Obama Wanted $8 Per Gallon Gas

Posted on January 21, 2015 by stevengoddard

Last night, Obama took credit for low gas prices, which are helping families.

And thanks to lower gas prices and higher fuel standards, the typical family this year should save $750 at the pump.

But he tried to raise gas prices to $8 per gallon. He simply failed at his effort to screw the middle class and poor.

TESTIFYING BEFORE the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week, Energy Secretary Steven Chu was asked about something he said in September. “Somehow,” the Nobel laureate had told The Wall Street Journal, “we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” At the time, gasoline in Europe was going for around $8 a gallon.

He also wanted to make electricity prices skyrocket, and has had more success in that area.
