National Economic Council Director Brian Deese declined to specifically name any oil and gas companies that President Biden blamed earlier Thursday for exploiting the rise in energy prices.

"I want to give you an opportunity, for Americans who want to do the patriotic thing, where should they be going to buy their gas right now?" the reporter asked. "Are there good companies that have worked with the administration and folks that you're frustrated with right now?"

"And that means doing everything we can to bring down the price of gas at the pump everywhere," Deese continued. "And so that's our focus, and the issue of the prices of gas going up very quickly and tracking oil prices and coming down much more slowly is not new. It's old enough that economists have a particular term associated with it called rockets and feathers.

Biden also called on Congress to force oil companies to pay fees for unused leases, accusing energy producers of "hoarding" wells on federal lands. He said that companies "sitting on unused leases and idle wells will either have to start producing or pay the price for their inaction."

US Oil companies are CLEARLY keeping prices inflated to rack up as much profit as possible on the backs of consumers. Don't believe me? Let's take a look at the quarterly earnings reports. It is expedient to blame Biden but this is on US Oil companies, NOT Biden.

Watch this clip verifying that Biden picking Harris as VP was the right move for 'Him' not for Americans or our allies.

Don't matter if they name anyone. This is all Biden bogus material. Coverup to keep from showing up to solve the problem.

Yeah, they do sometimes have a small problem with messaging. Let’s help them out.

Biden received a lot of donations from the oil and gas industry.

اقای محترم توافق برجام یعنی به آتش کشیدن خاورمیانه که مطمئنا نفعش به تو میرسه که انقدر برای توافق سینه میزنی

Presidents don't control the price of petroleum. Oil companies are paying dividends and buying back stock instead of drilling for oil on private land they already own and for which they have permits.

Because it is bullshit and President Pedo knows it.

Why name all of them?

You are responsible for that corrupted government officials

CAN THIS POOR MAN SEE ? HE LOOKS AS IF HE IS GOING BLIND !!!!!!!
