We’re Tracking Skyrocketing Gas Prices

Thanks to Joe Biden, gas prices continue to rise, and they have now reached an all-time high here in the state of Texas.

"It's not good" said oil and gas industry expert Phil Flynn, "In Texas you're looking at an average price of over $4.00 a gallon! I never thought we'd see that in Texas, but here it is."

Here it is, thanks primarily to Biden's war on our U.S. energy, which started on the day that he took office. Rather than own up to what they promised, the White House is now trying to blame it on the war on Ukraine, which is a true Russian hoax.

"I know the Biden administration is calling it #PutinPriceHike" Flynn told KTRH, "But the seeds of this price spike were planted much earlier, especially in the beginning of the Biden administration with their anti-fossil fuel policies."

A policy which many believe is by design, to force Americans to stay locked down at home, and by electric cars. Now, according to a recent study, the average American household is going to spend an extra $2,000 dollars on fuel this year.

"That's a huge chunk" Flynn said "And I think you're seeing a lot of American's vacations go up in fumes because the money that they were going to spend on vacation this year is going into the gas tank, so this is a hurt on the poor and the middle class." No doubt, a self-inflicted hurt. So is there any relief in sight?
"I don't see a lot of relief in the short term" Flynn said, "The summer driving season is right around corner, so it's going to get worse before it gets better."

What a difference a year makes.
