It still happened on his watch. Even your beloved Trump said "the buck stops with me". So... again... did... you... bitch... about... Bush's... gas... prices... the.. same... way... you... bitch... about... Biden's?I don't recall Bush restricting federal leases or stopping oil pipelines causing gas prices to explode.
under Bush's 8 years in office prices went up and down. Most of the time under Bush the price was very low. Bush did everything to promote oil production, whereas Biden is doing everything to promote solar and wind. Biden hates oil production and it shows in his policy. Because of this I did not blame Bush for the very brief period that gas spiked high.It still happened on his watch. Even your beloved Trump said "the buck stops with me".

You are 100 percent wrong. Gas prices went right up under Bush.under Bush's 8 years in office prices went up and down. Most of the time under Bush the price was very low.

Well I am not 100% wrong in that there is a dip down in the beginning and prices remain low for the first 3 years and then yes they shot up because of the Burning oil fields in Iraq. That was a horrible mess.You are 100 percent wrong. Gas prices went right up under Bush.
I'll use Pennsylvania as an example since I live here. Here is a graph of Pennsylvania gasoline wholesale/resale prices by refiners.
As you can clearly see, they did not go up and down as you claim. Once 9/11 and the Iraq war started, they consistently went up.
Would those oil fields have been burned if we did not go into Iraq because of a false claim by Bush that they possessed weapons of mass destruction?Well I am not 100% wrong in that there is a dip down in the beginning and prices remain low for the first 3 years and then yes they shot up because of the Burning oil fields in Iraq.

The issue is that high prices are due to oil shortage, so a direct price subsidy on the finished price will only cause gasoline shortages because you’re encouraging consumption of a relatively scarce resource.Should congress pass a law subsidizing gas prices until the Ukraine issue calms down?
There’s plenty to cut, just nothing that special interests wouldn’t fight tooth and nail.The federal government is currently increasing deficit spending. What, exactly, should be cut to avoid doing that?
No, because it would end up being a typical Democrat multi-thousand page pile of unrelated Dem wasteful wish list of every socialist dream.Should congress pass a law subsidizing gas prices until the Ukraine issue calms down?
A year ago, a the average price for a gallon of gas was 2.50 a gallon.
