MECKLER: Yes, Biden is to blame for rising gas prices
You may have noticed that gas costs a little more these days. Or, we should probably say, a lot more.
The current national average is $3.389, according to AAA. Last month, the average was $3.187, and a year ago, the average was only $2.160. The current high is approaching the all-time high, reached in 2008 during the Obama administration, of $4.114.
What's driving the current spike in prices? According to Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler, the Biden administration's commitment to overregulating and restricting the energy industry is primarily to blame.
"When you crack down on industry, when you threaten industry with regulation, you keep the energy industry from exporting, that's going to cause prices to rise. It's fundamentally a government problem," he said. "Government intervention is causing these prices to rise."
