    After averaging just $2.77 per gallon under President Trump, and a price of $2.33 upon leaving office, the price of gasoline skyrocketed under President Biden, reaching $3.33 a year later. It went on to reach a peak at $5.00 per gallon and remains elevated today.

    Gas has been under $2.77 since October for me, or at least around there. I’m sure they used “remains elevated” because the current average isn’t all that bad.

    Yeah, AAA lists the national average at $3.13 today and $3.08 a year ago.

    He basically just told people to figure it out for him…not sure what his actual plan will be. I’m sure his supporters are eating this up however.

    The concept of a plan.

    Literally says nothing about what they are actually going to do about any of it, just that they are gonna fix everything while they boast about how cheap gas was under Trump last time. All while immigrants working on farms stayed home today out of fear which will literally make food more expensive as crops sit unharvested.

      Serious question, what work is being done on a farm in January? I realize that the South doesn’t typically get cold, but they have planting and harvest seasons too. It was my understanding that these tend to be migrants, who travel to southern countries during this time.
