Alleged President Joe Biden was never thought to be the brightest light on the thing, but with his obvious dementia, his faulty thinking and memory loss is magnified exponentially.
Democrats are famous for raising gas prices but during our alleged president's short time in the White House, gas prices have climbed faster than a squirrel up a tree being chased by a hound dog. [Yes, I'm trying to sound like Senator John Kennedy.]
The national average for gasoline is around $4.10 a gallon, nearly twice the price when Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election and the economy began to circle the bowl.
Biden is trying to blame the increase on Putin because he can't blame it on Trump, but the rise began a year before Russia invaded Ukraine. Remember, when Biden was campaigning from his Delaware basement he swore to end the use of fossil fuels, (possibly because he personally knew some of the fossils) and this helped drive the prices up in the country after Trump made us energy independent.
The Democrats' slogan seems to be: "If it ain't broke, break it."
Now the Biden administration is pushing to make a "big" announcement designed to lower gas prices, at least before the midterms, after which it's "screw you, America."
It isn't about going forward with more pipelines and fast-tracking drilling permits or opening up leases that make it easier and cheaper to drill. No--the plan is to allow an E15 blend during the coming summer months. E15 uses a 15 percent ethanol blend which is normally banned from June to September.
The E15 is a crappy blend added to gasoline which can harm engines, get lower mileage and will only lower prices a few cents per gallon. Drivers will still get poor gas mileage and will have to fill up more frequently which nullifies any savings and may cause engine problems down the road.
It's like putting a bandaid on a sucking chest wound.

Joe Biden has never come up with an original idea, much less a good one. Whoever is behind this idiocy is only looking to make a show of lowering gas prices for now. It's an impotent idea with little thought behind it, but Biden only cares about immediate gratification, a way to seem to look as if he's doing something so he can mumble about it.
If the Democrats somehow pull off victory in the midterm elections this November, then America will get what we deserve, good and hard.
