Biden Solves High Gas Prices

[BSC911]

BSC911,

BS !

What does it cost to replace / refill the SPR ?

How will they amortize the loss they will incur ?

Who pays the distribution & storage fees ?

What about the interest on the money/oil stocks tied up in the SPR ? Maybe we could sell a few more T-Bills to cover that; upsetting the supply & demand of M1.

Are you really that stupid or do you just think everyone else on this board is ?

We don’t need to replace it. We have plenty of oil.

But if we do replace it, wait until the price drops. Sell high. Buy low. I should be running the country.

PS. If you are worried about interest on our national debt, talk to Trump. He’s responsible for more than any other president.

PSS. The US doesn’t “amortize” losses. I don’t think you know what that word means.

This is just such a strange coincidence then. Looking at the last three presidents it certainly appears, on the whole, that Executive Branch policy has some effect.

Obama's 8 year Avg = $3.03
Trump's 4 year Avg = $2.57
Bidens' 1 year Avg = $3.09

Obama High/Low = $3.96 / $1.84
Trump High/Low = $2.99 / $1.94
Biden High/Low = $3.49 / $2.42

Not adjusting for inflation, Trump's term saw a 17% lower average than Obama and a 20% lower average than Biden so far. Eerily similar comparisons, no?

(I had to copy and paste into excel to calculate high/low and avg)

PS. You can’t calculate the average by simply using the high and low. Good thing you aren’t in finance.

I didn't. I highlighted all of the cells in Excel. In the lower RH corner you get info like count and average. Check my work if you don't believe me.

Good thing you aren't in Marketing.

I had more than my share of issues with a number of the Trump tax cuts, but is just not accurate when you take away Covid-19 (not his issue).

Obama went from $10 to 19T in debt. He doubled it. Trump did not double it - he is no fiscal steward, to be sure (read: he also wanted $2,000 checks), but Obama and others were way worse - and it is causing significant issues right now.

U.S. National Debt by Year

The U.S. national debt grew to a record $34 trillion by the end of 2023. It was just $16 billion in 1930.

Both bad. I agree. Here’s the difference. Obama inherited a shitty economy. Obama handed Trump a growing economy and a declining budget deficit. Trump promptly reversed course and increased it, even BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. At least Obama tried to pay for his wild spending plans.

It’s like choosing between the tallest midget.

Yes, it is a good thing.

But my point remains. Gas prices go up and down under every president.

How many data points did you use to calculate the average. I’m not looking at your spreadsheet.

I’m sure he does. My job is performance based and I’ve been doing really well here for over a decade. I’ve been able to pay my Rivals bill at SoonerScoop every month since 2007, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

But that’s a weird question to ask.

I linked the data I used. There was a data point per month for every month in each president’s term.

From finding the data, to copying into Excel and doing a sort on each administration’s data points for high/low it took me maybe 10-12 minutes. That’s how long it takes to see if the data lines up with a random assumption from someone with a crappy track record for accuracy on nearly every subject.

 

[fatman76]

This is actually a pretty interesting point.

Biden saying there is no federal solution to COVID means our patchwork response continues

Biden saying it's up to the states to end the pandemic puts a spotlight on just how different the states have reacted.

What have I been wrong about. That unhealthy and older people are more likely to be vaccinated? Yeah, that was quite a stretch.

Now, tell me oh wise Excel preparer, explain the highs and lows under each president. Did they suddenly change their energy policies mid term?

The explanation will require more than an Excel spreadsheet. It will actually take some analytical thinking.

The question is open to all. Even fake Mensa guy.

You certainly don’t seem eager to prove it with data. So are we supposed to just trust you?

There are a ton of factors that affect fuel prices.

That’s why it’s interesting that a Republican president was bracketed by two Democrats and the difference in average prices was almost exactly the same (~20%).

Just a strange coincidence I guess. But I’m sure an expert like you has a perfect explanation for it that you’ll keep to yourself.

 

[grandhavendiddy]

On gas prices, thankfully, they have moderated a bit. The core problem with Biden, as evidenced by his BBB plan is that he is prompted to hire liberal to progressive staff in each area, without his own force of will and personal gravitas to be a centripetal force to become more moderate. Thus, in fuel, he immediately gives in to the environmental wing of the part to shut down, as an example, the Keystone pipeline and does not have a comprehensive strategy to move from fossil to cleaner energies while maintaining national security concerns and inflation/price considerations in the transition.

I happen to agree with the need for clean energy and see climate change every day with our places in West Michigan and Colorado.

Biden also has to figure out how to press China and India to be on a level climate field. He also, potentially, made a massive strategic failure in Afghanistan if we pulled out and let the Taliban and China have exclusive access to critical raw materials for battery production.

The "how" in the transition really matters and like , it appears, everything else (Afghanistan, border, covid-19, inflation, etc.) in his administration, is not being handled with the level of competence that we expect and need as citizens.

Well, yess I happen to be an expert, while you just look for a loose correlation.

But since Obama had the lowest gas prices, he must have had the best energy policy.

Great answer though. “There are a lot of factors”. I hope you’re better at marketing than you are at analysis.

Obama had the lowest single month price but he didn’t have the lowest average over his two terms. Why is that wise sage of all things energy? Show us all what true expert analysis looks like.

Thank you in advance for bestowing your greatness upon the board.

I’ve already explained it. Several times. You just don’t want to hear it because you’re stuck in your partisan mindset.

Why was it lower under Obama?

Whats the R squared correlation?

Why are gas prices dropping now?

Why are average Covid deaths lower under Biden?

Fundamental difference: obama spent to hurt America, Trump spent to reinvest in America.
