Vice resident Kamala Harris claimed Wednesday that the Biden administration has worked to provide Americans with lower gas and electricity bills despite higher-than-normal energy prices putting a financial crunch on many families.
"For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation," she said during a speech on efforts to lower costs for homebuyers at Bowie State University in Maryland.
In response to Harris' remarks, the Republican National Committee stated that electricity and gas costs are up.
"What is she talking about? Electricity is up 11.9%, fuel oil is up 27.7%, and natural gas is up 26.7% over last year," an RNC tweet read.
In January, President Biden touted a decline in fuel prices after months of record-high prices at the pump. However, he was criticized by Republicans who said families have had to deal with an increase in energy costs since he took office.
"Gas prices are up $1.03 a gallon from when Joe Biden took office. Biden's administration continues to undermine American energy," RNC rapid response director Tommy Pigott tweeted at the time. "Families have lost $2,250 paying higher energy costs since he took office."
In December, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called a special legislative session to tax California’s oil refiners while blaming them for the state's high energy prices.
During her speech, Harris announced the lowering of mortgage insurance payments for all new FHA (Federal Housing Administration) homeowners by nearly 40% beginning March 20.

Horizontal doesn't know. Really.
I’m paying a LOT more for heat now than I was four years ago.
Leftists lie.
Always.
Historically.
Any reduction in costs is no thanks to Plugs’ admin. It’s only due to a “Climate Change”-caused mild winter.
Slmost spit my coffee out just reading the headline.
She might as well say, “The Biden administration’s plan for the stock market has caused it to skyrocket, making average Americans billionaires. Families who were struggling under Trump now have enough money to buy the finest homes, automobiles, and personal jets.” “Even plumbers, electricians, and home care personnel can afford to be driven around in limousines. Even limousine drivers have their own limousine drivers (apprentices), each of whom will soon have their own limousine drivers.”
Harris may live on the same planet as the rest of us but The air in her head sure doesn’t.
Any word from this dolts mouth should be taken as utter BS
Whoever composed the words on the teleprompter may have meant that the Obama / Biden Regime has lowered the overall usage, or the increase in usage, due to the fact that so many people cannot afford to turn on the lights and the heat.
BS lies. In the summer, under BIDEN-HARRIS I was paying 55 cents/therm fixed rate guaranteed for my natural gas. Had to renew it and their new price was 78 cents/therm. The floating rate (which I do not have) is currently over $1/therm
Same here. Just got my bill yesterday. Over $300 for a house that’s not even 1000 square feet.
DUHHH.............
This explains why even the democats don’t like Kamaltoe.
She’s Biden’s insurance policy from getting removed from office. No one wants to see her as president.
The level of gaslighting the demonic Left engages in is epic. The crazy thing is that I’m sure that hardcore leftist filth will continue cheering on the destruction of America, and the West’s, energy independence. A pox on them all.
These people make up this nonsense and their constituents take it as truth. I’ve talked to liberals. Their disconnect positively boggles my mind.
She is talking about in Russia
She lies vertically and horizontally.
