Are we 'naive', or are many incapable of reasoning correctly? Basing your voting on gas prices, many would like to blame Biden of course, suggests one or both points in the (first sentence) are true. NO, he has little to no control over prices. OPEC, a CARTEL with 15 countries own 81.5% of the world's oil reserves. They recently cut 2 mil barrels a day. Check the countries. Which are friendly to the U.S.? OPEC cut production to raise cost of oil. Is that hard to 'reason'? What president would wish for higher prices? Would OPEC like a different political party here? Let's not be mentally numb!!
