Biden Blows It Again on Useless Middle East Trip – Opinion

Joe Biden visited the Middle East to at most, talk with Saudi Arabia regarding increasing oil production.

Biden went — hat in hand — despite the United States having the capacity to provide for ourselves if he would take his boot off the neck of domestic production. He went, despite having previously declared that he would make Saudi Arabia pariah after the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. He entered despite a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron who said that Saudis had already reached capacity.

Now, according to Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs, their people are saying that Biden will leave without any public announcement about increasing the oil supply.

This being the case, why was this even necessary? Biden was aware that this would be his result. Yet, he threw all of the principles under the bus and continued on.

The solution of course is right here at home — he just doesn’t want to do it — he doesn’t want to make assurances to our energy industry to open things up and let them freely flow because ultimately he wants to wipe them out in his mad dash to phase out fossil fuels to meet his ridiculous green agenda. He doesn’t care who it hurts.

As the Biden Team continued to pursue their insane energy and spending plans, they declared that inflation was temporary.

“We have in recent months seen some inflation, and we — at least on a year-over-year basis — will continue, I believe through the rest of the year, to see higher inflation rates, maybe around 3 percent,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said about in inflation in early June 2021. “But I personally believe that this represents transitory factors.”

Roughly a month later, in July, President Biden suggested there was no reason to worry about inflation and explained that it would be “temporary.”

“We also know that as our economy has come roaring back, we’ve seen some price increases,” Biden said in a July 19th speech last year. “Some folks have raised worries that this could be a sign of persistent inflation. But that is not our view.”

Biden was seen in a horrible word salad from December 2021, praising inflation for its ability to quickly achieve something.

But it’s now gone on for more than 13 months, with gas prices being a big part of the problem. The CPI rose to 9.1% in June and the PPI at 11.3 percent in June. This indicates that inflation is likely to persist.

Yet, what does the Biden team say? Brian Deese (NEC Director) says we must spend more.

How would they respond if they wanted to force us into submission?

There’s something to be said for consistency…though it’d be better if it weren’t consistently bad. https://t.co/bL4Zgqh13M
