BIDENFLATION HAS DESTROYIED OUR ECONOMY IN 1 YEAR AND HAS STRENGTHEN FOREIGN POWERS LIKE RUSSIA AND CHINA. IMAGINE WHAT THE NEXT 3 YEARS WILL DO!

Max

It's going to get worse. Joe Biden and Hunter, just lost all of their bribe money, from the Ukraine

Max

29% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction. Dementia is at an all time high. There has been absolutely nothing, that has improved, since Biden took office. Now he is trying to get us into war, with both China and Russia, to draw attention away from his stupidity.

The energy prices are affecting everything. That includes food, housing, clothing, etc.. It also is causing massive inflation. Thanks to Biden and his administration, Go away Brandon.

Experts say prices can go higher, and a Russian invasion of Ukraine might push them there.

Yes, because high gas prices have raised the cost of everything we use. That, coupled with Brandon's high inflation, we all are suffering. The sad thing is, the lower income, and those on fixed incomes, are suffering the most.

Belinda Kitchen

Yes it's crazy . Here in Moberly gas is 3.11$ to 3.14$ a gallon. In Macon it 3.07$ . Our gas wasn't this high when Trump was in office. Biden you made this a lot worse and here you say your helping the people How ? May I ask ?

Max

Biden and his followers, are shoving communism down our throats, so we can all be equal, equally poor, except for him and his Elites, that is. He has sold America, to China and Russia.

Kevin Davis

I farm everything we use this year has gone up. Fuel actually is one of the lowest increases. Anhydrous ammonia has more than tripled dry fertilizer has doubled chemicals are much higher also. Dont hear about that any where

While gas prices are high, they certainly are not as high as they have been before when we were paying almost $5.00 a gallon.

Max

RBOB Gas, stock market price of wholesale gasoline. It can be looked at, as far back as July 2005. We were energy independent when Trump left office, and wholesale gasoline was less than half of what it is now.

Max

That was between 2008 through 2014, during the Obama reign. During Trump's four years it was never as high as it is now. Thank you for pointing that out. Let's go Brandon!

Jumped quite a bit due to the colder weather! Highest bill ever so far!

Sherry Scott Schafer

It increased because we had severely cold weather for a week.

Max

Yes it did, because we used more energy in the colder weather. That is not to difficult to understand, if you put your mind to it.

The large increases have not been universal -- some have reported bills that were only slightly higher than usual.
