Biden Targets Small Business Owners
This is absolutely disgusting.
In a pathetic new way to blame others instead of himself and his administration, President Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is now targeting gas station owners and is accusing them of “profiteering” off of the current gasoline crisis in America.
Granholm began by saying, “Well, certainly, the oil companies, as they have said in their shareholder meetings, are making quite a profit at this time. And, as you noted in your introduction, it’s — this phenomenon of oil prices coming down and gas prices coming down much more slowly is called rockets and feathers, shooting up quickly, coming down very slowly. It’s been happening for a long period of time.”
Granholm then targeted small business owners and said, “But when the price is so high, it is really acute for people, and there is concern about whether there is profiteering happening at the gas station level, as well as at the oil company level. And I think the oil companies must be sensitive to this. I was in Houston last week for a very large energy conference, largely oil and gas, and asking the oil and gas companies to increase production right now. Because the pain at the pump is so acute. And the reason why the pain is so acute is because so much Russian oil has come off the market. So, we need for everyone to step up, whether it’s gas station owners, whether it’s oil companies, we need to all band together at this moment against Russia and increase supply so that we take away Vladimir Putin’s means of funding this war and that we become more energy independent. And at the same time, Brianna, I would say, we also have to step on the accelerator toward clean energy so that we’re not reliant on these volatile sources.”
Leave it up to President Biden and his administration to say anything even something as low as targeting our local small gas station owners before blaming himself.
