Kamala is an idiot for bragging about the administration bringing down gas prices. But no more of an idiot that those who were blaming it for high gas prices (of whom there were a few around here if my memory serves me correctly).
I said it in another thread and I’ll say it again here - I wish Biden and (D) would just own high gas prices since it’s what they want. Higher prices accelerate the transition to substitutes. Stop blaming Putin and oil company profits and embrace it.

Gas prices have now dropped 69 cents per gallon over the last six weeks.
This drop in gas prices is the fastest in over a decade. We will continue
to fight to lower costs for the American people.
$0.69 drop is more that pennies.
I know it isn't like the $4,000 Trump used to buy you but still,
$0.69 a gallon is a windfall to an awful lot of people

I think you quoted the wrong post? Cause that has nothing to do with what I said. (BTW, never voted for Trump, so not sure how I was bought…)
Own it when ...
But don't take credit when ...

The other was a response to previous post
I agreed with ace as far back as the last gas spike in '08. I think it was Krugman who at the time said about the same thing,
and still do agree.
misunderstood his point of "owning it"
let me slow it down for the short bus
aces is saying that higher gas prices is good for green energy transition. Higher prices means less demand. Biden should be touting higher gas prices as a feature in the acceleration of getting us off fossil fuels. He's saving the planet after all.
That messaging will return after mid terms. But first they have to throw a pizza party for the college kids and give them $10k so they’ll vote this fall.

She forgot to mention her pronouns here. Very disappointing.
