Plurality Blame Joe Biden for High Gas Prices
2022-03-24
[Breitbart via Cove] A plurality of Americans blame the Biden administration for high gas prices, an Emerson Polling survey released this week found.

Inflation is continuing to hit Americans hard as 83 percent reveal they are experiencing some level of hardship due to increased prices of goods. Of those, 40 percent say they are experiencing "significant" hardship. Given that, it comes as no surprise that the economy is the top issue for respondents.

According to the survey, "When asked about who they blame for an increase in gas prices" specifically, "a plurality (39%) blame the Biden Administration, 21% blame the sanctions on Russia, and 18% blame gas and oil companies."

Biden has long refused to take responsibility for skyrocketing gas prices, blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as gas and oil companies.

"I’m sick of this stuff. ... The American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money," Biden raged this month. "Simply. Not. True."

So, the Blamestorming has rather failed. You can’t really blame any politician for refusing to take any responsibility, but, you can blame them when they do everything possibly to make the situation worse, and then do the wrong things to address the problem to resolve the problem, or, at least reduce the impact.

#4  As long as lottery ticket prices stay stable, I will remain satisfied with the direction of the economy, but I will be watching the price of snack cakes as well. The Dollar Tree is charging me a $1.25 per Twinkie pack. That is a high as I go before I switch to carrots.
