That does not have to be fact checked

Well "to be fair", you should have mentioned Trump wanted to do it to bail out the oil companies and also that the Republican controlled the Senate and that it really wasn''t a great idea during Covid. You know "to be fair" But like my post you quoted, both were factual. . I’m just learning how to play the game so I can hang with you and tarp.😊 You have a long way to go before you can snatch the pebble, grasshopper.

I will agree with that, bidenomics is nonsense. I saw a poll today stating only 19% believe Biden is doing a good job on the economy. No help required from sheep who believe the lefts failed policies. The lefts "failed policies" brought this nation back from the brink of total financial collapse during the great recession. The worst downturn of our economy since the great depression. But that was then and this is now right?? History has a way of repeating itself, and even though all the financial pundits on the right have us looking at a gloom and doom near future it seems that we keep out performing the economic stress test the media seems so eager to promote. Did you remember to thank Bahney Fwank for causing the problem? Or, maybe you thanked this buddy Dodd instead? How can one honestly claim they saved someone from something they themselves caused? That thinking seems a bit backwards to me.

Why waste your time trying to point out these types of common sense things to people who don’t want to acknowledge them. It’s plain that they have their marching orders and they don’t want to step out of line.

"A fact" and "fair" is not the same, and you chose your Trumpcomlishment favoring the former at the expense of the latter.
Your response was biased and unfair. Cad's was objective and fair.
You can't hang with Cad and I, but that doesn't mean I don't love you too.
actually, you and Cad would probably be boring at the tiki bar. I’ll just hang with TRT. That is the truth.

I know I would enjoy it.
Objectivity! Good one!🤣 You’ve got an objective alright but one could hardly say you actually are objective (at least not with a straight face😉). Cad’s posts show way more objectivity than yours. You rate right there with the rest of us around here on that count. If you have any hope of ever catching up to Cad on objectivity, you sure do have your work cut out for you!

You really shouldn't get old stories and rely on old data. Also refining capacity is the maximum capability and not the maximum produced for a given time period. Refineries never operate at 100%. For June 2023 Refinery capacity is back up to 18.2 million barrels a day and refineries are operating at 93% utilization rate. Back in 2020 the utilization rate was in the 70% to 80% range due to decreased demand and the oil companies shut down refineries. A few went bankrupt. Economically, it is not profitable for the oil companies to bring these refineries back online due to the cost involved and return on investment. it is more profitable to keep them closed and prices up. The Biden administration and the oil companies have been fighting this for the last year. Biden ewants the refineries back online and the oil companies refuse to spend the money. Chevron made $11 billion in second qtr 2022 and $6 billion in 2nd qtr 2023 thanks to high gas prices. Why spend a few hundred million on a refinery and watch those profits decrease a few billion more? Regulations do play a part in the issue, it is simply a return on the money spent that is keeping oil companies from investing in oil refining. Why spend $100 million to drive prices down and make less profit on more work? Here is current EIA data. www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pnp_unc_dcu_nus_m.htm

Don't tell me what I " shouldn't do " . If you want to talk about a different period, have at it . You offered nothing contrary to what I posted ,but your post comes across as you are disagreeing with something I said. You can make a comment without quoting me when you have something different to add. Tell BT I said Hi.

He is the official forum goal post mover... tarp is a close second.

The unemployment rate rose by 0.3 percentage point to 3.8 percent in August, and the number of unemployed persons increased by 514,000 to 6.4 million. Both measures are little different from a year earlier, when the unemployment rate was 3.7 percent and the number of unemployed persons was 6.0 million.
