      Fuel prices rising 30% after Biden shut down leases then fell 25% when he opened them back up. Sure seems like he has an effect.

      Correlation does not imply causation. You’re applying 100% of the cause to Biden due to correlation when in reality Biden is only a small part.

      The Biden was the one who approved the budget, he threatened to veto if spending items were cut. He could have vetoed unless spending was cut. He didn’t and now we have inflation.

      Again, it takes a long time for government policy to influence inflation, and so what we are currently experiencing is largely from Trump’s administration. And again, a big chunk of the “inflation” isn’t actually inflation but instead corporate greed. And third, sometimes spending is necessary to avoid a bigger disaster.

          Production didn’t change for other nations

          Dude. Have you been living under a rock? Have you somehow not heard of the giant fucking war going on in Europe?

              This is a strawman fallacy. Try a little harder next time.

                  I do. It is when a person argues against something that their opponent did not advocate for.

                  Oh that’s right Putin did it. Biden totally didn’t cause US oil production to drop.

                  I did not state anything like this.
