During an interview aired on Friday’s edition of Bloomberg’s “Wall Street Week,” economist, Harvard Professor, Director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton Larry Summers responded to President Joe Biden’saccusing oil and gas companies of padding their profits by keeping gas prices high by stating, “there’s nothing that would support that in the president’s tweet, and I haven’t seen any analysis coming out of the...
Summers said, “I wish the president got more help from his economic advisers. Those spreads between gasoline prices and refined prices vary substantially on a range of factors. There [are] lags between the price of oil and the price of gasoline. When natural gas is in short supply, when diesel is in desperately short supply, it affects the mix of products that refiners provide and ways to change that spread.
He continued, “Look, at a time when we have a war to fight, at a time when energy security is a central issue for us, at a time when, over time, we’re going to have to cooperate with our energy companies on the necessary transition away from fossil fuels, I think we should be very careful about accusing them of bad behavior, unless we’ve got clear evidence. Now, the administration may have clear evidence, and if so, I’ll be the first to admit that and to want to look and evaluate the evidence.
That doesn't stop Joe from spreading the LIES! That doesn't stop that same LIE becoming FAKE NEWS for the MSM to headline. That doesn't stop those that are gullible or have a agenda (AOC) from repeating or giving credence to that LIE.
Funny, it's a natural resource, it costs the same to extract as it did before the crisis, the supply is screwed back by the oil and gas producers gouging the price - so he's a liar.
People just look up the oil companies historical profits year on year. Corrupt toady lying to Americans.
