil companies ramped up production. It took a few years but by 2019 we produced 104% of the oil we need. The irony is 24% of that was exported as crude, so we still had to import 20% to meet our needs. Trump had nothing to do with that. When President Reagan started supply side economics in 1982 the wealthy and corporations got huge generous tax cuts, the middle class did not get any thing until 1985 when the IRS standard deduction was barely raised a few hundred dollars. When President Bush got his tax cuts passed the wealthy and corporation greatly benefited from them, the middle class got a $600 stimulus check that was put on the national debt credit card. When President Trump got his tax cuts passed, the wealthy and corporations got the greatest tax cuts ever, and the middle class finally got the biggest crumbs off the table. If you will go back to 1982 and look at the growth of our national debt, Supply side Economics have never paid for them self, and our debt always jumps up. My point is since President Obama extended QE in 2011 and Trump continued it, our economy has been propped up by excessive federal spending the last 10 years, and the party is almost over. We are about to see inflation on a 1930's level, and both parties are equally responsible. You have 2 choices, 1-keep blaming the other party for all our problems, or 2-start holding your party to the same standards. I think that falls under sh!t in one hand, and wish in the other hand, and see which one fills up first? I could go on, but until middle class people accept the fact both parties need to be voted out, why bother.
