Joe Biden is the kind of man who deliberately would steer his car into a ditch, crawl from the wreckage, and then probe the ditch for criminal conduct.
Biden shared with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer his plan to cut gasoline costs: “As president of the United States, use the Justice Department to go in an investigate this whole issue of price-gouging.”
When Biden uttered such baseless paranoia in September, the Associated Press put him in his place. “THE FACTS: There actually is little evidence something nefarious is behind the higher gasoline prices, as Biden suggests.”
It takes profound naivete for Biden not to recognize how his and his team’s anti-oil animus has driven fuel costs skyward. In fewer than 11 months, this administration has:
• Killed the Keystone XL Pipeline
• Threatened to plug the Canada-to-Michigan Enbridge Line 5 pipeline
• Halted oil leases in a sliver of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
• Stopped oil and gas leases on federal lands
• Proposed a methane tax that could cost this industry up to $10 billion annually
• Encouraged Left-wing activists to pressure financiers to defund oil companie
