  1. Quit buying gas guzzling SUV’s for starters.

  2. Unless the workers unite against the rich and all their news media outlets, nothing will be done.

  3. What Can Americans Do Now To Save? Vote out ALL DEMOCRATS!!!

  4. This inflation is the fed taking their stimulus checks back. They were never free.

  5. Joe Biden 04/20/22 – “We must be bold in transitioning away from the energy sources of the past, which is why I have directed the Secretary of the Interior, consistent with existing law, to pause oil and natural gas leasing on public lands and offshore waters. I have also ordered federal agencies to end fossil fuel subsidies wherever possible. However, we will not abandon the communities that have kept our lights on and our heat running for generations. As President, I’m committed to making investments to assist coal, oil, natural gas, and power plant communities as our Nation transitions to a green energy economy”

  6. Welcome to Comedy Central…..

    🤣😂🤣

  7. Lets see hunter bidens earning from the ukraine?

  8. No this is still Biden’s fault and policy misjudgments he needs to say we need energy independent make sure oil companies can get permits no roadblocks, lng exploits, allow anwar, build pipelines not just keystone double down on American energy

  9. You got what you voted for America!

  10. I don’t eat out anymore, I don’t buy anything unless it’s absolutely necessary, and stay home on the weekends. If everybody did this I bet prices would come down, hit the 1percent where it hurts, his wallet.

  11. Americans can vote out woke libs

  12. Focus on what you can control, like voting dems out in midterms and 2024

  13. The democrats are good for nothing when it comes to the money and the economy.

  14. Let’s get creative people !! We live in the best country in the world where only the BRAVE will always survive 🇺🇸 creativity makes you money !
    Please stay positive and working hard my friends 🇺🇸 NO EXCUSES

  15. I wish the jan6 insurrection was real

  16. Funny American people are suffering. You yes you voted for this, you should celebrate your stupidity. Be proud.

  17. The national average price of a gallon of gas has doubled since President Biden took office in Jan. 2021.

    Jan. 2021: $2.39 per gallon
    June 2022: $4.86 per gallon

  18. Boycott or your going to Starve!

  19. Remember to thank your fellow American who voted for Biden and high gas prices never vote for democrat again we were gas independent under Trump Biden is puppet of the green new deal AOC. Strength voter integrity no to voter fraud. God is aware of the democrats and Biden abuse against the poor middle class of this country, shame on them

  20. Oust Biden. Trump 2024 America First. Hold China, Russia, Mexico accountable. Finish border wall, finish XL pipeline.

  21. If you live in California, you can steal whatever as long as it's not over $1000.

  22. Intrest rates up and stock markets down and a country boy can survive. I'd like to spit some beechnut in that dudes eye (Biden) cause a country boy can survive.

  23. Remember when Biden promised to destroy the fossil fuel industry? He pulled the trigger

  24. I don't understand. Why doesn't anyone just simply BUY a $35,000 – $60,000 electric car?
    That way you can save on gas.
    Every Single American makes at LEAST $150,000 a year and has an average of a 780 credit score.
    Stop complaining about gas prices and start going into extreme debt with an electric car loan today 😂😂😂
    And don't get me started on houses. Ya'll just need to BUY a house with that $250,000 every single American has in their savings account.
    America is gross.

  25. what can Americans do? remove all crooked politicians from the office

  26. "Since I took office, families are carrying less debt; their average savings are up. A recent survey from the Federal Reserve found that more Americans feel financially comfortable than at any time since the survey began in 2013." Joe Biden – June 03, 2022 Rehoboth Beach, Delaware 10:48 a.m. ET
