Additionally, low and stable energy prices are necessary for a robust economy with full employment. If businesses aren't opening and expanding, jobs just won't be available, and considering that we've literally thrown open the border and are importing literally MILLIONS of illegal aliens every year now, who also might need jobs other than crime, well, I just wonder how this is all supposed to work out.
The energy projects the Biden regime has quashed, like offshore drilling, ANWR drilling, and drilling on federal lands, will have long term deleterious effects on the US, and not just because of higher fuel prices. It hurts our security and stature in the world.
Russia gets to sell their gas to Germany, while we have to import fuel from countries that hate us AND we pay to protect Germany from Russia. Compare and contrast with Trump's all of the above energy policy that made the US an energy EXPORTER, for the first time in 70 years.
Under Trump, the US was inking deals to sell US natural gas to our European allies. Under Biden, we probably won't be able to fulfill those contracts because drilling has been hampered.
This is bad for our national debt, bad for jobs, bad for inflation....it's really only good for foreign countries that hate America.

Ya, so if Trump wasn't such a douche bag, he might still be president.
In reality, he is a total couch bag, lost the election, and is no longer the president.
Your dreams mean nothing at this point.
Btw, Exactly what signed energy deals are you talking about ?
