GOP attacks on Biden for high gas prices don't add up, expert says



[url]https://news.yahoo.com/gop-attacks-o...161903465.html[/url]


Since President Biden announced on Tuesday that the U.S. would ban imports of Russian oil as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine, several Republican politicians have attempted to blame him for rising gas prices.

On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy delivered a speech in which he asserted that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was not the reason for high gas prices — Biden's energy policies were. To back up his claim, McCarthy asserted that gas prices "started rising the day President Biden took office."

Yahoo News reached out to Christopher Knittel, a professor of applied economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management, to help explain whether the Republican criticisms of Biden hold water.

"The first thing is, that’s factually inaccurate," Knittel said. "Gas prices actually started rising in November of the previous year. That’s just data, so you can graph gas prices and you’ll see them starting to trend up in November of 2020."

Knittel noted that there "is no evidence" Biden's inauguration "broke the trend in gas prices," and pointed back to the early days of the pandemic, when the price of oil dropped precipitously as the world went into lockdown to try to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

“What everybody seems to be forgetting, and it’s shocking that they are, is in April of 2020 the futures price of oil was negative. It had never happened in the history of oil markets. We had a negative price," Knittel said. "People were paying others to take their oil. That is a huge disincentive to drill for more oil. The low prices, generally, that happened during the pandemic and up until the end of 2020 created a huge disincentive to drill oil. Despite that, we’ve seen U.S. production increase over the past year. Why hasn’t it increased more? Because oil companies are leery of drilling for more oil — certainly they were during the pandemic — and that’s a market effect. It has nothing to do with President Biden.”

Anyone that isn't Chico:

How would you describe Kamala Harris' performance as VP?

Just the best answer you have, with no deflections.

Even just a grade A-F works. Curious to know what you all think.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

As with most VP's there is nothing to grade.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

Vice President Harris gets a C. Shes travelled around a bit but hasnt done anything.

Pence gets an A for his post Vice Presidency. He and his wife went to Poland to see the Ukraines fleeing. I dont know how that helps but he was there.

Yes Chico Democrats everywhere are freeing career criminals. It is the deep states mission to let hardened criminals run free and murder and rape people. That is 100% why the crime rate rose. God you take a story and run with it.

Not to leave Trump out of it, remember when he incited an insurrection and planned to overthrow our democracy with a violent, bloody, cop killing mob and he, and 90 percent of them went back home that night and went about their business as if nothing happened?

At this stage in my life I'm pretty pro-anything except the status quo, for instance pro-murder, pro-nuclear war, pro-anarchy, pro-eating the rich, pro-asking Jeff Bezos if he wants to play a game called "saw off my foot to get out of the shackle", and pro-ending the failed human experiment that is our lives. So on that note I say "way to go judge! great job letting a murderer walk free! Keep up the good work!"

So if you finally ever follow up on your murderous bloodlust for the failure that is the liberal party, hit me up Chico.

Saudi Arabia puts 81 to death in its largest mass execution
JON GAMBRELL
Sat, March 12, 2022, 8:31 AM
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia on Saturday executed 81 people convicted of crimes ranging from killings to belonging to militant groups, the largest known mass execution carried out in the kingdom in its modern history.

The number of executed surpassed even the toll of a January 1980 mass execution for the 63 militants convicted of seizing the Grand Mosque in Mecca in 1979, the worst-ever militant attack to target the kingdom and Islam's holiest site.

It wasn't clear why the kingdom choose Saturday for the executions, though they came as much of the world's attention remained focused on Russia's war on Ukraine — and as the U.S. hopes to lower record-high gasoline prices as energy prices spike worldwide. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly plans a trip to Saudi Arabia next week over oil prices as well.

The number of death penalty cases being carried out in Saudi Arabia had dropped during the coronavirus pandemic, though the kingdom continued to behead convicts under King Salman and his assertive son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Just saw this.

I'd grade as a D-, wish Biden would've defined her role more clearly because it seems like their communication hasn't been in-sync. As a VP - your primary job is to be available if something happens to the P, but beyond that Biden should have drawn up a gameplan for the things he expects her to lead on. If not, then you can't really blame her for not doing anything because the last thing she needs to be doing is stepping on Biden's toes.

From where I'm sitting at this point in the game it looks like she was hired not because of her strong list of merits that she brings to the table - she was hired to win the female/minority vote. So great job making history - but I'd rather he hired someone he trusted to handle some responsibility as we all know Biden can't do everything himself.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

I keep hearing about how Biden needs to do more to lower gas prices - to which I agree he absolutely needs to do something before they get even more out-of-hand.

FYI:

If the United States is serious about this, they could come back and help us build Keystone XL," Premier Jason Kenney said at a press conference on Monday. "If President Biden had not vetoed that project, it would be done later this year – 840,000 barrels of democratic energy that could have displaced the 600,000 plus barrels of Russian conflict oil that’s filled with the blood of Ukrainians."

That’s from the Canadians…but the strategy of “playing dumb” now from the idiots above who supported that the move and say dumb shit like that are the direct reason why gas is 4.40 a gallon.

So the 840k barrels that would pipeline from Canada to the gulf coast for export would actually replace all of the oil we import from Russia? Shit if it was that easy Biden should've opened it up yesterday.

I had a 99% confidence level, you would be against this one. I'd be fine just giving away Kinzinger for free. But I assume lots of people on the left are tired of Gabbard too. So seems like an even trade.

I would think we would agree on most things, but it sure doesn't play out here.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

Very tired of Gabbard, have a lot of respect for Kinzinger because at this stage you risk your political career if you're a conservative and you speak up against Trump.

I'm sure there are many that feel the same way as Kinzinger but won't say anything. So yeah, I'd make that trade in a heartbeat. I don't know how anyone can defend Gabbard with a straight face.

Most states were trying out how to figure out how to up their alcohol in take. CO tried to reduce alcohol in take. MI was getting into some pot brownies. CA and NJ were go getters focusing on work. ND was confused by a year and NY was just searching the term quarantine. LA apparently has difficulty bathing and FL wanted to figure out how to sleep at work. Kind of fitting since they are asleep politically.

Actually second lady and first gentleman are things. Its just informal and someone you dont like said it. If it was someone you liked you would get it tattooed on your ass next to where it says,
Airports in the revolutionary war
Nuke hurricanes
Drink bleach
Four seasons landscaping
Michigan man of the year (actually in reality not a thing)
Frederick Douglass getting recognized
Exercise depletes the bodys energy reserves
You need voter ID to buy groceries
Windmills cause cancer
The kidney has a very special place in the heart

I mean i could literally write for days, but I think everyone gets the point about how not remembering a name or saying second lady can never, ever be as fucking stupid as Trump.
Man it just always amazes me how a Trumper can go on record saying Biden is dumb, or misspeaks. It is literally like a nazi calling someone a racist.
