Gas Prices Shatter Record

We are doomed.

If you haven’t been looking at your local gas pump then you will be very surprised to learn that gas prices have now hit record highs for two straight weeks. President Biden has defended this bad news by claiming these prices are simply transitory as America continues to push toward a greener economy.

According to Fox News, during his trip to Japan, Biden stated, “When it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over.” 

Now the Biden Administration is dealing with how to damage control about the two straight weeks of record high gas prices.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) found that on Monday gas prices reached their highest national average ever recorded at an astounding $4.596.

I went down a rabbit hole on gas prices in reporting this story on the headwinds for Democrats.

The daily national average for unleaded gas has **set a new record high** every single day for a month.
