Gov. Gavin Newsom calls for new taxes on greedy oil companies in order to bring down gas prices, or something

If you’ve been keeping score at home, you know the Biden administration and Democrats’ spin when it comes to gas prices.

A gallon of gas was pretty cheap for the most part when Donald Trump was in office. Then Biden took office and started tearing apart America’s energy independence under Trump and gas prices started to rise. Then they kept rising. At that point Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine and suddenly the Biden White House had their “Putin’s price hike” spin. When they needed an extra scapegoat Team Biden went with “Big Oil greed.”

But then several weeks ago the price of a gallon of gas started to drop, and guess what — Biden credited his actions (draining the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve, etc.)

Now that gas is increasing rapidly again, we’re back to “Big Oil greed.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is among Dems blaming greedy oil companies (where was all this greed when Trump was in office?). Newsom’s solution to bringing down gas prices? Raising taxes on oil companies:

Raising taxes on companies will help lower the cost to consumers for their product? Only in Progressive Utopia!

Blaming corporate greed for the negative effects of their own policies is what progressive politicians do best.

Taxing our way to prosperity… what could go wrong?

California leads the nation in high gas prices:

Isn’t it funny how that works?

No he doesn’t, but competence and real-world knowledge have no place in leftist politics.

These Democrats make everything worse and then blame everybody else for the train wreck they created.
