Some are pushing for the U.S. and European Union to ban imports of oil from Russia to punish the country for its invasion of Ukraine.

WE have our own wells- Let's get them open!!!

Belinda Kitchen

Because why should we help the Russians in any way. After all the caused this war . Biden needs to open up our pipelines here in the US!!!!

Max

It is the common sense answer, and the humanity based answer. Joe won't do it though. He stands to lose to much personal income.

Mae Paulo

We only bring in 3% of our fuel from Russia. The gas price hike is not because of the lies politicians are pushing.

Ban taxes and public schools.

So far the U.S. and EU have resisted such a ban, worrying it would drive up consumer prices too much.

We need to force oil prices upwards in order to unite behind the president's plan to ensure we all must purchase $60,000.00 electric vehicles, preferably non-American made,

Max

Joe would demand we buy them from his blood brother, and joint businessman Xi Jinping. That way Joe gets his 10%.

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Max

So, you support Iran? Well, I support America.

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Max

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

Far bigger issues than fuel prices

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Fred

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.
