Biden threatens oil companies with 'emergency powers' if they don't boost supply amid inflation spike


Biden says oil companies are earning 'historically high' profits

President Biden may resort to using emergency powers if American oil companies don't increase output at their refineries, the president told oil CEOs in a series of letters Wednesday.

Biden's statement blames oil companies for running "historically high profit margins" even as Americans experience surging gas prices. Biden has recently faced criticism for a lack of executive action aimed at curbing inflation.

"There is no question that Vladimir Putin is principally responsible for the intense financial pain the American people and their families are bearing," Biden wrote. "But amid a war that has raised gasoline prices more than $1.70 per gallon, historically high refinery profit margins are worsening that pain."

Umm... Price at the pump was about $2.25 when Biden took office. $2.25 + $1.70 (if we trust that number) = $3.95. No mention of the other $1.05+ rise anywhere? Who is at fault for that?

First Biden screws over the oil companies, then he threatens them if they don't help him out.
This latest threat is just another of Biden's attempts to put the oil business out of business.

I am no fan of oil barons and oil companies. but the lies and damned lies by Biden are exasperating.

Mr. Biden You -----YOU created this mess.
Oil prices and inflation are 100% your fault and we all know it.

At least ol' Jimmah won't go down as the worst US President in history anymore.
Obama took Jimmah's place, IMO...

But these 2 STILL don't rank up there with Buchanan, Taylor, Pierce, Wilson, and a few others...

Hopefully two more years with him completely neutered by a Repub majority in both houses. Not that I'm a Repub fan by any stretch, but at least they should be able to shut down the Vegetable in Chief's worst ideas.
And replace them with even worse ideas.
