Americans struggling to afford gas is “hilarious”?

Rapid Response

You know what the Biden administration thinks is “hilarious”? High gas prices.

Yes, Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm actually responded, “that is hilarious” when asked what the administration’s plans are to lower gas prices. WATCH:

Biden has been attacking American energy since day one. As a result, Americans are paying $1.30 per gallon of gas more than they were just one year ago.

Unfortunately, gas prices aren’t the only everyday necessity costing more under Biden:

  • Groceries are more expensive, with key kitchen staples like eggs (12.6%), chicken (7.6%) and fresh fruit (5.0%) all costing more.
  • Home heating prices are expected to “jump as much as 54% compared to last winter.”
  • With cotton prices at a ten-year high – up by as much as 50% since the beginning of this year – clothing prices are expected to rise as a result.
  • Even the costs of snacks are increasing by as much as 7%.

Overall, inflation is costing the average American family $175 more per monthThere’s nothing funny about that.
