Biden’s Policy Whiplash

Joe Biden’s insane policy agenda has been on full display in recent days.  So much so, members of his own party are calling him out for it, and he’s giving voters whiplash in the process.

 

While stumping for candidates in California Friday afternoon, Biden declared, “We're going to be shutting these [coal] plants down all across America and having wind and solar power.”

 

That’s insane.  I’ve been warning for weeks now that we should be learning from Europe’s gamble on green energy.  But Biden is doubling down on that bad bet.

 

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin (D) blasted Biden, saying:

 

“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs.  Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden.”

 

The White House tried to suggest that Biden’s comments were being misconstrued.  But on Sunday, Biden went even further.  He told New York liberals that he was cracking down on the oil and natural gas industry, too.  “No more drilling,” Biden said. “There is no more drilling.  I haven’t formed any new drilling.”

 

Does he not remember what he said just a couple of days ago? 

 

On Wednesday, Biden told an audience in New Mexico that he wanted more oil drilling, saying, “We haven’t slowed them [oil companies] down at all, they should be drilling more than they’re doing now.  If they were drilling more, we’d have more relief at the pump.”

 

Once again, Biden will say anything to maintain power.  But he’s told us before that he intends to destroy the American energy industry.  And we all know that his policies are driving up the cost of energy.  The national average for a gallon of gas today is approximately $3.80, up a $1.40 since Biden took office.
