    Domestic oil drilling makes us more energy independent, which means other countries have less leverage to push their interests on the US. Correctly 4% of Americans own electric cars. It’s going to take a LONG time to change that and until then we need oil. Biden is taking steps to encourage the US to move away from gas cars. The plan included huge investments for solar, wind, and for building a nationwide electric charging grid.

    Inflation is down so prices are not rising anymore. People seem to have the unrealistic expectation that prices are somehow going to go back to what they were before COVID.

    Unemployment is below 3% in a record number of states and the national unemployment level is below 4% for the longest period in 50 years. 13.2 million jobs have been added. Sure, things could be better, but don’t forget how much worse off we started.
