Commerce Sec admits Biden Admin is out of option to drive down gas prices….

By

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo points to something some KNOW….

As long as Russia and the Ukraine keep at it?

Western energy prices will be sky high….

Now he’s the part that won’t be talked about…

As much as the media reports about the Europeans looking for other sources of oil?

THAT ain’t gonna be….

Some EU countries ARE still getting Russian oil and natural gas….

When the fighting is over?

Russia will STILL be getting paid to deliver oil/gas to Europe…..

Actually ?

It would be in EVERYBODIES best interst if President Biden started to lean on the Ukraine President to find someway to make a cease fire with the Russian’s….

But?

Typical Biden?

He says he won’t do that…..

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo conceded Tuesday that there is not much more the White House can do to tackle record high gas prices for Americans, casting blame on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Unfortunately, that is the brutal reality,” Raimondo said in response to CNN’s Kate Bolduan saying there’s not much action left that President Joe Biden can take.
She continued, “You know, this is, in large part, caused by (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s aggression. You know, since Putin move troops to the border of Ukraine, gas prices have gone up over $1.40 a gallon, and the President is asking for Congress and others for potential ideas. But as you say, the reality is that there isn’t very much more to be done.”….
…
The national average price for regular gasoline jumped another five cents on Tuesday to a fresh record of $4.92 a gallon, according to AAA. That’s up by 30 cents over the past week and 62 cents in the past month.
Raimondo on Tuesday pointed to the possibility of a gas tax holiday, which would require congressional action. And she outlined the record-setting steps Biden has already taken to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which has had a negligible effect on prices.
Prices won’t go down, she said, until the war in Ukraine is over….
Note ….
The Biden admin is talking to countries America has been scolding for internal actions they have made….
Unlkike Republicans?
As soon as someone complains ….
Biden’s people stop talking and they KEEP getting blamed for the high gas prices that hurt consumers and the American and European economies…..
