Yep only the president of another country can dictate our gas prices

Also Trump and Republicans, but mostly it's your fault for not getting an electric vehicle.

Exactly. Your own president does set gas prices, but the president of another country on another continent does.

>Place 6000 sanctions on Russia
>Disconnect Russia from global financial SWIFT)
>Ban Russian oil (a major global producer)
WAAAAAAAGH.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

$5.00 in my city.
>THANKS OBAMA!

Can you believe Trump didn't allow that. How dare he

Yeah democrats tried passing price controls but republicans want you paying more because of corporations profits- they are making record profits you know, nothing to do with Biden and environmentalism, they actually want prices to be lower.

If you think you're going to read the answer on Any Forums, you're dumb.
If you think you know the answer you're even dumber.

>yeah
Opinion discarded

Even provided that was the real reason
>it's not
Biden and friends decided the sanctions were a good idea, I'd still be blaming him

in the US an average of over 50% of gas prices are taxes. Government thusly controls at least 50% of gas price.

Same shit, even worse in Europe

Sorry sweatie we can't pass laws that affect the president of foreign countries all willy nilly like

You spelled OBIDEN wrong ftfy

Remember when trump filled your federal oil reserves while you were paid to take crude oil from suppliers?

Democrats fought against America holding oil in the name of minorities and stuff like that

I remember also buying $2.00/gal gas.
it was glorious, and did far more damage to Russia's oil industry than any of the sanctions ever could. Instead Biden has decided to drive the price of gas up, helping the Russian petro-chemical industry.

The President of the United States of America DOES NOT SET THE GAS PRICES.
That is the RUSSIAN President that does that.
Get it through your thick skulls retards

So, what you're saying the answer to a government caused problem is a government supplied price controls? That makes sense, thank you for your insight on the matter.

Joe did that!

>Yep only the president of another country can dictate our gas prices

the market sets the prices, no president does.

>Yeah democrats tried passing price controls but republicans want you paying more because of corporations profits

price controls don't work.

Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud sets the prices, arguably. As he has the capacity to provide an absolute glut of $17/ barrel oil. So if he decides to dump a shitload of oil onto the market, he can run every other oil producer into the ground.

However Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is smart enough to realize that higher gas prices leads to far more profits for his country to modernize, so he will not do so unless it is specifically to target certain countries based on their oil production costs.
We directly saw that with Russia while Trump was President. That is why Trump went with much fanfare to meet him.

You calling biden a liar?

>the market sets the prices
Federal policies set the market.
