Get a fu**ing grip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Average gas price: June 2020: $2.21 June 2021: $3.07,&#8221; Jordan tweeted today. &#8220;President Biden\u2019s economy!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then came the response from the White House press flack, Jen Psaki. &#8220;You forgot to mention that gas prices are the same now as they were in June 2018. Or that this time last year unemployment was 11.1% &#8212; today it\u2019s 5.8%,&#8221; she said. &#8220;@POTUS agrees families shouldn\u2019t pay more at the pump \u2013 that\u2019s why he\u2019s opposed to GOP proposals to raise the gas tax.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The idiot Jordan refuses to acknowledge that supply and demand &#8212; simple economic policy &#8212; is creating this spike in fuel prices. Demand has returned as the COVID pandemic has receded. Supply of fuel remains limited because energy companies have yet to ramp up their production capacities to meet the pent-up demand.<\/p>\n<p>So with that I simply want to offer a simple demand of the Ohio loudmouth\/blowhard\/gasbag member of Congress.
