Reuters ^ | November 14, 2021

President Joe Biden's administration should tap into emergency petroleum reserves to lower rising gasoline prices as Americans go into the holiday season, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday.

"We're here today because we need immediate relief at the gas pump and the place to look is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve," Schumer, a Democrat, said at a news conference in New York.

Schumer knows that New York/Northeast will get hardest with high gas prices so this is his “fix” to get Biden through the winter.

That is not the solution. We are sitting on an ocean of oil and only one reason it is not being pumped.

If he had just left what President Trump had done alone, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

We have pipelines that we can open. Why deplete our reserves?

Unless they are looking to really screw us down the road when the reserves are gone, the pipelines are not running, and OPEC is holding us hostage to oil.

Same standard issue Demcorat PR stunt. They tried this repeatedly under Clinton. It does nothing but give their drones in the Lying Media something to propagandize about.

They are all mentally deficient or outright commies on the left. America was finally a self-sufficient energy nation under Pres. Trump. Biteme's handlers had him shut all that down. The same with the illegal immigration issue that was under control.

New slogans for the socialist/commies:
America is Not Fair
America Owes
All America to All

I cannot believe the idiocy of theses dems. Or perhaps they are very cunning and their sole goal is to eff the deplorables.
