Joe Biden’s economic policies, mainly driven by excessive spending and the Green New Deal climate change agenda, are the origins of massive inflation.
In an attempt to diminish the outcomes of his energy policy, the Biden administration has been releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, in an effort to curb gasoline prices. However, that process is about to end as the SPR is becoming dangerously low and will need to be replaced (more spending).
When asked about the current status of inflation during a CBS interview, Biden responds by saying it could be worse, citing the last two months where the SPR spigot has been running at maximum release. WATCH (48 seconds):

Joe says things could be worse, and he will figure out a way to get there.
Yes, they will make things exponentially worse.
Amazing to me, although a prepared response to the inflation question, El presidente’ had the ability to answer.
Glad he revealed just how callous he truly is.
Thanks to Republicans who say one thing to VOTERS and do another thing UNDER THE TABLE!
I hear, reliably, that Not a SINGLE person in EITHER HOUSE of Congress has a Valid election win to back up their place in Either the House or Senate in Congress at this Time.
I believe it. I’ve seen “the best” of them go swishy at the most bizarre times.
There is NOT ONE I’d bet my life on, Most Especially my two TEXAS Senators! And the Texas Texas Senator is as bad as the CANADIAN “Texas” Senator. Yes, they are INVALID, of that I have NO DOUBT. SOLD OUT! To the Most LOW DOWN DIRTY bidder for them.
Im in Idaho.the redoubt. my senators suck. they are POS parasitic Mc CONnell butt boys.
By eliminating all Dems, we isolate the RINOS from their pay-to-play buddies. Also, MAGA freshmen entering both houses will further isolate RINOS.
It goes without saying that voting out RINOS so we can seat DEMS in their place, makes no sense at all, I’m sure we all agree!
No, we can NOT “all agree”; there is a significant faction in the House, that believes continueing to vote Rinos into office, and expecting a different result, is a pretty good definition of insanity.
I will ONLY vote for America First MAGA Candidates, and will NEVER cast my vote for a mainstream Republican, again.
That, I suspect is the plan. Ultimately, we will be starved into submission, likely trading in non-EV cars for debit cards for food. Same with guns and anything else they don’t want you to have. See what farmers in Canada, The Netherlands, Sri Lanka, Poland and others have been ordered to do. Food will be in VERY short supply per govt controls in the name of Global Warming…
Then stock up on food & water. Medicines and fuel. As best you can
if you got the land, grow it. Pumpkin and sweet potatoes are a super food.
Most climates in the US can handle potatoes of any kind. We grow 100s of lbs without even trying hard. There are many ways to store potatoes when the ground starts freezing.
We’ve been spared #MeanTweets, so have that going for us …
I’m so beyond sick of this fool.
Also, two consecutive quarters of negative GDP isn’t necessarily a recession according to Cadaver Joe and his cabinet of commie clowns.
The Marxist Media plays the equivalent of Tee Ball with him, and he still manages to strike out at every at bat.
Our country suffers everyday with this Moron. Behavior so un-American. My heart breaks to watch these pretenders gutting our country and our people.
So inflation is measured in inches now? Huh.
He’ll have us transitioning to meters in no time.
Next month it’ll be a foot long.
What would be worse is FJB sending the middle class’ sons and daughters to the beaches of Taiwan to fight another meaningless war.
Probably after the Strategic Oil Reserve is emptied and all military ordnance is exhausted and/or given away. In the dead of winter no less.
Surely would hope not, but with the depths of depravity these sorts exude I cannot discount it.
Either someone in the current administration is getting some really bad intel, or, they intentionally want to get the US involved in another meaningless war.
A large section of Taiwan’s population identify as Chinese first, Taiwanese second. I know this because I dated a Chinese lady, from Taiwan for 9 years, before I was married. This really isn’t even news. They’re going to run into the same situation as they did in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, how do you tell friend from foe ?
Same situation with Singapore ( 75% Chinese ), who we send f-15’s to. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if China knows every inch of US military hardware sent to both those countries and have prepared accordingly.
That is not a conflict I would want anyone I loved involved in.
Since when do we wage wars to win? For my entire life it’s been a meat grinder to enrich the MIC.
Scuttlebutt is they’re sending more Navy and Air Force to the Pac. All my people got out though so that comes to me secondhand. Deployments are scheduled for the first week of October.
I can see where interviewing Biden with “social distancing” pays off, it keeps him out of one’s face when he gets excited.
Talk about tone deaf and out of touch. I guess we could be like this guy

Putin recently reaffirmed his willingness to deliver via Nordstream2.
Germany is willfully pulling all Europe down with itself, against the will of its people.
Michael Yon says the Ragnarok mythos is strong in the German psyche and they episodically burn it all down. Having more than my share of unfortunate experience with their psyche, I can’t discount his thesis.
In this week’s episode of “To Hell With the Plebes”…
“If I give the promise to people in Ukraine – ‘We stand with you, as long as you need us’ – then I want to deliver. No matter what my German voters think, but I want to deliver to the people of Ukraine. We are facing now wintertime, when we will be challenged as democratic politicians. People will go in the street and say ‘We cannot pay our energy prices’. And I will say ‘Yes I know, so we help you with social measures.’ But I don’t want to say ‘Ok then we stop the sanctions against Russia.’ We will stand with Ukraine, and this means the sanctions will stay also in wintertime, even if it gets really tough for politicians.”
https://summit.news/2022/09/01/german-foreign-minister-says-support-for-ukraine-will-continue-no-matter-what-voters-think/
Let them eat, and burn, social measures.
Ja, she’s a beauty that one.
So, not wanting to freeze this winter is a “social measure”.
Idiots.
It’s a real war, and Germany is in balls deep.
This is what politicians say when they are promoting
a war, and making their constituents pay for it.
Here WE are, 10,000 miles from it.
Imagine being the German public, and being
subjected to such war propaganda noise.
But the sanctions aren’t having the desired effect, idiot.
Orban of Hungary touched on it, Sanctions enable a powerful group of countries to bully individual weaker ones.
But this time, they screwed up, big time. Russia has the energy, EU NEEDS the energy, hence its the weak trying to use sanctions against the powerful.
Before you even get into whether the cause is just, he’s demanding and committing his people to suffer when its having no measurable effect.
I wonder if any EU Govt will survive one winter of this foolishness, intact?
I would say for the Germans it would be the Goetterdammerung (Twilight of the Gods) Teutonic mythos, Ragnarok is from Norse/Viking mythology although the mythologies do have some commonalities.
Michael Yon is over there now, says that Germany is destroying itself and frequently references that very mythos as a part of the German psyche, helping to explain their episodic murder/suicide fits.
There is one in Hanover that makes the one you mentioned look like pocket change…€1.1 million.
😬
Yes, things could be worse.
We could have an actual Mad Hatter rather than a second rate copy.
We seem to have the entire Wonderland cast sans Alice.
That’s like the fully boosted suddenly dying.
“It would have been worse if they weren’t vaccinated.”
Akshoowallee, there might be some truth to that.
It had recently been asserted that unvaxxed folk with the coof were immediately treated to the full death protocol…
Yep, a twisted version of the truth.
He’s an idiot; feeble minded and manipulated.
Yeah, it could get worse- like it could be Germany. Which is obviously his goal.
We are rapidly approaching a “Justice System” roughly equal to that of Nazi Germany.
Seems to be the ABETTING GOAL of too many MILLIONS of American Citizens, as well.
It’s getting WAY BEYOND “OLD”, now!
Nothing is ever so bad so as it could never be worse. (Who I quoted, I apologize and admit this isn’t my saying).
Hmmm.
I guess he is kinda correct; it could have been Hillary.
But, not sure there is much difference,
isn’t evil between them the same?
Odd, fact checks which used to be soooooo popular when DJT was president, have seemed to just disappear. On a more positive note, I recently started a new part time security job(just walk around an outdoor upscale mall) and of course was warned about talking politics with customers. After listening in on some conversations and feeling comfortable to join in, I have found that MANY people are very disgusted with our current leadership and direction. Of course this is occurring in Naples, fl. , but still surprisingly encouraging. Pray and pray more.
I tried to break my comments into paragraphs. When I posted message it eliminated them. Where did I go wrong?
As Sundance noted, some devices do that and it’s needful to hit the paragraph spacer a couple times or so.
Ty.
The return has to be hit two times for every paragraph break.
In the Eyes of TOLERANT REPUBLICANS, “What Difference Does It Make”????
The strategic reserves have not been released they have been sold on the open market to China.
The “Republicans” should also put that on their list of things to investigate and see where exactly the money went to from the sale and all the receipts
Hunter the Burisma energy wizard
You spelled “lizard” incorrectly.
Mitch got his cut, so its covered.
well…..at last count 7M barrels of the SPR that had been withdrawn had been sold to PRC….a good deal has also been sold to the EU countries
As interpreted by me…
Stop yer bawlin’ or I’ll give you something to REALLY cry about.
I’m not sure running the spigot had anything to do with a drop in oil prices. It was all optics. At the drawdown rate it was less than 1% of daily global usage. And much lot of it got exported. It was purely a shameless political move.
Of course.
Mostly it was folks not driving much any more, as Sundance has noted frequently
“What, me worry”
He is so far gone that he wouldn’t know what to worry about.
[Any question on economic conditions from the press to Trump].
Trump, “Things could be worse.”
Said never by the president who presided over the strongest economy since 1969.
Ever.
The only thing that will change this trajectory is a Republican take over in November and praying that MAGA candidates all win.
The moronic illegitimate white house occupier and his puppet masters, are solely responsible for destroying a once vibrant economy.
Joe Biden – Resident Plagiarist of the United State’s SOLUTION TO ALL CANCERS, “It could be alot worse!”
Also his solution to the current high Gas Prices we are facing, “It could be alot worse!”
Payment for his wisdom, “10% off the top”
The other day I impulse bought 2 organic sweet potatoes and 2 organic peaches. Total price for the 4 items $5.89.
There is no more to say except I won’t do that again.
Things are worse. Gas up 14 cents in two weeks here in Las Vegas.
And to think I despised Jimmy!! HDe was a good president in comparison.
How can anybody possibly be dumb enough to believe him? Frankly, knowing that there are millions of people who do believe him scares me more than anything
I don’t think it matters any more whether anyone believes him. The people who are in places of authority and running the country are just going to keep doing what they’re doing. Believability is no longer a thing with them.
That is a statement of his intent, I would say.
He makes me sick!
Imagine a person who learned when he was a kid how easy it was for him to lie. Imagine how that kid grew up learning what lying could do for him, what he could get away with, how and when should lie, etc.
Now imagine that person being elevated to the president of the USA. When he claims he is not lying he has years of experience learning how to tell lies and how to get away with lying, meaning he is immune to be challenged about his words, his statements and his outright lies.
Next question: If the people he has worked with for years, decades, know he is a practiced liar…what does that say about them, especially when questioned if Biden’s words are lies? Why would they shield him, protect him and deflect from him over his lies? What is in it for them? How do they profit over his lies? Why do they profit over his lies?
Starting to get the big picture as to how Joe Biden knows his lies work?
OH, and lest we forget: Who likes being lied to? Why do those people like it?
The Truman Show. Lies are easier than reality for the feeble minded.
Who is a man before that for which he is now known?
He is so out of touch with ordinary life. He’s never worried about a grocery bill and has no idea what things cost. He’s never worried about filling his gas tank or buying school clothes and shoes.
Nobody should become president who hasn’t lived as an ordinary human being. That is the trouble with Congress and the bureaucracy.
President Trump did fine but he knew ordinary people from his construction company days.
Joe Antoinette: Let them eat cake.
Well, there is the long -forgotten joke about Joey Two Scoops from his U.S. Senate days: When it is time for Biden to purchase new shoes, why does he only buy one? Becaause he always has one of his feet in his mouth.
This man is a Moron!
MNN Breaking…
Biden Vows Next Bribes He Accepts Will Come From a Chinese Woman of Color
Manufactured News Network: “Occupied America’s Most Trusted News Source!”
The SPR was designed when the country could not procure crude oil. It was not designed for self inflicted/ poor policy decisions OR sale to China. Releasing crude to drive prices down for the short term is asanine.
it is designed as a reserve for military needs in wartime or under severe restrictions….that is why it is called the STRATEGIC Petroleum Reserve
“Could be” = “will get” worse.
He’ll get right on it!
I think house republicans are scared that if they get power they will have to impeach Brandon, which is what their constituents want.
Big talk, no action. For the most part they are cowards afraid of political correctness and McCarthy is no leader. McCarthy has already dissed Trump and got away with it.
When we get the house back I hope there is a challenge to McCarthy by a freedom caucus member. Still amazes me that house repubs have a freedom caucus. Are the rest of the house repubs against freedom? They all need to be America First FREEDOM caucus members.
Jim Jordan.
Wrong chamber, Jim Jordan is in the Senate, NOT the House.🤔
You mean Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio??
Retired Magistrate here: Jim Jordon is in the House of Representatives and has served his district in Ohio admirably since 2007.
Impeaching him won’t help. He needs to be impeached and convicted–hence, removed.
Impeaching does not remove him from office.
Since President Trump was impeached twice and Billy Bob Pickup Truck Clinton was impeached……
You are correct, and after what it would do to the country, to impeach and convict,….oh, boy!
We get Karmala, with the same people pulling her strings, that are currently pulling Joes.
I can think of more productive ways for Congress to spend its time, than impeaching Joe.
Its like some people you hang, some you just put a bullet in their brain, cause their not worth the trouble of a rope.
Joes a bullet in the brain kinda guy, not worth the trouble to impeach.
His word as a Biden.
Fool’s Gold at best.
That one just floors me.
“Biden responds by saying it could be worse, citing the last two months where the SPR spigot has been running at maximum release.”
And whether we want to or not, we will find out when Grandma is freezing this winter because she can’t afford the cost to heat her home.
This Potato would say, “well, Grandma should be in a nursing home anyway”, without a hint of irony.
Be sure to remind your co-workers, neighbors and associations that they voted for this…
The leftists I talk to are doubling down on this stupidity
Yes they are. Had someone say to me that President Trump was the most divisive president ever. I was speechless
Conservativeinny ,
🤯 SMH
I’ve had Scary People say things like that to me , too .
I always wonder if we are on the Same Planet , sheesh !
I had a liberal-hating, Biden-hating, Fox-news-watching friend tell me that she hopes Ron DeSantis wins the republican nomination for president because DJT is too controversial and divisive. She does not understand that DJT is not the divisive one. It is everyone who wants to destroy him and MAGA that are the divisive ones. All they have to do is dummy up and accept the election results.
paraphrasing Forrest Gump “Stupid is as stupid does.”
And they will be as long as he and his ilk are in charge (although I don’t hold out much hope no matter which party is in charge).
When I watch Joe I am sure things could not be worse.
How about—Things could be a lot better….
Democrats and the Looney Liberals seem to only be able to think negative.
It’s like there is a –Race to the Bottom for them.
I don’t want to hear how it could be worse….
I want to hear ..and see..it get better.
He can spew all the lies he wants and continue the gaslighting, but Americans feel inflation in every aspect of their lives. Good luck convincing them climate change is causing inflation, too!
(S)elect a 🤡 , get the 🎪 .
So, essentially…
The installed imbecile and his junta handlers are not interested in fixing a damn thing.
Never were.
Never will.
Their only purpose is to subjugate YOU, peasant ..
Biden just oozes dishonesty. What a liar. Jimmy Carter was incompetent but Biden is destroying the economy intentionally.
Things will get worse. And worse. And worse. All intentional. You know, Great Reset and all.
I heard that when FJB agreed to be on the show he asked how long it was.
Biggest ass puppet in American history. See how happy is my mental state Joe. I’m praising your reign.
Notice how angry Jobama gets when challenged? I am shocked that Scott would challenge him, actually. Maybe the bloom is off the rose with these brain dead libs, finally….Joe is clearly clueless.
“People don’t know how to be happy after COVID” – Joe Biden’s Writers
I can’t wait for the uncut 60 Minutes to be release
Let’s go Brandon.
Nobody actually cares what the Vegetable thinks. No countries take him seriously. He’s an illegitimate usurper and a criminal who would not be in office if the government hadn’t rigged the election.
“Inflations only up an inch!”
While I know we celebrated SCOTUS decision on abortion, they are responsible for this crap because they refused to hear the case. When a pedo grifting asshole and his son use his position to sell out our country and actively steal an election they had no chance of winning does what he has, it should not be surprising to anyone. Trump told and warned America. We knew because we had listened. Now we all get to suffer.
a case that was TAILOR made for SCOTUS and has no other venue as per the US Constitution….there simply is no other court with jurisdiction for disputes between states….how can you argue you are NOT disenfranchising the citizens of one state by unconstitutionally changing the way you elect POTUS in your state outside the bounds of the US Constitution
