SO WALK THE 30 MILES TO WORK.  WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?  Gas prices are on the rise again, and we can only imagine the impact this will have on the election.  Gasoline prices are not an abstraction, a statistic in the newspaper.  People actually feel them every day.  From Gateway Pundit:   

California gas prices soared to the highest point of the year on Tuesday, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA).

The average price per gallon for regular unleaded in California surged to $5.26 on Tuesday.

The national average is $3.85 per gallon, according to AAA.

KTLA reported:

Gasoline prices in California have surged to the highest point of the year and are approaching prices seen last summer, according to the American Automobile Association.

According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded in California was $5.26 on Tuesday, up 10 cents over the past week and 37 cents over the past month. A year ago, drivers were paying $5.34 per gallon.

In Los Angeles County alone, the average price for regular unleaded was $5.36/gallon on Tuesday.

Joe Biden’s first order of business was to kill tens of thousands of jobs.
On his first day in office, Biden signed an executive order canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Gas prices were around $2.34 per gallon when Trump left office in January 2021.
Now the national average is $3.85 per gallon.

COMMENT:  Biden claims that inflation has been tamed.  But the fact is that the American people aren't terribly impressed, if the polls are accurate.  They know they are paying 20% more than they were paying two years ago, just to survive.  They are not loving Bidenomics. 

Gas prices alone have the power to bring down the Biden presidency.  Jimmy Carter, another Democratic incumbent, was badly damaged by the energy price spikes of the 1970s.  Ronald Reagan benefited.

And just watch the reaction when Biden announces that the solution is to go out and buy a sixty-thousand-dollar electric car that has to be charged every night.
