Pain IS Their Plan

A devastating report came out yesterday. The average family will spend $2,000 more this year to put gasoline in their car. But that's not all. Groceries will cost us an extra $1,000. This is a terrible blow to middle-class families. 

So, what was the reaction of the Biden Administration? 

They sent out Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, who must have been in drag yesterday doing his best impersonation of Marie Antoinette. She was the out-of-touch French royal who, when informed that the people were starving, infamously replied, "Let them eat cake." (She eventually "lost" her head, by the way.)

As the average national price of gas surged past $4.00 a gallon, Buttigieg's advice to financially-crushed Americans was to buy an electric car to save money on gas. 

But the average cost of an electric car is about $50,000. That's twice the cost of the average used car that most American families are driving. 

The left obviously doesn't understand economics, and it's utterly clueless about how average Americans live! That's a dangerous combination, as we're clearly seeing right now.

However, Buttigieg's response isn't surprising IF you understand the left's warped worldview. You see, your pain at the pump isn't an unfortunate accident. It's the whole point of the left's radical energy policy agenda! 

Last week, when he was asked why the administration wasn't doing more to produce more domestic energy, Buttigieg replied, "We also need to make sure that we are not galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short-term problems. . ."

Of course, we wouldn't want any permanent solutions, would we? Not when your goal is a "long-term transformation" to windmills and unicorn power. 

In the meantime, you're just going to have to suffer. But don't take my word for it. The left has been very clear about its radical agenda.

Barack Obama said he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry. 

Obama's energy secretary said they wanted gas to be $10 a gallon.

Hillary Clinton said she wanted to put coal miners out of work. 

Joe Biden said he wanted to phase out the oil and gas industry. 

His political appointees (here and here) are demanding that we bankrupt our energy companies in the name of "climate change."

They want to impose carbon taxes and "social costs" to energy, making it more expensive and forcing you to change your behavior and the way you live.

Again, high gas prices are not an accident. This is all part of their "Green New Deal" plan.
