Biden Once Again Cracking Open The SPR

Joe Biden is once again preparing to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an attempt to drive down rising gas prices. This will be a temporary fix at best, but it could make things worse in the long run.

Market Analyst Phil Flynn says, "The thing they have to realize is, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is not like a political slush fund that you can use any time your gas prices go up and your poll numbers go down."

Flynn says that relying on the SPR in order to keep prices down in an election year could result in Americans being left hanging in an actual emergency. He said, "There's a real possibility that global supplies could be disrupted in a major way, and we might need that reserve for real in order to keep our economy running."

Flynn says all of this is symptomatic of Biden's green agenda, which hurts the average American.
