When Joe Biden was running for President, he said he was going to eliminate fossil fuel. No one thought he would do all he could to eliminate fossil fuel the first day. Then to top it off be bull headed enough to continue that program when it became evident the United States needs the fossil fuel with the war in Ukraine to keep functioning. His less than effective release of oil reserves did done nothing to reduce the cost of fuel. Fuel costs have risen every single week since Joe Biden took office in most sections of the country. The only permanent way to reduce the fuel costs is allow drilling on Federal Lands like it was under Trump. The United States is not ready for electric cars yet, they do not even have the charging stations to support the current electric cars in existence.
Today the news said the average electric car sells for $68,000. That is more than the average family income in most states. There is a Chevrolet Volt stripped that sells for a little less than $30,000 but what about families that cannot fit into to a compact car. Also the driving distance after charging is much less for the cheaper electric vehicles. Most electric SUV’s cost over $80,000.
A large segment of the population is on fixed income and could never afford an electric car. At current prices and as the fuel prices increase they cannot afford to drive even to work or take short trips. Driving vacations are out in many cases because the prohibitive fuel cost. The cost here in Arizona at the lowest station in Casa Grande is $5.49 a gallon. Then President Biden has the gall to say the increasing cost of fuel is a good thing to prepare people to purchase electric vehicles. President Biden never even had a drivers license for many years he took the train from Delaware to Washington D.C. for many years. He has no idea of the budget challenges of the a family under the conditions that he has created by his executive orders.
If you read the definition on the internet of the make up of the United States Government, it defines the three levels of government as envisioned by the writers of the U.S. Constitution. It states there are three branches of government, the Executive Branch responsible for enforcing the laws Congress has enacted. Congress made up of two bodies the House of Representative and the Senate is responsible for making the laws, and lastly the Judiciary , the Supreme Court responsible for interpreting the laws enacted by the Congress.
Does that look like our government today? No, it does not, the President is proposing virtually every law enacted, enacting laws by executive order while Congress does nothing to override bad Executive Orders. So, in effect the United States is a dictatorship with the President doing as he pleases with little input or resistance from the Congress. Congress proposes some laws but the very few are enacted because they vote along party lines rather than for the good of the country. The Judiciary is slow to act and can decide if they want to hear a case or not. Because of that many important cases are never heard by the Supreme Court.
What to do about all this? The primary elections are beginning to occur around the country. Get out and vote for candidates that will reign in an uncontrollable President. A person that will change an inactive Congress, close our borders, allow drilling so we can become energy independent again. The arrogance of one woman U.S. Senator said look folks I do not have a gasoline fuel problem I have an electric car. Get rid of people like her that are not realistic that people cannot afford an electric car , there are not enough charging stations. Also some engineers have stated that more electricity will be needed than ever before to charge the vehicles and that solar energy is not sufficient to support that need so we will have rolling electric outages..
HELP GET GOOD CANDIDATES, GO TO GET ACQUAINTED SESSIONS FOR THE CANDIDATES SO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR. HELP STABLILIZE THE GOVERNMENT FROM OUR PRESENT FRAGILE STATUS.
