Raising the price of gasoline is part of Democrats’ plan to make driving unaffordable for most Americans, Breitbart News columnist Charles Hurt said Monday .
“They make no secret about the fact that they … want gas at six dollars a gallon,” Hurt remarked. “They want it at eight dollars a gallon. This is not a secret to them. Their intent is to raise the price of gas so that it is so expensive that nobody can drive anywhere. … They want gas to be at $20 a gallon. They want it to be like Europe because they want no one to be able to afford to drive anywhere. That’s their goal.”
Breitbart News reported:
The early Biden era inflation is weighing particularly on the bottom end of the income scale. Gasoline prices, for example, rose 8.8 percent in March. The lower third of household incomes spend more on transportation than the upper two thirds, according to long-running data from Pew Charitable Trusts. In 2019, transportation costs—of which the price of gasoline is a major component—accounted for 17 percent of all household expenditures, according to Statista, the second biggest category after housing.
According to the latest data from U.S. Energy Information Association, national gas prices currently average $2.85 per gallon, up 99 cents from one year ago, an increase of 34.7 percent.

Think of all the large truck/SUV sales over the past 4 years as oil plummeted. In a couple of years the used car markets will be flush as people downsize to afford to drive.
Duh. Anyone paying attention knows this. That excludes Biden voters.
Ride the bus, live in the city center as decreed. 😒🐂💩
Higher gas prices = higher food prices.
Can’t be a Democrat voter without suffering Cranial-anal-transpositional syndrome
Many will unexpectedly burst into flames in the middle of the night.
Sounds like a Dateline program
Have been saying this all along, but it’s not just higher gas prices. It’s the enforcement of electric cars and solar energy .
Electric engines will never compete with diesel. That is a fact. But it doesn’t bother the left.
All electric engines will deter travel and food production. Ever seen an electric harvester???
Do you know why the eastern corridor Amtrak switches from an electric engine to a diesel? Because you have to have diesel to handle the mountains when pulling weight if you want to do it economically.
So yes. They want to curtail our ease of travel big time.
A small, rich ruling elite among the masses of peasants. That’s the socialist dream, therefore the Democrats’.
Republicans are the ones pushing for higher fuel taxes. And they’re right to do so.
I always wonder where these people think the electricity comes from to power electric cars? Electricity trees? It’s from fossil fuel, but they don’t get that.
Cars or dumbass democrats..?
just like draconian gun laws and hunting laws and restrictions and regulations make being able to hunt impossible for many.....
They want us Patriots DEAD. That is the real goal.
Agreed
Higher gas prices = higher food prices = higher cost of living = higher wage demands = higher unemployment = higher welfare rolls = higher taxes .....
Rinse, lather, repeat................
