INFLATION: Do the obvious, Joe

This nation is in a sorry state due to the disastrous policies of the administration currently in power. There are so many issues I could write about, but let me hone in on just one — inflation.

Rising gas prices affects the availability or price of almost every product or service in one way or another. Joe Biden is so busy pointing his finger at others for this, and ignoring the obvious solution that is right in front of his face. Opening up our own oil pipelines instead of depending on and begging other nations, especially Russia, is a no-brainer.

Every single one of our leaders, Democrats and Republicans, should be shouting this at the top of their lungs! And a few of them are, but we need every voice to be heard. So what can the people do, the deplorable, unwashed, Walmart shoppers? We can vote!

We need to get rid of those politicians who just “go along to get along.” Why should we continue to reward leaders who offer no real solutions?
