Y’all saw this coming months ago. The Biden administration is now considering sending taxpayer funded “gas cards” to taxpayers who cannot afford the gasoline prices created by the Biden administration energy policy. Yes, murica’ it’s a circle of stupid.
WASHINGTON – […] Biden officials are taking a second look at whether the federal government could send rebate cards out to millions of American drivers to help them pay at gas stations — an idea they examined months ago before ruling it out. Aides had found that shortages in the U.S. chip industry would make it hard to produce enough rebate cards, two people familiar with the matter said. White House officials also fear there would be no way to prevent consumers from using them for purchases other than gasoline, according to another person familiar with the discussions.
[…] Biden aides have also looked in recent days at invoking the Defense Production Act to move diesel and other refined products should localized shortages materialize, two people familiar with the matter said.
[…] The revived brainstorming reflects how higher fuel costs have emerged as one of the Biden administration’s chief political threats and a serious hurdle for the economy overall. (read more)
It’s really ashamed that Communism is never revealed as a death cult, until everyone’s dead?
Not communism, corporatism. The State is now subsidizing Exxon, not taking over Exxon.
Communism gives you Venezuela. Corporatism gives you richer businessmen and more powerful politicians.
And a poorer citizen. Corporatism.
Maybe, but it’s got a big dose of communism in it.
‘ … more powerful politicians.’
More like a kakistocracy to me.
Corporatism; fascism…
The only real distinction between communism, fascism or “corporatism” is who is allowed at the top of power structure. Everything else is just minutia.
Exactly. The left is very fascistic. They split these hairs in order to distract people from the core reality of what they are.
All socialism is theft. On a planetary scale.
So much thinking 🥴, so little effect.
Geez Joeboy, just pump, refine, sell, repeat…
And eliminate “gas”/”fuel” taxes!
0h what a web
We do weave…..

It’s LGBTQ month.
Let’s Get Biden To Quit!
Pride growth before a fall!
Goeth!😆
Both words are accurate 👌 🤣
Yeah, that too.
Absolutely! Plus think how ticked off all the lefty radicals will be when we steal their acronym. It’s a win-win!
That is a good enough reason for him to quit since nothing else about his residency makes any sense.
Stealing that one.
Gas cards = Voting cards
Exactly 💯
Gas cards = more demand on gas = higher gas prices.
=more gas cards
It’s the circle of life man.
Only sent to democrats. /s
Retired Magistrate here: Never thought I would say that any president could make President Carter look good; I was wrong. The installed dementia patient makes President Carter look good.
There I said it!
This pos makes Carter look like Teddy Roosevelt!!
Mr. Magoo has better vision than these clowns. Idiots running the country. Yet people will not revolt. Pathetic.
👿✅️Paying so called voters for some so called votes🗳
✅️Getting more of our Country addicted to absolute Government dependance☠️💯🚬
👉 Slavery or destruction is that Train 🚆 coming straight at us 👈
Upon first hearing this new gimmick, I thought there is no way people can be so stupid as to no see this absolute lunacy. The merciful, beneficent gubmint is going to print more money, adding to inflation, to put a bandaid on cancer they caused. Round and round we go, where we stop…..pretty sure we all know.
Not just that, but “free” money for gas also increases the demand for gas, increasing the price.
“Free” gas guarantees $10.00 per gallon gas.
Yeah, but…like…it’s free…man! /s
The Mousetrap works because the mouse believes that the cheese is free.
If this plan does go forward, it will have to be sufficiently close to the election so as to avoid an even larger wave of inflation washing angry consumers out to sea, yet early enough to send the hypocritical message that President Joe Biden loves you and wants to protect your D-I-G-N-I-T-Y!
You know, I think these cretins have several more waves of these stunts on cue. It appears that they are MAGA-tonedeaf. 😉
Like sitting in a bucket that you’re trying to lift by the handles?
That visual made me lol!
Who would qualify for such a card?
Proof of double boosters comes to mind.
💥No proof for illegals
✅️Just us Citizens
😳 No jabs, no gas, etcetera
I am thisclose to identifying as an illegal alien.
Union Pacific is helping to screw things up.
Is part of the solution to eliminate the requirement for DEF?
I know some people who have dismantled the feature, so they are no longer using DEF.
Shut down the pipelines – then reduce the amount allowed via rail.
Okay…okay…I see where this is going….
Most say this government is stupid… I say it’s brilliantly doing EXACTLY what they said they would do.
Just look at this, the government manufactured a energy crisis after promising to do exactly that… Now their using the created crisis to buy voters.
How could you not consider this an absolute success?
👌 The enemies of our Country’s destruction is moving forward according to the agenda they’ve worked so long for 👍
Don’t worry! Be happy. God’s in charge.
Maybe, but a lot of evil people, don’t anticipate the blowback effects.
I always think of this video.
Oh man, that was entirely hilarious.
In my area, gas prices which last week cracked $5/gallon, are now slightly back under, at about $4.89/gallon. So I’m thinking, prices have become so outrageously unsustainable, that if they fall back to about $4.50, maybe some foolish and gullible motorists will be relieved and grateful for the drop in prices (which would still be 100% higher than they were when Brendan took office).
When and if Roe gets overturned or modified we will see the violent leftists come out of the woodwork with great zeal.
They will spill more blood than their beloved abortions; however, this time there just may be serious pushback, and not from the undercover FBI liars/agents. Alpha men are going to come front and center, the beta men will hide behind their feminists.
DOJ Garland, who cannot forget the denied Supreme Court spot will slowly, ever so slowly walk toward justice, yet not cross the line to effect law and order…no, he will side with jackboot order only!
Wait for Hillary, Michelle and her beta male consort to come before the media with those fairy dust words. Pence and his Rino pals will babble on yet do nothing for the families who struggle to make ends meet.
Like in the movie Tombstone, a “reckoning” is coming. Prepare yourselves wisely…
I believe Newsom floated that idea for California drivers though I can’t remember the particulars.
Anytime anything involving money occurs, it seems in America that the vultures of theft, fraud and graft descend. As with everything else that ails the country, it’s humans who are the problem.
There are those of us who use benefits as proscribed, likely a majority, and then there are the rest.
I don’t know the POS identifier matrix but tying the cards to actual fuel dispensers if those are identifiable would be one solution. That wouldn’t stop someone from hanging out at the pump island changing cards for cash, particularly in the majority of states where self-serve prevails.
Where I live, the pump islands are populated with facility employees and gas is dispensed by them and they still monitor the diesel pumps even though those are self-serve. Shady characters would be easily sussed out.
IDK, seems like a bad solution to a problem they, the PTB’s, created. I’d qualify being a senior on a low fixed income but I don’t drive much anymore so don’t need fuel on a regular basis.
IMO, spend more time on fixing the economy and less time on redistributing taxpayer dollars. Maybe then I wouldn’t have had to close my business in protest of all the onerous government regulations, mandates, and destruction of small business. Maybe I’d still be working and building widgets like I did for decades. As it is, screw them. Hope their planes drill smoking holes. I won’t be sad.
I can see the head lines in about 3 months: Postal worker found with 1000’s of gas cards in apartment. Empty envelopes stashed in Rubbermaid bin in closet. The gas card will never ever make it to the intended recipients.
That’s plausible, given how much practice they’ve already had with ballots.
Just looking to get the minority support but it isn’t going to work.
I’m still waiting for a mandate for mail in ballots as it will be too expensive to drive to the polls.
I can walk to my polling place, TG!
And Biden’s 10,000 mules dumping over 2 million votes into drop boxes can get paid with gas cards this November. That’s one of the few ways the corrupt Democrats can win any Congressional races in November.
Biden brags that we have put together–and you guys did it for Obama before this–the most extensive voter fraud organization in history.
Yep, that’s probably the next trick up their sleeves.
Well, leaving out the whole issue of drilling,so we would be energy independent with low prices in the first place…
Wouldn’t a better idea be to “let” us keep more of our own money to begin with, rather than “giving” us cards to buy gas with? (Don’t see the issue of “would buy other things,” since they could certainly make them acceptable only at certain places for certain goods.)
But no…because that way, they couldn’t skim off the top and “give” us what’s left…AND they couldn’t give contracts to their kids and donors for starting up companies to make the cards and to administrate the handing out of cards…and start new gov agencies to control the cards and new investigation and intel agencies to be sure no one’s cheating with the cards…or to collect our data to see what we our using the cards for and where…
That’s why the simple way (“letting” us keep more of our own money in the first place) never works in DC…those “socialist” kids (I know one, who’s over 50 years old now) who are always saying we need to “pool” our money, as if zuck, bloombert, and bezos, and the other rich dems are waiting eagerly to give “their fair share” for “free college” and “free medical care” — ‘cos of course, they can’t do it otherwise, on their own — just never quite get to the point of understanding that it’s not for lack of the right legislation that some people are haves and others are have-nots…
…that there must be some other, mysterious force involved…keeping us all so “unequal.” I know! It’s white supremacy! Am I right?
“Every nation has the government it deserves.”
(“Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle mérite.”)
Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821)
So…. if you want to change it…start today…involve friends…family……..CHANGE it…….!!!
Boy, what an oversimplification THIS is.
Sure, “if you want to change it, change it.” And then, in 2024, like in 2020, the Election will be rigged in every strategic area where it will make a difference, and every institution we’re supposed to trust, from the DOJ to the Supreme Court, will be complicit in the fix, just as they all were in 2020.
What else you got?
soap box, ballot box, ammo box
We are in an abusive relationship with the government. If your spouse beats you, why would you assume it will just stop? Perhaps an apology would hallmark the end of the abuse, but anything short of an honest admission will only lead to more of the same.
I will gladly forgive this government, not the individuals of course without punishment, should they apologize, step down and subject themselves to the will (justice) of the people.
But they abused us when they stole the election. People who think voting harder will fix that are battered wives believing that they just need to love their husband harder so that he doesn’t give her another black eye.
Local elections? State wide? Yes, these very well will make the descent far more tolerable and they may help, but they took the top, there’s likely no grass roots solution to that….
The Titanic is syncing and voting harder is pouring a glass of wine. It makes the going down easier, but it’s still going down.
we’re trying, but it is being shown to be futile, since the entire FBI, DOJ and the AG himself, are vilifying us while on the side of BLM and Antifa.
Most of the tax payers don’t pay taxes due to EIC. And they’re the beneficiaries who get the rebates and the middle class who can’t claim EIC are stuck with the tab.
This HAS to be unconstitutional. I mean….”C’mon, man!”
Not if McConnell blesses it and gets a bill through the Senate…
Glad that the adults are back in charge. We are now finally experiencing the strong economical standards that we were always used to in the USA in the past. Only President Biden and the Democrats can implement a taxpayer funded VISA card without any fraud or kickbacks. Hopefully, they will put an income limit of $1,000,000.00 a year on the card, so well deserved Government union members will finally be able to achieve the American dream. Please take this opportunity to go invest in US Treasury Bonds, because the opportunity there is strong.
Whatever happened to “you will own nothing and be happy”?
We are reaching that “own nothing” stage with all this inflation.
Are we not just supposed to just enjoy our happiness over it? And don’t think gas will not just be administratively added to the EBT cards. The left doesn’t need legal authority to do whatever they want.
They’ll have the cards ready at the midterm elections after they check your ballot. Deceased voters get double coupons.
In other words, “Let’s continue the money printing which is driving up the price of energy which is making people economically dependent on the Federal government.”
It came out a few months ago people were getting hundreds of Covid shots in order to collect the associated cash bonuses. A year or so from now we will be reading stories about “people experiencing homelessness” caught trying to cash out their Obama-Gas cards at liquor stores.
Those who work, pay
Non-workers get it for free
Then everyone checks out
Nobody works
Scarcity and starvation ensues
Then revolution, but not before the locusts at the top move to another country to rape.
They are looking to do that here in North Carolina. $200.00 to every licensed driver. Apparently we have lots of covid relief money left over……
But what will I do the second week?
I’m very sad at the turn NC has taken. I lived there in the 70s. Apparently, the Lefties and especially the Never Trumpers have taken it over.
Another stimulus check. Great idea.
The CEO of ExxonMobil told FJB what the federal government could to to help the situation. I don’t expect this criminal regime to implement one of the suggestions. They don’t want to fix it, only a scapegoat to blame.
Another brilliant idea from the communists illegally occupying the Oval.
Biden as President is just as happy as a monkey with a lifetime supply of bananas. If he were removed as President do you really think anything would change? Biden just gives us someone to point at, make fun of, to hate, to blame. The same people who failed to put Hillary in the number one spot, learned from their mistakes. Biden is a buffoon, but he serves their purpose. I guess making fun of Biden keeps us united, but I think we should be focusing our anger on who is telling him what to do.
Oh, I hate him, too. WEF Dr. Evil and his Israeli Mini-Me, Yuvah-yuvah Jaelson Noachideisme, or something.
Sure glad you didn’t say Obama . Whew !
Waiting for the hot dog, ice cream, pasta, steak, peanut butter card. So many ways to brand it.
Like “a chicken in every pot,” we should all get our own Gas Station. Go big or go home Joe!
I want my taxpayer funded gas card to only purchase gas MADE IN THE USA and funded by money owned by the USA.
As in, I do not want a Chinese, or any other foreign nation, used to fund my taxpayer funded gas card via a loan to the USA.
And just think, we still have to pay back the loans on the U.S. Strategic Oil Reserves we already bought that he is now ALLEGEDLY doling back out to us at 1 million barrels per day, PLUS we have to repay the reserves eventually at a much higher price per barrel on yet another loan from China.
What happened to his MADE IN THE USA promises?
Panda must be smiling YUGE!
I have a better solution. Drill baby drill. Oh and don’t cancel the pipelines, issue more leases, and get out of the way.
If the fedgov leases a prospect, how in the Sam Hill can they not be FORCED to issue a drilling permit concomitantly with the lease? A lease is useless without a drilling permit.
BINGO! They have approved leases, but then their dirty soldiers withold the permits on purpose.
Clueless. Wealth transfer doesn’t slow inflation.
Desperate measures for desperate times………. if your Biden or a lefty.
I’m afraid it is only the beginning until someone(s) who is a “responsible adult(s)” say enough is enough and boot this clown administration before they destroy everything that once MAG!
Those darned chip supply chain snags prevented Joe from acting sooner, you see.
Biden is striving to replace the R word with his name. I assume Imbecile and Moron are still acceptable.
REad that bc of the chip shortage, they can’t implement their gas card giveaway.
Why would only drivers get them? Do they think that if you don’t drive you don’t pay for it? We all pay for it.
One CANNOT fix stupid when stupid is doing stupid things!!!
Can’t make this up…pretty soon it is going to become VERY evident that Xiden is NOT ALL THERE and this is going to get worse…His Alzheimer’s is getting worse and the gaffes are going to multiply…going to suck to be the dem party of Harris…OUCH!!!
Trust Socialist borrowing from public debt to entice the populace to the economic point of no return would be deserved of complacent citizens.
And let me guess who would get the cards. This is and has been a willful agenda to destroy this country, economically, militarily, morally and otherwise. The SOB’s should face charges of treason and shot point blank in the public square and their heads mounted on poles and their carcasses fed to the vultures!
‘Biden aides have also looked in recent days at invoking the Defense Production Act to move diesel and other refined products should localized shortages materialize, two people familiar with the matter said.’
Central control we have liftoff !
In this grand Communist Utopia, “no one works, except in State-Owned Jobs in State-Owned Companies and this is now the minority.”
For the most part, “no one works.” They simply wait for the Government Checks to arrive.” Meanwhile, those Government Checks are paid for by Magickal Government ‘Borrowing’ against “the Full Faith and Credit of the United States.™” Which every other nation on this planet is of course required to blindly accept, “because we are Exceptional!”
The tick-tock-tick is growing ever louder around these people’s continuous fantasies … both about “how the world works” and how they will actually be able to “simply destroy the United States.” And the most grimly-comical thing about it all is that they just don’t see it. Whenever handwriting appears on some wall they simply paint over it.
These people launched a massive “psy-ops campaign” against their own home country. But, since then, they have come to believe it themselves. This will prove to be a possibly-literally fatal mistake.
How about passing out some of the $100 BILLION+ being sent to a certain smaller country that’s next to a larger country…or just allow drilling and producing oil/gas in the US again.
Monkeys are in charge. Folks Circle the square. A nation doesn’t go from world number one energy producer to not producing.
This administration is killing our country, destroying our wealth.
We need to end this…soon
I’d sure like to have a copy of that graph with Jan. – Jun of 2022. I’ll need a much taller computer screen though ….
By many “on the ground” reports from people associated with the endeavor, the U.S. Government has been stocking up, quietly, behind the scenes, while telling all of us that things are well. The purpose of that is to make sure they can ration food (and gas) to the compliant.
It’s being said the gas card thing might not fly because there is a shortage of chips and also afraid people will use them for other things and not Gas. what about people that don’t drive? do they get the gas card also/ And who determines how much and where it is spent?
Oh and Pete Butt guy told airlines to get their act together!
