It's going to be 2 years of this: "House passes bill, no one cares."
Which Econ major flunk out wrote this bill? China doesn’t get a discount on the oil, they pay market price. Joe turned a profit on the sale. >

The mistake you are making is assuming the purpose of the bill is to benefit the US. >

It's just silly performative legislation. It sounds like House Republicans are trying to spin low gas prices as a bad thing they can blame Biden for, and in their contortions they've collectively shoved their head up their own ass. >


The House passed the bill Thursday on a broadly bipartisan vote of 331-97

Not bipartisan theatre, may have some merit >

It's literal theater. The strategic reserves are the one valve Biden can personally turn to impact gas prices. They release them to temporarily increase supply. The supply increase world wide creates a small surge of availability which drives down the overall price. This lowers oil prices.
