President Joe Biden’s war on domestic energy and his foreign-policy fumbling are getting set to slam everyday Americans yet again with renewed inflation.
In a💫 surprise move, Saudi-led OPEC+ announced Sunday an oil production cut of 1.16 million barrels a day starting in May.
That follows up its 2 million-per-day cut through 2023, agreed🌼 𓆏to in October.
Prices have already spiked 6%, which meaಌns more pain at t𝄹he pump and elsewhere for Americans.
Gas prices will climꦑb, as will energy bills for businesses (like grocery stores and ෴other crucial firms), which will also get passed along to consumers.
Just as inflation had cooled a bit, in other words, Biden’s policy failure🅰s at home and abroad guarantee it will heat up again.
Vowing to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah,” he blew up relations with the Kingdom on his way to the White House, leaving zero leverage over their calls on energy.
Recall Biden’s humiliating trip there last summer, where he begged for a production hike and got nothing but that October cutdown, a clear rebuke.
Meanwhile, our Green New Dealer in Chief from Day One waged a 🌌war on fossil fuels under the guise of a pie-in-the-sky “transition” to green energy.
From the Keystone XL pipeline (which he killed) to his indefinite freeze-out of new energy leases on vast tracts of federal land to his veto threat💟 against the House-passed Lower Energy Costs Act, Biden has been a tooth-and-nail foe of US energy.&♋nbsp;
No matter that it’s abundant and extracted far more cleanly than Saudi (or Venezuelan) oil and gas.&ಌnbsp;
No matter that a r🐬obust US energy sector is great news for the whole country, bringing new, good jobs and lower prices.
And while there may be some bluster over OPEC+ from the White House, there’ll be no broadꦯ-scale domestic policy change to m✤itigate the damage.
After all, it’s the 𒈔little guy getting hurt here to further the dreams ofꩲ green fanatics.
And for the elite-drivꦐen modern Democr🌟atic Party, the little guy just doesn’t count.
