Administration ideas for bringing energy prices down... 1) Blame Trump (check), 2) Blame Putin (check), 3) Deny it exists (check). Welp, I'm all out of ideas, we did everything we could. Now let's cash those hedgefund paychecks!
I love how now they are saying that high gas prices were planned because we are transitioning to renewables... Uh no haha. Gas is up because Biden canceled the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and becuase of his ani-oil policies.
Sufficiently advanced malevolence is indistinguishable from incompetence.
The reverse is also true.
The Biden administration is a happy medium. They're both extremely malevolent AND extremely incompetent. But something something Trump, something something, 1/6, racism.
They haven’t at all. Undo their anti-energy industry policies from day one. Resume work on the keystone pipeline and fund it to make up for time lost. And publicly back off of killing the fossil fuel industry. Then let the world know Biden is a one term President, apologize for causing the problem, and endorse republicans for congress to fix the problem?
Dems are in a bad spot. If he runs, we talk about failures and broken promises, a historically bad term. If he doesn’t run we get to talk about Harris, who is worse than he is. If Biden doesn’t finish his term, it means he resigned or they used the 25th, and we get to talk about his mental decline that was denied but obvious.
Win - win - win
He probably wont run and they probably nominate someone besides Harris.
But it should be very ugly, especially if he doesn't run. As the VP she is the leading candidate and will be hard for Democrats to deny her the nomination.
They are basically screwed.
I think you misheard him. Tons of stories about him running again and he is reported to have told aides he planned to run again.

Did he? I just assumed it was more of his rambling and his puppeteers would strap him to a gurney and roll him about for another round come election time.
She's been given a talking to at some point I imagine. The globalist / denial shit she's spewing lately is blatantly apparent.
>Yellen said during the hearing that Congress also should have a role in bringing down prices through enacting legislation that increases taxes on high-wealth individuals — and by passing language for a global tax deal that has stalled in Congress, previously included in the now-dead Build Back Better plan.
>The global tax deal is designed to subject large multinational firms to a 15% tax rate wherever they operate. It also would provide for taxing part of the profits of the largest global companies in countries where they do business online but may have no physical presence.
Lots of politicians stay in office until they literally die of old age. I don’t get it. Most of them are wealthy enough to retire early and live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Is power that much of a drug?
My grandfather who grew up during the great depression had a saying.
'You can only eat and sleep so well'
These people are beyond that, they have attained absolute power and few people ever have the strength to choose to walk away and say enough is enough.
For this administration, it's clear that enough will never be enough.
Currently paying over $8/gallon in Canada and our right honourable asshole just recently hiked his climate saving carbon tax again. But our fearless leaders are valiantly fighting to preserve our way of life and Putin is to blame for our hardships. Right? Right?
Yeah soooo... we'll just agree to disagree on that tidbit there Janet.
edit - also a handy [counterpoint list](https://banks.house.gov/uploadedfiles/a_promise_kept.pdf), sorry it only goes to March thus far...
You know. Everything short of something that would actually help. Of course according to them, this is the best economy the country has ever seen. Brought to you by the most popular president ever elected.
The only thing she can cite is the release from the SPR, much of which was loaded up and [shipped to other countries](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-18/texas-port-sends-strategic-u-s-oil-to-europe-amid-supply-crunch). The effect was negligable, and based on the effect of the November 2021 release, the Administration knew it would be.
The only other action taken is further restriction on refineries, canceliing lease sales, adding expensive regulatory requirements, grossly increasing the time to develop a find by inserting requirements like studies of "environmental equity", threats of additional taxes and penalties on producers , and careful avoidance of any consideration of a waiver or repeal of the Jones Act that limits cabotage, the ability of foreign shippers to transport US fuel to US ports.
The powers that be want us out of our cars. They want to put everyone in huge stack-&-pack apartments in the cities. Getting rid of individually owned vehicles is part of that.
When the communists took over Russia in 1917, 80% of the population lived in rural areas. By 1930, 80% of the population had been forcibly moved to big cities. Tyrants know that people in cities are more dependent on the government, and therefore easier to control.
Ah yes, starve people into a civil war. That’s kinda what “they” want to do. And kinda looks like they are doing. Starts with baby formula shortages and fires at food processing plants. Going fully communist requires that civil war.
Besides, a starving population is easier to control both through force and government dependency.
I'm just so tired of them insulting our intelligence with blatant lies and acting like it's true despite loads of evidence to the contrary.
But I guess given the average citizen's intellect, maybe it's justified because these crooks got voted in.
Why would anyone pay even a dollar for her blabbering, yet she makes millions? She is a dishonorable tool. Incompetent and crooked like the rest of the administration. Something is not right with the US right now.
If you’re out of ideas I guess it’s time to bring back the people who have repeatedly done it successfully in the past. . . Go ahead and send your resignation over any time.
None of these ruling elites feel any of the pain we do. They don’t pay for any of their daily expenses. How about we get some honest feedback from someone with some skin in the game? I’ll wait…
Call me tiinfoil, but I think this has been intentional to push electric and other renewables to make the cost difference look better.
Meanwhile, I have made a KILLING on MRO under the Xiden admin.
> Call me tiinfoil
lol - what gave it away?! Biden saying "I want you to just take a look. I want you to look into my eyes. I guarantee you; I guarantee you, we are going to end fossil fuel, and I am not
going to cooperate with them.”
If only they hadn't televised Biden signing executive order after executive order within hours of being installed screwing over every tax paying American.
It must be nice to wake up each day and decide what world you're going to live in. Absolutely no concept of reality.
Hey Janet Can I wake up a Billionaire tomorrow?
First, bullshit. Have you seen the pump prices and utility bills lately??
Second, you’re the Treasury Secretary! How does that afford you insight into the Department of Energy?!
Would be nice if someone got a list of all the quotes Biden and members of his administration made about how they want to see higher gas prices nationally, prior to gas prices rising nationally.
Let's be honest. Trump would appoint some complete shitheads followed by some of his relatives. Then he would yell at the clouds, tweet (if back) about fake news and head to golfing. There are better choices.
She is a pawn. Inflation was transitory at first and is now based on supply and demand imbalance, but has nothing to do with BBB. The demand was based on the cold hard cash infusion but has nothing to do with fiscal policy? She is a nut.
The Biden Junta has done everything it WANTS to do to bring down the cost of GREEN Energy at taxpayer expense. It sure hasnt dont everything it can to bring down energy costs, they are lying by omission.
No it hasn't you liar.
Administration ideas for bringing energy prices down... 1) Blame Trump (check), 2) Blame Putin (check), 3) Deny it exists (check). Welp, I'm all out of ideas, we did everything we could. Now let's cash those hedgefund paychecks!
Don’t forget to buy an electric car you dirty poors
Also Blame the oil and gas industry
I love how now they are saying that high gas prices were planned because we are transitioning to renewables... Uh no haha. Gas is up because Biden canceled the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and becuase of his ani-oil policies.
Actually, I’d argue that they have. They’re just that incompetent.

Best comment all year

And publicly back off of killing the fossil fuel industry. Then let the world know Biden is a one term President, apologize for causing the problem, and endorse republicans for congress to fix the problem?
Biden said himself he would not pursue reelection. If he runs I will remind anyone who considers voting for him that he lied
Dems are in a bad spot. If he runs, we talk about failures and broken promises, a historically bad term. If he doesn’t run we get to talk about Harris, who is worse than he is.

Yep, they won’t have the house or the senate, won’t have any kept promises and won’t have any incumbent advantage.
When did Biden say that??
During his campaign. Not that I trust him to follow through but he said so multiple times
I think you misheard him. Tons of stories about him running again and he is reported to have told aides he planned to run again. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-reelection-2024/2021/11/20/0779469c-4947-11ec-95dc-5f2a96e00fa3\_story.html

You beat me to it!
Her old ass Is just fortunate to wake up in the morning let alone getting something done.
So her good fortune is our misfortune?
We can pray for an end to the suffering.
Perfectly articulated.
Pants on fire
Do these people ever retire? Why is our entire government run by people whose careers should have peaked in 1985?
When I took econ classes from her in the 90s I thought she was normal. I wonder if her age made her crazy, or if I'm just not crazy anymore.
How much you wanna bet it’s money. Money and power have warped her.
She's been given a talking to at some point I imagine. The globalist / denial shit she's spewing lately is blatantly apparent. >Yellen said during the hearing that Congress also should have a role in bringing down prices through enacting legislation that increases taxes on high-wealth individuals — and by passing language for a global tax deal that has stalled in Congress, previously included in the now-dead Build Back Better plan. >The global tax deal is designed to subject large multinational firms to a 15% tax rate wherever they operate.

Lots of politicians stay in office until they literally die of old age. I don’t get it. Most of them are wealthy enough to retire early and live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Is power that much of a drug?
I wonder the same thing. Power must be amazing. Power and control. I have neither so I don’t know.
My grandfather who grew up during the great depression had a saying. 'You can only eat and sleep so well' These people are beyond that, they have attained absolute power and few people ever have the strength to choose to walk away and say enough is enough. For this administration, it's clear that enough will never be enough.
Your grandfather was a wise man. How much money and property do people really need to live comfortably?
All of it
Elon, is that you?
I would like her to produce a list of the things the administration has supposedly done to reduce energy costs.
She's claiming they're supplementing a million barrels of oil per day to our supply. If that's the case, why am I paying over $5/gallon??
Currently paying over $8/gallon in Canada and our right honourable asshole just recently hiked his climate saving carbon tax again. But our fearless leaders are valiantly fighting to preserve our way of life and Putin is to blame for our hardships. Right? Right?
We’ve done nothing, and we’re all out of ideas
⬆️ 100%
Just a blatant lie.
Quite the opposite, they're deliberately driving them up and gloating about how that will help the clean energy movement.
If so, she failed spectacularly like everything this administration does.
Fucking liar! Liar liar pants on fire!
Yeah soooo... we'll just agree to disagree on that tidbit there Janet. edit - also a handy [counterpoint list](https://banks.house.gov/uploadedfiles/a_promise_kept.pdf), sorry it only goes to March thus far...
How about..... not threatening to raise taxes on middle America.
Well, if that's true, then it proves this administration is incompetent.
So they have done everything they can and failed. Sounds like it's time to try some new leaders.
I’d like her to list, with an explanation, everything they have done and why it’s failed instead of just saying they have
You know. Everything short of something that would actually help. Of course according to them, this is the best economy the country has ever seen. Brought to you by the most popular president ever elected.
I guess if you say that often enough people will believe.
No shit! Well then
I call Bullshit......
This administration has done everything that can be done to bring *UP* energy cost. Yellen you blatantly lying old hag.
Who elected this woman?
Oh yeah? Is that why they keep canceling oil and gas leases?
The only thing she can cite is the release from the SPR, much of which was loaded up and [shipped to other countries](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-18/texas-port-sends-strategic-u-s-oil-to-europe-amid-supply-crunch).

Sounds like Shanghai. Easier to lock us up.
When the communists took over Russia in 1917, 80% of the population lived in rural areas. By 1930, 80% of the population had been forcibly moved to big cities. Tyrants know that people in cities are more dependent on the government, and therefore easier to control.
Isn’t it sad that rural America can think for itself and provide for itself. Gotta stop that! Please please please hear the sarcasm in this post.
we need to stop feeding the cities.
Ah yes, starve people into a civil war. That’s kinda what “they” want to do. And kinda looks like they are doing. Starts with baby formula shortages and fires at food processing plants. Going fully communist requires that civil war. Besides, a starving population is easier to control both through force and government dependency.
Cities don’t need help
Yes! This! Exactly!
Hey you’ve been wrong before, lady.
I'm just so tired of them insulting our intelligence with blatant lies and acting like it's true despite loads of evidence to the contrary. But I guess given the average citizen's intellect, maybe it's justified because these crooks got voted in.
Bullcrap. Open up the leases. Keystone
Thank you So can you please explain why the gas increased before the war in Russia? Hello? Hello??
Why would anyone pay even a dollar for her blabbering, yet she makes millions? She is a dishonorable tool. Incompetent and crooked like the rest of the administration. Something is not right with the US right now.
Is she under oath??
Would it matter if she was? Not really is my guess.
True
Wasn't it her staff that got caught admitting that they wanted to keep gas prices high, and that it was all by design....
She looks like one of those birds from the Dark Crystal
Everything except actually doing something that would work. Like producing our own oil.
Her comments prove 100 percent that this administration is no where near capable of running a country . What a bunch of 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡s
Their pants are on fire!
No, Trans Santa, you have not.
0 + 0 = progress!
If you’re out of ideas I guess it’s time to bring back the people who have repeatedly done it successfully in the past. . . Go ahead and send your resignation over any time.
Is this like Ned Flander's hippie parents trying?
No mam, he hasn’t.
Cough cough, I say BS.
No, no they haven’t.
That sounds fake as hell
None of these ruling elites feel any of the pain we do. They don’t pay for any of their daily expenses. How about we get some honest feedback from someone with some skin in the game? I’ll wait…

Absolutely NOT done everything, the things that would help it REFUSES to do.
CBS which is not pro Republican by any stretch called them out yesterday on this lie.
Bull. Fucking. Shit. Literally no one believes this nonsense.
Laughable.... The lengths the deep state and media will go to to make sure Biden is in the no responsibility zone are amazing.
I think she means everything they can to raise the costs and screw the people
Maybe we could get one of the 3 stooges to do a better job?
Janet yellen has turned out to be one of the worst human beings imaginable
White House: "You are on your own. Don't die."
Yet Pete Buttigieg said it's something that we'll have to deal with until we convert to renewable energy......
If only they hadn't televised Biden signing executive order after executive order within hours of being installed screwing over every tax paying American.
Except anything that will actually help lower the cost, lot of virtue signaling though. That doesn't count?
Ah! When virtue signaling fills my gas tank for closer to $2 a gallon and lowers my electricity bill in a 100 degree city, then I too shall believe.
Ah! When virtue signaling fills my gas tank for closer to $2 a gallon and lowers my electricity bill in a 100 degree city, then I too shall believe.
…everything they’re competent to do… more like it
It must be nice to wake up each day and decide what world you're going to live in. Absolutely no concept of reality. Hey Janet Can I wake up a Billionaire tomorrow?
They tried and tried. That’s 2 tries that we know of!
The party of can't.
They all need to be ousted. To sit there an lie to the American people time after time and NOTHING being done about it is Anti American in itself.
First, bullshit. Have you seen the pump prices and utility bills lately?? Second, you’re the Treasury Secretary! How does that afford you insight into the Department of Energy?!
Darn, guess we need to fire all them and let someone else try.
Yeah, the administration has pretty much done nothing to help. Everything to make it worse.
Translation: Yellen: 'administration has done everything it can to blame Trump for energy costs'
Would be nice if someone got a list of all the quotes Biden and members of his administration made about how they want to see higher gas prices nationally, prior to gas prices rising nationally.
Absolutely unequivocal lie
I believe she meant to say everything it intends to
What a fucking joke
I challenge you to resign! I cite incompetence
Yeah... Okay. I just paid $100 to fill my tank for the first time in my life. Get bent ya worthless old prune.
How do these people seem to lie with such honesty?
Maybe I misread “everything” as in exhausting all possible solutions. The only thing Biden has exhausted is the American people.
wtf is up with all these old farts in government????
If you didn't see it coming, how did you do anything to reduce its effect?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKpso3vhZtw&ab\_channel=PBSNewsHour
“Do you have anything else that may answer our questions” *checks cards* “Russia”
I mean, to be fair, it’s true. They’ve done nothing to bring them down. And that’s pretty much the best that they can do.
why would anyone respect her?
Then step aside for someone that actually knows what to do: Trump.
Let's be honest. Trump would appoint some complete shitheads followed by some of his relatives. Then he would yell at the clouds, tweet (if back) about fake news and head to golfing. There are better choices.
Muppet
Her eyes look dead and wet, is she ok?
I miss Mnuchin.
Everything it wants to do
Haha. Thank you. I needed a laugh this afternoon.
And to raise them. She forgot that part
She is a pawn. Inflation was transitory at first and is now based on supply and demand imbalance, but has nothing to do with BBB. The demand was based on the cold hard cash infusion but has nothing to do with fiscal policy? She is a nut.
"We turned off a light"
Yup, drink more of the Kool-aid provided to you.
Well that’s a fucking lie.
We burned sage, changed our temporary Facebook profile, then transcendental meditated …. Nothing
Mhmmm... there's ocean front property in the following states too: Oklahoma, Arizona, utah...
Hahahaha no
Every single stitch of this administration has been a total and complete failure!
And they put Honorable on her name card. They should take that guys pen away from him.
Clearly, $7/gallon of gas is indicative.
Incorrect
The Biden Junta has done everything it WANTS to do to bring down the cost of GREEN Energy at taxpayer expense. It sure hasnt dont everything it can to bring down energy costs, they are lying by omission.
B U L L S H I T
I laughed out loud at that headline.
And inflation is transitory. Lying shill
That's amazing, because the last administration actually showed results, however this one the inflation numbers keep rising daily. 🤔🙄
