Energy producers aren't causing gas prices to spike

Families are being hit by a one-two punch of skyrocketing inflation and the highest gas prices in history. How did we get here? The answer is simple: poor policy choices by the Biden administration.

I was not surprised to see White House press secretary Jen Psaki try to cover up these policy choices by deflecting blame to energy producers. She recited talking points, now universal among Washington liberals, that energy companies are sitting on over 9,000 “unused” permits to drill for oil and gas on federal lands and thus don’t need any relief or help from the Biden administration. This might be the most misleading statistic thrown around in Washington since the people were told that “Build Back Better” would cost taxpayers “zero dollars.”
