Joe Biden’s attack on the fossil fuel industry, starting the day he took offices, has gutted plans for drilling, pipelines, exploration and more.
The result was predictable: Fuel prices have soared to as high as $6 a gallon in some cities.
Biden, meanwhile, has blamed Vladimir Putin and MAGA Republicans both for the price surge, even while oddly claiming that he had brought prices down.
In fact, when Biden was elected the price was about $2.12 a gallon, and since then the prices have hovered near $4 a gallon most of the time.
So just is Biden’s response now? To nominate for a key economic leadership post a man who has a history of complaining that gasoline prices are too low.
The Washington Free Beacon said that Biden has nominated Jared Bernstein to run the Council of Economic Advisers.
“High gas prices have been a nightmare for President Joe Biden. But they are a dream come true for a progressive economist whom the president tapped for a top White House post,” the report explained.
Bernstein, in fact, lamented in 2015 that gas prices were “too damn low.”

That was when gasoline was $2.09 a gallon, and he claimed that had “scary” consequences for the environment because it didn’t deter consumers from buying fuel at those costs.
He admitted at the time that low prices helped working families, but he said the nation should boost its gas tax despite the injury it would cause.
Bernstein’s leadership nomination comes at a time when only 36% of Americans give Biden a positive rating on his economic work.
“A major contributor is a dramatic increase in the price of gas,” the report said.
If he’s approved by the Senate, he would direct a panel advising Biden on “economic policies that advance the interests of the American people.”
He’s already on the panel, but would be given the role of directing its work.
He’s already been “credited” with the White House messaging that inflation, which under Biden’s leadership surged as high as 9.1%, was “transitory,” a prediction which has failed to come true yet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids’ days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they’re not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today’s “public” (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America’s children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child’s transgender “transition.” In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to “catastrophic climate change.” Another lie. But it’s all classic Marxism/communism, with even the “3 R’s” – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with “woke,” “1984”-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today’s U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America’s public school system.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
