So the Biden administration has decided that the best way to “handle” surging energy prices is to lie about it.
Heating bills are expected to jump as much as 54% this winter, consumers are seeing the largest spike in electricity prices since 2014 and the largest rise in the cost of natural gas since 2008, and gas prices are at 7-year highs.
But what does Press Secretary Jen Psaki say in response? Gas prices are rising “in some parts of the country, not all.”

That is a flat-out lie. In case she just has no idea what she is taking about, here is a comparison between gas prices today, and gas prices in October last year and in January 2021. Gas prices are UP in every single state.
