Gas prices are falling, but does the White House deserve credit?

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel The Whitehouse sure as hell got blamed for it... so they certainly should get credit for what they were able to do.
..."DOMONOSKE: Yeah, that's a really interesting question right now in particular. I mean, obviously, there are some governments that always own oil development in their country and just set prices - I mean, Iran or Venezuela. But if you look at some countries that have energy markets much more like in the U.S., countries in Europe, right now, they're trying something unusual. Because prices have gone haywire and they're worried about supply, they're looking at windfall taxes and rebates and price caps - all these attempts to change prices really directly.

CHANG: And how is that working out?

DOMONOSKE: Well, it's way too early to say. But the point is that for now in the U.S., that approach is not on the table politically speaking. Folks in D.C. just don't have a ton of tools to move gas prices around, even if voters act like they control them."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel good day Brother William, always informational and of the most interesting. Thanks for sharing, have a blessed day!
