Biden slams oil companies for not doing what he promised as a candidate to stop them from doing

The Biden administration is desperate for somebody to blame for gas prices setting record highs all around the country. During his west coast trip, Biden has again attempted to brand spiking gas prices and inflation as “Putin’s price hikes,” and some blame was also reserved for oil companies.

Unfortunately the rest of us also got what they voted for.
