[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 5287055, member: 63706"] No one's claiming that, nice strawman. To what extent Democrat policies affect gas prices worldwide is because the markets are international. We halted all new exploration, and made it more difficult to process crude from Canada. We are sanctioning Russia, which is only hurting us, not them. We are also sanctioning Venezuela, though that's been happening for a while, so they aren't willing to help us out. Joe is seen as weak by OPEC, and they will charge whatever they want. I know that's all pretty complicated stuff, you able to keep up so far? Show me on the chart.
