Thanks, Obama!

You people will really say anything. Pennsylvania’s current gas tax was passed in 2013, by a Republican legislature, and signed into law by a Republican Governor.

Wolf is actually proposing that we find a way to repeal it: https://www.wgal.com/article/gov-tom...s-tax/35824718

But don’t let that stop you from conservative shit-posting.

Correct.....sort of....passed in 2013, but the majority of increases came in wolf's first term and he supported the tax...
Maybe el mo can go on some other threads and support the liberal left policies biden has done and show us why he thinks they are just what this country needs....

But, to circle back, the reason gasoline prices are going up is not because of the senile bastard. It's because:

1. OPEC are assholes
2. remember seeing gas prices at or below $1 in the spring of 2020? They couldn't give gasoline away because....nobody was driving. There was so much excess that they had nowhere to store it, so they cut back on refining oil to gasoline. Now that we are starting to drive more, there's less supply, hence the price is going up.
3. to a lesser degree, the freezing of Texas last month where they couldn't refine oil to gasoline.


none of this is the basement bastards fault, it's simply supply and demand.

Yes, a lot of it is Senile Biden's fault. He started a war on oil the moment he was in office. Stopping the Keystone pipeline by Executive Order. Attacking fracking and stopping all new oil and gas leases on federal land and water areas. He sent a signal to the markets because he is an inept fool. So naturally OPEC will take advantage if his foolish behavior.

Explain to me why gas prices in 2018 and 2019 before the Pandemic were at about the same price and even higher than they are now under Trump. No president can control the price of oil. Prices are driven by supply and demand that is why oil is higher in the summer. When fracking started to boom OPEC cut production to keep oil prices up. Now that fracking is cut why down OPEC will most likely increase production. OPEC ideally would like oil to be about $80 a barrel.

There are many factors contributing to the price of gas at the pump at any one time. President Houseplant killing the XL Pipeline the second he sat down in the Oval Office is only one factor. I don't suppose the cold snap in Texas helped, either...

1. If you think Wolf is going to cut the Pa gas tax, you really are taking the bait. He knows that will never pass then he will have something to blame on Republicans. Old trick for liberal media to promote.

2. If he able to push through doing away with the gas tax which tax is he going to increase to cover for the loss, the teachers union agreeing having their pay and benefits cut.

Remember what all the Pa government was going to do with the tax money from the Marcellus Shale for infrastructure. Oh, they will tell you they didn't have to raise your taxes.

Hilarious, who believes Wolf is being honest about cutting the gas tax. Like I said its a ploy to propose this knowing it will never pass so he can blame republicans.

Same with the Federal $15.00 minimum wage. The liberals passed everything else they wanted without a republican vote. They could also do the same with the minimum wage. The liberals are bringing in the illegals to keep wages down and votes, simple as that.

Republicans were desperate to buy votes, and since the tax was really to fund public sector union pensions, they backed it no problem. Sure, they hard to scream and rattle it up for the Republicans out there that still think they are in a party of less government and spending, but that was planned to pass.

its amazing how libs are crazed to twist the truth or rationalize some twisted facts to justify what they want to be while the real truth is staring them in the face

like an administration that is gung ho about all this green crap and doomsday scenarios and the gospel of eliminating fossil fuels doesnt affect oil companies and the price of gas .

also an administration that loves spending tax payer dollars and taxing everything in our lives wont affect not only gas prices but inflation and the economy and interest rates and much more

thats why all they talk about is social and inequity issues all fear and smear for the greater good ya know. thats so you wont look at their fiscal policies and what its really gonna cost you .

i got one answer to high taxes and gas prices , killing the greatest economy in our history , stop being energy independent , and its called the new KOVID

KEEP ON VOTING IDIOT DEMOCRAT !!!

Making your country energy self sufficient certainly can reduce prices........

Being an asshole and saying you want to eliminate fossil fuels and signing executive orders to promote that also can certainly increase prices.....

if you can't recognize the difference in policies and what effect they have on the market between a President Trump who was America First, pro-energy independence, pro-drilling and a Senile Biden who is America Last, anti-fossil fuels, anti-fracking there really is no hope for you.

$1.20 a gallon last year had absolutely nothing to do with presidential policies and pro-trumtard antics. Sure, the price may have gone up slightly this year because of sleepy joe, but you really need to read your "supply and demand 101" books.

But I did pay 1.80 once last year. But I had $1 off with my Giant Eagle perks. It’s so yinzer but they do come in handy.
