Democrats Refuse New Oil Production Projects — Call for $300 a Month Checks to Help Americans Pay for Record Biden Gas Prices

Gas prices remain at all-time highs under the failed leadership of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.

The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline today is at $4.24 a gallon.

Gas has doubled in price since the 2020 election.
President Trump made America an energy exporter. Joe Biden shut that down on Day 1 by killing the Keystone Pipeline and shutting off millions of acres for gas and oil exploration and development. China, Russia, Venezuela and Iran were very pleased with Joe Biden’s energy plan.

Now Democrats are hoping to buy voters by giving them $300 a month of their own money to pay for their record gas prices. How cynical.

This is how Democrats solve every problem — by bribing you with your own money.

The Daily Mail reported:

With the price of gas rising across the U.S., lawmakers are developing a string of proposals to help motorists – from $400 rebates for all taxpayers in California to imposing windfall taxes on oil companies or a sliding scale of payments that could net families as much as $300 every month.

The average cost of a gallon has raced past $4 a gallon amid domestic inflation and the impact of Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.

This week, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in Los Angeles hit a record $6.011, even as the national average continued to decline slightly from the all-time high earlier this month, according to the AAA Gas Price Index.

An opinion poll published Wednesday found that almost three quarters of voters were in favor of a holiday from federal energy taxes to ease the burden.

And lawmakers across the country are pushing legislation to bring down prices at the pumps.

A new bill proposed by three Democrats – Reps. Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut and Lauren Underwood of Illinois – could be worth $300 each month to some families if the price of a gallon stays above $4.
