And DonOLD is also full of it when he talks about California’s gas tax, which hasn’t been raised in years and is .70 cents (when you combine the fees), which goes to support maintenance and public transit. So taking 70 cents or even a dollar off, that does NOT explain the normally high prices, especially when we have oil production AND refineries here. And it certainly doesn’t explain the nearly $3 per gallon jump we have had since the useful idiot invaded Iran and didn’t think about the global economic consequences.

American media DO YOU JOB and ask follow up questions on his blatant snake oil peddling and gas lighting LIES. Most of you got into this field because you wanted to speak truth to power. Just start speaking it.
