Can our rapidly escalating rate of inflation of prices actually destroy our economy, the world’s strongest? Fuel prices at the pump for cars, trucking, farm machinery, airlines, home heating and fuels used in the manufacture of plastics, fertilizers and consumer goods and foods are skyrocketing.

This follows President Biden doing everything he could from his first days in office, including stopping construction of the Keystone XL gas pipeline and well sites on government lands, in my opinion because he was politically beholden to climate extremists like left wing, Green New Deal proponents.

Biden’s stated goal was to eliminate fossil fuels. Let’s hope and pray it’s not too late for Biden to wake up and reverse directions to free up American oil and gas industries to produce more fuels. This could result in fuel prices dropping rapidly, since fuel oil contracts are based on futures bidding. If not, inflation could get out of control and our economy could be in danger of collapsing, as it recently did in Venezuela, where over 60% of the population remains under the poverty line.

This is the same nice guy president under whom we’re seeing not only the worst inflation in 40 years but also the worst border crisis in American history, with record drug smuggling through the southern border and the worst crime wave in cities since the 1990s.
