Biden’s Record-Breaking Week: Gas Prices Reach Historic Highs Seven Days in a Row

May 17, 2022

Today, the energy failures of the Biden administration are on full display as gas prices have reached all-time highs for the seventh consecutive day. According to AAA, the current national average price for a gallon of regular gas is $4.52. Gas is now over $4.00 in 47 states. Today’s record price marks an increase of more than 10 percent in just the last month and 48 percent over the past year. 

“The Biden Green Tax is delivering a record of failure unmatched in American history,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “By any objective measure, it’s clear President Biden’s attempts to lower gas prices have failed except for the one solution he completely ignores: regaining American energy independence. This new record will mean nothing in Washington where the Biden administration will continue to talk out of both sides of their mouth, but it will continue to cripple family budgets of Americans who are paying the real costs. Joe Biden is leading us straight into an energy dark age with a stunning combination of ineptitude and indifference.”

As gas prices continue to reach staggering highs, there is no relief in sight for struggling families. The Biden administration has no answers and instead continues to enforce punishing policies that only worsen the problem. Biden’s record-breaking week will be one to forget for the American people.
