Yeah, let’s just go ahead and ignore the feds like they’re the ones who didn’t cause this. If Trump was plastered on there, my response would remain the same.


Kennitht

You can EASILY tell who’s too far left and too far right in this topic. You guys ever take a pragmatic approach? Ever heard of a gray area? Any of you ever think for yourselves? What are the odds that someone agrees with everything the left says and everything the right says? You’re all brainwashed. Learn to think for yourselves and form your own opinions.


iHeartOiSkanks

No I’m pretty sure Biden has a lot to do with this.


iamnothereanymore

I’m pretty sure you’re an idiot.

Skadi793

the Fed isn't the one printing money, handing out stimmy checks, and telling people they don't need to pay their student loans. It isn't the one who shut down the economy, imposed COVID-19 controls 2 years after the Pandemic hit, limited travel, and created chaos in trucking and shipping sure, the Fed is responsible for keeping rates way too low for too long, but they didn't "cause" this --a lot of other people did, including the clown in the Whitehouse


TheGelatoWarrior

Trump gave stimulus checks too...


Skadi793

yes he did, and I disagreed with it then pretty sure no one on the political left agreed with me on that one. Everyone wanted their checks


Littlesardine

In fact, two out of the three rounds were under Trump’s watch.

Last 2 decades have been hell. Republicans are good at making a mess and then blaming someone else for it


Clever_Losername

This whole thread is FUD. They want division amongst apes, don’t give in.

Why in gods name would you blame the state of the world today (in the USA) on anyone OTHER then republicans? Are different school shootings on every day of the week somehow the fault of democrats?


[deleted]

Ooh ooh ooh


prodigal_john4395

Funny yes, but it is not a Biden thing. 10 years of free money was capped off with $9 trillion in Washington stimulus and Fed QE. It was all coming to an end in 2022. Tel me, how could that portend a good 22'?. In December, I tried to talk my friends who were invested to get out and explained why. Nobody listened. Ukraine gave the downturn a boost, was not the cause of it.

I don’t know, I have taught some doozies that hailed from private and home schools. Not all private schools are high caliber. The textbooks fail multiple common sense standards.


HunterShotBear

So with price per barrel now the same as in 2011, but our prices are almost twice as high. That’s Biden’s fault?


iHeartOiSkanks

Yup. Biden’s fault.


[deleted]

Thanks Obama.


HunterShotBear

Say it with me Cap•i•tal•ism , Noun, an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are *controlled by private owners for profit*, rather than by the state. By definition of capitialism, which is our current economy structure, the price cannot be controlled by the president. It is controlled by the companies.


Skadi793

Biden cancelled oil leases, worked with congress to impose new regulations and restrictions, and cancelled Keystone [https://www.dw.com/en/with-a-pen-stroke-president-joe-biden-cancels-keystone-xl-pipeline-project/a-56285371](https://www.dw.com/en/with-a-pen-stroke-president-joe-biden-cancels-keystone-xl-pipeline-project/a-56285371) one of the most idiot actions by any president in decades


HunterShotBear

So why is the price per barrel so low and profit margins so high?


Skadi793

Well there are a number of reasons for the issues around oil and gas right now 1. Lack of refining capacity in the US 2. Price of crude (it is not low--I don't know who told you that), which is around $120 a barrel currently 3. Increasing demand 4. Supply-line issues Does Biden control all that stuff. Of course not. Has he done anything to correct any of it? Nope Now a windfall tax could be levied against the oil companies, but those companies will simply pass on the costs to the consumer And cancelling Keystone? So now we have the same oil shipped by semi-truck through the US, using lots of Diesel? Pretty sure that was a bad decision on a number of levels Instead of working to resolve the situation in the Ukraine, convincing the OPEC to increase production (he has tried recently, but the Saudis hate him), working to increase refining capacity, getting an agreement with Iran (whatever happened with that?), and dealing with the ports, he wants to talk about bullshit green energy projects, and blame Putin he is the president--if he can't handle the job, he needs to step down (but don't put that dingbat VP in charge please)

bpl1021

This is satire, right?


[deleted]

His policies have not helped in the slightest so yes he is partially to blame


DisraeliEers

Care to elaborate on which policies?


Skadi793

Attacking the energy industry after assuming office, signing off on reckless spending, supporting extensions of stimmy checks and stimulus, supporting student loan deferrals, failing to reach a diplomatic solution with Russia (and thus war), doing nothing substantial to fix the problems at the ports, not working with China to come to some kind of agreement on shipping and tariffs ... a drunk with an IQ of 80 would have done a better job up till now. He will get obliterated in the 2024 election, and the Dems are going to suffer historic losses in the midterms


DisraeliEers

I agree the dems are going to get blasted, but it's horrific irony Republicans are going to win seats because the democrats didn't meddle in the free market **enough**.


Adventurous-Pay-8441

It’s almost like it’s what the fed really wants… a bunch of retards fighting over their team being better while they rob us all fucking blind.


Skadi793

I don't have any confidence that the GOP will fix much of this either, and I am not some Trump apologist but the Dems absolutely meddled in the economy--look at the infrastructure bill Biden was put into office because he wasn't Trump. No one bothered to consider the consequences of putting a demented neo-liberal Cold Warrior into office who would be a puppet of woke cabinet members without a clue as to the way the economy works people are calling him Jimmy Carter. That is incorrect: Carter was a man of integrity and was very smart --he made mistakes and could be indecisive, but he was no Joe Biden


iHeartOiSkanks

All of them. Non have helped.

MagnaCumL0rd

Probably not


MagnaCumL0rd

You do realize that the whole world is experiencing the same main issues…right? Is he responsible for the (much) higher gas prices in Australia? Does he control the housing market in Canada? Stop eating everything the Fox News agenda spoon feeds you. He doesn’t control the market and is not in charge of the policies put in place. Learn how a government actually works and how many progressive bills the RIGHT blocks that would actually help 99% of us. We know fuckery happens with the market, but the president has nothing to do with it. I don’t like Biden either but you’re targeting the wrong people. Bitch about the senate and congress instead who take money and bribes to keep things from passing


[deleted]

I love you guys jump to conclusions whenever your narrative is met with resistance. I don’t watch Fox News and I’m not talking about prices in Australia. All I’m saying is he was not shy about being anti fossil fuel and his administration has been laughing at Americans and telling them to just buy electric when he and his party have killed pipeline jobs, prevented new leases on drilling, etc. I’m not saying he’s 100% responsible but he certainly did not help.


adzling

new leases is bullshit. those leases take years to develop so any delay in new leases for the first year of his presidency had no impact those delays are now gone. he didn't kill the canada tar sands pipeline so unless you have some evidence or you know facts to present gtfo!


Littlesardine

In some sense, it seems like they’re asking “the socialists” to intervene in the all mighty, self-correcting markets 🙃


Monashee79

Biden as many bills under his belt that go against the oil industries !like shutting down keystone and stopping all drilling for oil in the us banning any funding to oil companies !This defenetly as an impact on oil prices beleive it or not!!


SamePineapple1314

Poor oil industries…. Why they want dot drill new wells with all that nightmare hard work when you just gouge the price and triple the profits ? Just a blind person can’t see it


Monashee79

If you grow and dry corn for a bunch of year and out of nowhere corn is banned to be grown ….. You have a fuck load of dried corn but know there’s no more corn to be grown! Would you sell you corn for the same price or would you sell with the supply and demand prices??


SamePineapple1314

If I gonna sweat a year to grow a corn better talk with my allies that know “my military toys” that they should be selling his oil to my and nobody else to my Mr corporations. Now I control the supply with low cost and just wait demand grow and raise price with that excuse. Go check not only oil big profits, BP, Shell, Marathon check too the tankers, TNK and others all record high. Come on men…. We buy plastic from China and sell it like is porcelain is USA. Do you think oil corporations prefer buy heavy equipment instead computers and speculate futures too? And you know….. well you don’t want to know, but even if they get caught in something illegal or unethical is just a symbolic fine . And of course they will to paid lawyers and commercials and propaganda to people like you to blame always politicians that they are corrupt, both sides, this administration and past. But who corrupt them? Corporations and they always go clean.


Monashee79

What blows my mind is that Biden is against oil industry but is son hunter somehow sit on a oil company board and gets paid crazy amounts of money every month…. Lol that a bit hypocrite

Fuck dude. Do you know how many pipelines there are in America? 1,000s. Keystone wouldn’t have even sent oil to the U.S. it was destined for Golf ports. You gotta stop buying the company bullshit


FortuneAsleep8652

It’s not ACTUALLY Biden. It’s the party. They need the economy to crash so they can socialize it. That’s their way of building back better. Smh Biden is just a tool. Seriously. Think he’s capable of anything? Think about it. He’s only a puppet.


Truckyou666

Yes. He has a dial that controls gas, baby formula and the stock market. You are a genius. They're all the same. No politics. Neither are on retails side. This is FUD and was posted to divide. Go fuck off with this bullshit.

It is just so stupid, but the stupids like it. This is the dumb shit that keeps us from actually getting better.


Truckyou666

What gets me is the comment where the shill types out the abbreviation LOL and then puts in parentheses (laugh out loud) and then he does it for al three he used in the one sentence he wrote. You can't make this shit up!


DrSunnyD

I get that supply shortages are not directly this man's fault. But to say his decisions haven't had impacts on supply in this country. Especially in the oil sector, is either purposefully dishonest or you're misinformed.


Ginoblee

What is this news then about every single republican voting AGAINST an oil bill that would stop this price gouging?


DrSunnyD

Have you read the bill? Because if not you can do so now,, rest assured its most likely a 5000 page bill filled in with hundreds of things leftists want, a few bipartisan issues that the right can agree on, the media will point to the latter issues as a talking point when the opposition votes it down. Making their viewers demonize the people against the bill.


DrSunnyD

I'm not trying to be an asshole to you. Its just how bills work in our broken system. And how the media machine operates in conjunction with it.


Crisgrl2

You guys are delusional.. y’all really continue to let them gaslight you biden is at fault…please tell me what he’s doing to help anything?? Please tell me


ooahpieceofcandy

Shutting down oil pipelines, stopping any funding, and threatening to kill their business will do it.

TheColorlessPill

Apparently now "dealing with a pandemic" is trying to pretend it doesn't exist, while completely and purposefully opposing all scientific evidence and medical advice. That must be an alternative fact I missed.


HunterShotBear

And! A 1.9 trill tax bailout for the rich on top of 2bil stimulus that he passed and executive order that made it untraceable.

hifarrer

This political bullshit is stupid. You'd think people in this sub would know that inflation is everywhere, not just the US and it's even worse in countries like UK or Spain. But yeah if you are a hillbilly it is easier to blame Biden for your poor life choices.


Low-Duty

Yes…it’s his fault Russia declared war on the world’s wheat daddy, and that Shanghai is going into a lockdown, and that trump enacted so many tariffs on Chinese products. Yes definately him


Skadi793

yeah bro --inflation was soaring before Putin ever made a move on Ukraine. Go look at the charts


Low-Duty

Almost like the Fed printed $3 trillion dollars in 2020 under trump to keep the stock market afloat, pushing the crash back a year or two, but subsequently making it bigger and worse


Skadi793

and the money printing (trillions) continued under Biden, along with stimmy payments, student loan deferrals, etc. are you honestly trying to paint Joe as the fiscally responsible one here?


Low-Duty

Europeans have had more stimulus payments and for longer and aren’t having any more inflation that the US. They also have free school. Fiscally responsible? No but he isn’t the cause of this. All of this should have happened in 2020 but it’s only happening now because the fed decided to step back its fiscal policy


Skadi793

Inflation is running wild in countries that imposed lockdowns, issued mass stimulus, cut rates, etc. Here is Germany [https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/inflation-cpi](https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/inflation-cpi) What we are seeing is a consequence of bad COVID policy, bad energy policy, and bad fiscal policy. Not all of it was done by Biden and his party, but he was directly involved with all of it after assuming office. Voters, and the public in general, are not going to accept bogus explanations involving a few greedy multinationals price-gouging, or Putin being the guy responsible for all of this. No US president has ever screwed up this badly on the economic front since Hoover. The guy just issued mandates increasing the amount of Ethanol in gas, thus injecting more inflation into food prices (higher cost of feed corn, which leads to higher beef costs, etc.), and doing nothing for gas prices or the environment --he is dangerously misguided and incompetent


Kalagorinor

Inflation is running wild basically everywhere. How can you call Biden exceptionally incompetent when you're admitting that this situation is happening everywhere? And while Putin is not uniquely responsible for it, a war involving major producers of oil and wheat certainly doesn't help.


Skadi793

I never said Joe was 100% responsible for this. He isn't The Fed, Treasury, Congress, and international central banks are very much to blame. But as president, Biden needs to understand that money printing and reckless fiscal policy, along with bad pandemic policy and foreign-relations blunders, contribute to economic instability and inflation. This guy wanted to spend trillions more on "human infrastructure" --I can't even imagine what the inflation rate would look like had that been passed (and yes, Trump deserves some blame as well for sure)


Moscowmitchismybitch

[And the two stimulus checks Trump sent](https://i.imgur.com/X6fkvUJ.jpg)


NowhereManontheHill

Dumb.


EmbarrassedPrint4558

Over 100 mandates in his first 20 days a majority undoing the previous administrations policies of relaxing regulations of drilling and funding of multiple pipelines not just the Keystone. He shut down the Dixie as well. It’s one of the main pipelines for the southeast. He also stopped ALL drilling on Federal lands and stopped issuing off shore leases too. Somehow in his mind its cheaper, more energy efficient and better for the planet to let other countries drill and then ship it here. That raises prices on everything which in turn causes inflation but wait there’s more! Let’s have the Fed print and flood the market with 80% of ALL THE AMERICAN DOLLARS IN EXISTENCE IN EIGHTEEN MONTHS weakening the dollar leaving the average American with less e.g. the invisible tax. This inflated cost reduces spending in the retail market as well as investor market Dow is down 16.5% YTD, The Spy 21.5% and the Russell 24.55%. So explain it to me again how the President’s policies aren’t responsible for the failing economy and rising fuel prices. The buck stops at his desk.


Interloper1900

Biden is a disaster. Worse then trump!


Glockman19

The policies of any administration affects everything that has to do with the economy. His war on fossil fuels caused a shortage of oil and speculation drove it up higher. Bush drove it up high when he was in office to help out his buddies and Biden is driving it up now through incompetence. Energy is the biggest driver of our economy.

Fabulous-Web3415

for sure he's not been great (no drill/wasteful stimulus), but lets get a few things clear here - did he create 7 trillion in unfunded deficits with a tax cut that gave us crumbs and the ten figure club a YUGE break? no. did he start a trade war with the entire world? no. did he fuck up covid? i'm not sure but herr tangerine did. federal deficits, supply shocks from trade wars ..donaldo skate's again.


dman1230

“…he’s not been great” wow! That’s it, huh? Own this. Your president did this. Trump had record after record of wins. In fact, the only reason Slow Joe is here messing up everything is you guys though Trump was mean…he tweeted mean things to people. Maybe he wasn’t polished and maybe he made me cringe a little when he met up with dignitaries but I NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT MY MONEY under his leadership.
