Didn’t Trump want to give another round of checks anyway (for around that amount)? I agree also with you that they should’ve been more strategic.

According to a new paper from four economists at the Federal Reserve of San Francisco, it's because the American government was relatively more generous during the pandemic, borrowing and spending trillions of dollars to not only fund COVID-19 relief efforts but to line the pockets of Americans with direct payments that enlarged the money supply and overheated the economy. Refresh my memory, who was the POTUS handing out cash during the pandemic ??

I never said any of that, I’m pointing out that experts are saying that, yeah, Pop Pop is largely at fault even though you Joemosexuals keep denying it. Believe it or not many of us Ultra-mega-MAGA have a big problem with Republican, and Trumps, overspending too.
May 11, 20223 yr I just filled up my tank at Sam's Club like a good little poor, and I didn't even feel the need to put out a news bulletin and make a whiny Facebook status with a picture of the total paid. You Trumpbots should take some cues...

May 12, 20223 yr Yeah, this administration really cares about the average American https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-admin-cancels-oil-gas-lease-sale-record-high-prices Biden admin cancels massive oil and gas lease sale amid record-high gas prices Interior Department canceled a 1-million-plus acre oil lease in Alaska as Americans face painfully high prices at the pump
May 12, 20223 yr Quote Biden officials have said they are working on its proposal for a new offshore program but describe the industry’s concerns as overblown. According to Interior’s figures, more than 8 million acres of offshore federal waters already under lease remain unused. Since the Ukraine crisis unfolded, I have said that we are in desperate times that make more drilling necessary, but why are there so many unused leases? Any new lease would take years to actually impact the oil supply.

The administration had until the end of the current five-year plan — set to expire at the end of next month — to complete these lease sales. Oh.
May 12, 20223 yr 5 minutes ago, Toastrel said: Oh. Quote "I blame Biden for all lack of production. He has scared away investment," Milloy told FOX Business. "I don't trust him in court defending leasing," he added, suggesting that the president will find "any excuse to not drill. They even tried to use the social cost of carbon decision to stop leasing." "Unfortunately, this is becoming a pattern - the administration talks about the need for more supply and acts to restrict it," Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of policy, economics and regulatory affairs at the American Petroleum Institute, told FOX Business in a statement Thursday. "As geopolitical volatility and global energy prices continue to rise, we again urge the administration to end the uncertainty and immediately act on a new five-year program for federal offshore leasing."
May 12, 20223 yr Does... does he even understand that he's president? historically unmitigated disaster of a politician.
May 12, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, Toastrel said: Oh. also.. Quote When former President Trump opened Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling, the lease sale attracted only three bidders, including the state of Alaska itself. basically they opened up all these lands for leasing, and nobody is biting. they blame "the greens" for scaring people off, but the bottom line is that if someone wanted to drill there the federal government made it available, and private industry decided the cost was not worth the payoff.

Any new lease would take years to actually impact the oil supply. Simple -- offshore is the most expensive oil to drill. On top of that, many of the rigs needed have been cold-stacked and would require significant investment to be brought back into working condition. Finally, offshore is also the riskiest type of oil exploration since getting geological data is difficult. Looking at untapped offshore (especially deepwater) oil leases that aren't being used isn't meaningful -- a lot of those leases were bought for very little because they either have very little oil or wouldn't be economical at prices sub $150.
