You wouldnt know it from White House press releases, but Americans are paying roughly 45 percent more at the pump now than before President Joe Biden first took office. <\/p>\n
Anyone looking to take a quick weekend getaway or spring break outing in the coming days will pay an average of $3.51 per gallon to gas up their vehicles. Roadtrippers and commuters in states such as California are the hardest hit, paying upwards of $4.93 per gallon. Even notoriously cheap states for gas such as Texas still have Americans shelling out far more than $3 per gallon. <\/p>\n
Gas price inflation is back, CNN, one of the few corporate media publications mentioning the price surge, noted at the beginning of its latest article on fuel. The Daily Mail repeated the same phrase in a recent headline. <\/p>\n
The truth is, gas price inflation never left. Prices at the pump are definitively higher now than they were one year ago. <\/p>\n
One might think that Biden, who is already lagging in presidential polls for the upcoming election, would do everything in his power to fix the problem because his campaign team knows Americans vote with their pocketbooks. Yet the Biden administration has adopted rhetoric about a so-called dip in the cost of unleaded from 2022 records to claim that inflation isnt as bad or as Democrat-inflicted as it is. <\/p>\n
This week, as the cost to fill a car climbs daily, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre went so far as to brag that the actions that [Biden] took led to lowering gas prices. <\/p>\n
On Friday, she attributed the fall in record-high prices to President Joe Bidens unprecedented actions on oil. <\/p>\n
We saw gas prices go down, she repeated. <\/p>\n
The White House, with the help of corporate media, has long touted cooling prices to flood the airwaves with propaganda seeking to obscure the nations dire economic conditions. Yet, as with every other category of inflation, gas costs have never technically stopped climbing since Bidens entrance in 2021. Even when the price of unleaded varied slightly from the record high that plagued Bidens first few presidential years thanks to his unfriendly oil and gas policies, the cost of filling up a car has remained steadily high. <\/p>\n
The White House will do its best to cover up its role in the inflation crisis wreaking havoc on the country, but will stop short of enacting a real solution. The administration wont lift any of its policies exacerbating high gas prices because jarring costs at the pump dont necessary conflict with the administrations goals. <\/p>\n
The Biden administration openly desires to use chronically high gas prices to usher in electric vehicles and weather-dependent energy. <\/p>\n
