>I voted Democrat because the price of gas is too h-
>>545921915Democrats got in and the oil companies started shaking in their boots and finally brought their prices down.
>>545921989Also the markets are pretty sure the Dems are going to put their foot down iran so progress is possible. Might be a bit early to celebrate since Trumps got 2 months tho.Still I imagine to a majority of the population this is immediate vindication.
>>545921915>over 3 dollarsthat's still to high
>>545921915imagine being that retarded.imagine destroying your country because muh gas prices.imagine being poor.
>>545922295Imagine destroying your political party to start a war no one wanted for a country everyone basically hates now
>>545922295Politics don’t fix countries, they just ruin them until the real fix needs to be implemented, violence.
>>545921915The Russian tankers arrived in port just a week too late
>>545922370imagine voting for this because>muh gas prices.imagine not wanting that war but willingly pushing to fund another jew in europoor.kek retards.
>>545922606Maybe now the GOP will remember to not run on a promise of no new wars and then start a new war
>>545921915Wow. Democrats winning is already having an impact.
>>545921915honestly the gas wasn’t a dealbreaker. I voted for total migger death as my top issue.
>>545922757Don't worry, blue team will make people angry enough to vote for red team again next time, and then red team will make people angry enough to vote blue team after that, then blue team will make people angry enough to vote red team, and then...
>>545921915It's not enough.We need pro-active consumer side demand destruction. This means not only a return of the federal EV rebate, but making it even bigger.We also need something stronger than CAFE standards, which the automakers exploited the well-meaning loophole left by the Nixon administration. We need to introduce tonnage taxes to discourage people who aren't using their truck for active work from purchasing them.We also need to forcibly compel automakers to produce hypermiler passenger vehicles and if they won't do it, the government needs to purchase idle factories and do it themselves.A credible high-speed rail network and an expansion of the already existing rail system.We need to take serious steps to actively prevent these conditions from 1) emerging again and 2) affecting us to the degree they do when they do occur.
>>545923335noooooo long term strategic planning is le socialism!!!!
>>545923335How are you going to pay for that while also getting all the other shit the street shitters want and allowing endless immigration?High speed rail and EV cars won't fix shit. all that will do is drive up prices lmao
>>545922240This. Gas sholud be under 2 bucks a gallon. This bullshit of 'raise it into the sky so when we bring it back down a *bit* it will look like a great thing and they will STILL be paying 3xs more than when we started' needs to die.
>>545924006I don’t see how gas would go back down that far. Inflation is hellacious
>>545923764>How are you going to pay for thatThe same way the federal government pays for anything else: by crediting a bank account.Long term it reduces input demand, so it is deflationary over the long haul. It is a given it will have an initial inflationary effect on prices in the related material industries and labor, pools, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing.The oil companies and oil's role in our economy has become a problem. It was supposed to not be a problem anymore when fracking came on line. That was supposed to eliminate this problem. But it is clear it didn't. Maybe the blame for that should be be put on the privatized nature of the oil industry and the global export market. Fair enough.But it's just easier to plan and regulate around the oil companies than to wage some huge battle for nationalization.
>>545922093>>545921915This. The expectation is this will change the strategy on Iran and get the strait open.
>>545922509That was diesel and was nowhere enough to make a difference. There is actually a diesel shortage in the US of around 20%.
>>545922295republicans got what they deserve
>>545922606>imagine not wanting that warif you're not a kike slave, it's easy to imagine
>>545923764>How are you going to pay for thatstop giving money to israel
>>545924450We did.
>>545924195The strait is already open.
>>545924069Trump got it under 2 in his 1st term
>>545924450btw 4 billlion dollars is 0.05% of our federal budget lol
>>545921915So it worked
