(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) While Americans struggle to pay record-breaking prices for gas every day, President Joe Biden declared Monday their financial pain was all part of the plan.
“When it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place,” Biden said during a joint press conference in Tokyo with Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, according to Breitbart.
“… God willing… we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” he added.
Despite his insinuation that the price hikes may have been part of an intentional scheme to force more reliance on electric vehicles, Biden claimed, without evidence, that his administration had succeed in preventing prices “from getting worse,” before adding, “And it’s bad,” reported the New York Post.
Later, he admitted that the high gas prices negatively affected American families.
“The price of gas at the pump is something that I told you—you heard me say before—it would be a matter of great discussion at my kitchen table when I was a kid growing up. It’s affecting a lot of families,” Biden said.
As of Wednesday, the national average gas price was $4.599, according to AAA, and California haf the highest average when compared to other states: $6.066.
At the same time, the cost of diesel fuel is even worse than regular gas. Farmers, truckers and other people who rely on diesel to supply Americans with products will need to pay 75% more than they did the last year, Breitbart reported.
