John Kerry as Gas Prices Skyrocket: “We Absolutely Don’t” Need to Drill For More Oil

Joe Biden’s Climate Envoy John Kerry (who served in Viet Nam) hosted a discussion with the USC Center for Public Diplomacy over the weekend.

John Kerry is the perfect person to be in charge of reducing carbon emissions since he owns several mansions, a mega yacht and flies in private jets.

John Kerry said “we absolutely don’t” need to drill for more oil and gas during last weekend’s discussion.

Kerry made the remarks as gas prices soared to new record highs this week.

The cost of gas at the pump rose 55 cents in May to reach new highs almost every day of the month

US Producer Price Index rose 0.8% in May from a month earlier. In April the PPI climbed 0.4%. The number indicates the price crunch consumers are facing under the Joe Biden economy.

Americans are being forced to make changes to their lifestyle because gas is $5+ a gallon nationwide.

Instead of drilling for more oil here at home, Joe Biden plans on begging the Saudis for more oil.

But the US can’t drill.

I don’t know if it’s the same in the US, but here in the U.K. most of the price of oil is tax. If governments actually have a shit about people they’d just lower the tax to compensate the rise.

@WintaTheAngle That's an excellent point. There's a lot of tax on gasoline here too.

@WintaTheAngle i don't know if the federal gas tax makes up most of the price... i don't think it does, but it makes up a big chunk of it. in the past, i know they have reduced or eliminated it, but not sure that has happened this go round.

@Budwick @boudinMan Yeah. I understand that taxes have to be paid, especially after the last two years. But when people have money in their pockets they spend more and tax comes from that too. You’d think the government would have people on it. I guess not.
