Dreaming is for those that facts hurt their head. My statement is true, and has been true for decades. Problem with most trumpers is all the same; you see something that has nothing to do with trump, but he takes credit for it(or you give him credit for) and you guys are afraid (for good reason) to fact check? (It's called Cognitive Dissonance) My point is proven below, but if you have something besides "feel facts" in your assessment, I'm all ears? "While it’s common for presidents to be credited when gasoline prices are low and blamed when they are high, presidents don’t actually have much effect on the prices. The policies they set can have some impact, as we’ve written before. But the U.S. Energy Information Administration has explained that more than half of the retail cost of gasoline is determined by the price of crude oil, and that price is driven, largely, by supply and demand.
The issue of supply and demand is why prices at the pump have been low in 2020. Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, global oil demand dropped by 5.6 million barrels per day in the first quarter of the year, compared to the previous year, according to the International Energy Agency.
With a steep decline in road traffic, “[g]asoline was the fuel with the largest absolute decline in demand related to Covid‑19 containment measures,” according to an April report from the IEA.
Similarly, the most recent weekly report from the EIA, the U.S. agency, said, “Efforts to mitigate COVID-19’s spread led to a collapse in global petroleum product demand.” Although global demand has recovered “somewhat,” it said, demand is still lagging what it was in 2019 and “[f]uture demand for petroleum products remains highly uncertain as COVID-19 infection rates are rising in a number of countries.”
Cool, huh?

Maybe you guys can explain but the more fuel that comes from the US and possibly Canada or Mexico seems more logistically cost effective than bringing it from the middle east. Politically, I would take Canada and Mexico over the middle east any day of the week.

You live in the wrong state my man.
. Let`s trade places, Illinois is heaven for democrats . High taxes, cost of living, gas taxes, 100% increase in license plate stickers, property taxes thru the roof, aurora where I live has a **** school system, there goes $7k in taxes (thanx unions) and I have to pay private school, roads are $hit, state is broke, governor is a tyrant like all democraps.. etc etc
I checked into moving trucks for you , if you`re coming from Texas they`ll actually pay you to bring a Uhaul up here since 99% of them are all getting the hell out of here and moving south.
Come on over and put your money where your mouth is you love that liberal ideology so much. My town now requires trans bathrooms, still has the Klinton era assault weapons ban in place. you`d love it!!
I`ll go to Texas and live free and enjoy RED state awesomeness and live off half as much money while enjoying the same style of living.

I don't understand......you checked on trucks.....so YOU CAN use GOOGLE and you're Still completely clueless? 68 days vs. 4 years and it's still all biden's fault? THAT make sense to you? (rhetorical) Not a liberal, Actually a 38 year Republican....I just have too high an IQ to be a trumper! Don't care for Joe, but he's a might sight better than the alternative. I can now wait 4 years and not get my blood pressure up. I'm sorry your state sux, maybe more action and less talk. If it's so bad, Be the change!
My money is where my mouth is. I pay extensive taxes. For golf trips, remodeling Mara Lago, flying nongovernment personnel on US planes, secret service to guard people that shouldn't be guarded, graft, corruption, scams, theft we know of, and some yet to be uncovered! (Hilter was Time Magazines "Man of the Year" (actual, not a 'trump fake') in 1936, tens years later he was ablaze in a bunker! (Evil takes time to show itself, but it always does!) If we can spend some of my cash t get us back going, I'm good.
We're great in Texas (and doing fine without ya! LOL!) We've been Democrat, we're been Republican. With both, we've never had a State income tax, always had a fairly massive rainy day fund, heck, we're the only State with a legal right to secede! We are just such a great state we rock regardless of who thinks they're running the show! Honestly, we have our trailer park trumpers too, but for the most part, Texas (before trump) was: Democrat-pro people first. Republican-pro business first, and that subtle difference was about it. Apart from folks that can't let go of the idea of the 4th Reich(Cruz, Gobhert etc) you can see it returning to civility around here. Don't take this as an invite.....Y'all Stay put, we have too many know-it-all yankees already!!! Haha!
