| Democrat-Led States Have ‘Highest Gas Prices in the Country' |
| 2022-03-08 |
| [Breitbart] Nine out of the top ten states with the most expensive cost of gas per gallon are led by Democrats, according to a report from the Republican Governors Association (RGA). "The new data comes just days after 25 Republican governors called on the White House to reverse energy policies that have kneecapped America’s domestic energy production," according to the organization. "Experts say the rising cost of gas is related to the effect Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has on foreign oil supplies the Biden Administration has come to rely on." The RGA cited data from the American Automobile Association (AAA) on the most expensive average costs of gas per gallon (as of Monday morning): In contrast, nine out of the top ten states that have the lowest average cost of gas per gallon (as of Monday morning) are led by Republicans. "Democrat governors are silent as more than two dozen Republican governors have called on Joe Biden to restore American energy independence and ease the burdens felt by every hard working American family," RGA Communications Director Jesse Hunt said in a statement. "Amid record high inflation, the last thing American families need is even higher costs at the pump due to Democrat incompetence at home and now abroad. Voters are quickly finding out, if they hadn’t already, that life under Democrat control in their states is completely unaffordable." |

| #20 $7/GAL might drive people from Jackass Party to something more sane. |

| #18 As I recall, only a few US refineries can handle the heavy Venezuelan oil. Are they still online? Those were in Houston iirc. |

| #17 Cali plans to prove you can have infinitely high taxes, no infrastructure and the best quality of life on the planet. It will be a grim, ugly failure, but at least they have a plan. It's still quite nice here...if you can afford it. The only way it will ever be affordable for all the people who want to live here is to turn it into a Third World shit hole and Newsom is doing his damndest to do just that. |

| #15 He will not give up his green base even when his approval ranting drops into the teens. He can't. That was the price he paid for Bernie dropping out of the primaries. |

| #14 "Purchasing oil from Venezuela is a State Department op to give aid to Maduro's opponents and overthrow the government so the US can install it puppets!" |

| #11 Look at the bright side: A gallon of bottled water will soon cost less than a gallon of gasoline. Social Justice Grievance Solved! |

| #10 What I love is that the liberals in California didn't seem to realize that Electric vehicles don't buy gas but do use the roads. So tesla's are everywhere, tax revenue dropped, and road repairs lacked funding, and now they are looking into some kind of tax per mile driven without any discussion of removing the gas taxes to balance things. no wonder everyone with any sense is leaving. |

| #9 ^-- I think you mean Sim City but good point. It's almost like it's a law of nature or something. |

| #8 A person I know used to say of playing The Sims: "Crank the taxes and cut the police and watch the spectacle." |

| #7 Highest taxes, highest crime rates, highest poverty rates... Gee, it is almost like the demoncrats only exist to suck the wealth out of an area to enrich themselves. |

| #6 The Saudis won't come to Biden's puppeteers' rescue. Now they are going begging to Iran and Venezuela. At least they will understand each other, in a low-life to low-life way. That 800,000 bpd capacity of the cancelled Keystone 2 pipeline sure would be handy right about now. |

| #5 As I think B has mentioned, Joe Bidet is caught in the monkey trap. He's fiercely grasping the green walnut even though his hand is stuck in the bottle. He will not give up his green base even when his approval ranting drops into the teens. |

| #4 Oil (wti) is almost $125/bar as of now. If the price stays this high, it tanks the economy by late summer. |

| #3 NN2N1 the amount deducted from my Social Security went up more than the amount Social Security did. I am now getting less than before the Social Security increase. |

| #2 Cause they're evil. Drop the state taxes so the poor, who's status they always inject, can afford to work. Buses got to use fuel too. |

| #1 Eastern Middle GA. $3.97 for 87 octanes and we have 2 Massive GA Tank Farms with slide bars all showing FULL. We also have 2 illegally elected (LSD) Senators also. This $3.97 represents a $1.85 (114.59%) increase in price since Biden & the LSD's stole the election and went UBER Environmental Tree Hugger. Note: SSA checks only increased 5.9%. A retired Liberal person would have to be a short a lot of Fries in their Happy Meal to vote for BIDEN again? |
