Joe Biden, your nominal president of the United States, has spent all year assuring the Democrat Party’s increasingly demented, radical voter base that he was going to “Build Back Better” and cajole his party’s extremely narrow majorities in congress to enact new laws that would “fundamentally transform our economy and society.”
To his credit, I guess, his administration has succeeded in effecting such a transformation in one area: Energy. On the day he was installed into the Oval Office - which he has recently abandoned for a soundstage across the street to better facilitate his TelePrompter readings - gasoline was historically cheap, crude oil was cheap, natural gas was cheap and coal was cheap, and all of those products were in plentiful, even abundant supply. These are simple facts that are unarguable.
In 9 short months he and his minions have transformed the energy picture into one in which gasoline prices are at 8-year highs, crude prices are at 7-year highs, natural gas prices are at 12-year highs and coal is at its highest point in a decade. Somehow, he has also managed to create a situation related to supply of those products that is now so dire across the globe that many fear thousands in Europe and Asia could literally freeze to death over the coming winter as they sit in the dark in their blacked-out homes.
That, my friends, is what it looks like when Democrats succeed in executing a “fundamental transformation” of one sector of the economy. It’s what Biden and his evil minions want to do to our entire society.
Over the last several months, Biden and his fellow Democrats in congress have been squabbling over the details of the main legislative vehicle designed to carry out this fundamental transformation, which they initially pretended was a “budget reconciliation” bill so that they could pass it with just a simple majority in the senate. Seemed like an easy enough task; after all, the Ds own 50 senate seats with their weirdo vice president, the perpetually hopped-up-on-something Kamala Harris waiting to sprint over to the capitol building to supply the giggling, tie-breaking vote.
