Everything is Expensive
When I last filled my tank, regular gas was $5.27 a gallon. Diesel was almost $7. Trump did that. He attacked Iran because his buddy Netanyahu asked him to, and nobody has gained anything. These skyrocketing gas prices were wholly manufactured by Trump, and he could end them at any time. But he doesn't. And they echo through our entire economy – combines use diesel to harvest our food, and so do the trucks that take it to our stores. Baumgartner has been silent on the issue. We need a rep that will stand up to ego- and dementia-fueled decisions in DC, not a lackey who bends over for whatever economy-killing whims pop into Trump's head each week. Please, let's take action before our strategic oil reserves are depleted and we literally can't buy gas anymore. We're at a 44-year low right now. Any new projects won't come up to speed for several years. Can you afford to not afford gas for another year? Two?
