At the end of March 2022, Biden proposed a $5.8 trillion budget, and last week the Biden administration announced they had canceled three oil and gas leases, including a mammoth one in Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, noting the record-high gas prices plaguing the nation, said on Sunday, \u201cPeople are getting actually hammered with gas prices and the overall inflation is attributable more than anything to Biden\u2019s policy of printing trillions and trillions of dollars like they\u00a0have done\u00a0since he has gotten into office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis responded to Fox News host Dan Bongino, who pointed out, \u201cWe\u2019re seeing record gas prices, people are really struggling. We have a lot of people in Florida who are on fixed incomes down here. And yet this week we learned they canceled oil and gas leases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last Wednesday, Biden\u2019s Department of the Interior <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/while-gas-hits-record-high-biden-administration-cancels-enormous-alaska-oil-and-gas-lease-sale\/\">killed<\/a> the potential to drill for oil in over 1 million acres in the Cook Inlet in Alaska, informing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/alaska-oil-and-gas-lease-sale-canceled-biden-administration\/\">CBS News<\/a>\u00a0that the cancellation stemmed from a \u201clack of industry interest in leasing in the area\u201d for the decision to \u201cnot move forward.\u201d The DOI killed two leases under consideration in the Gulf of Mexico area because of \u201cconflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, Dan, the energy policy is intentional,\u201d DeSantis charged. \u201cThey are intentionally reducing our ability to produce oil and gas here in the United States. They will beg OPEC for more oil, they\u2019ll beg Maduro for more oil. I guess Maduro\u2019s oil isn\u2019t global warming but American is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean it is nonsense; it is ideology but it is very destructive,\u201d he continued. \u201cPeople are getting actually hammered with gas prices and the overall inflation is attributable more than anything to Biden\u2019s policy of printing trillions and trillions of dollars like they\u00a0have done\u00a0since he has gotten into office. \u2026 He was warned by Larry Summers and other Democratic economists that if you do this, you are gonna\u00a0spark inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Summers, who served as Secretary of the Treasury under former President Bill Clinton,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/05\/26\/economy\/inflation-larry-summers-biden-fed\/index.html\">warned<\/a> Biden in May 2021 about massive spending, saying, \u201cThe sense of serenity and complacency being projected by the economic policymakers, that this is all something that can easily be managed, is misplaced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s a tax, Dan, on every single American,\u201d DeSantis declared of the massive inflation under Biden. \u201cWe\u2019ve got people that may be making seven, eight percent more year-over-year, but if the costs of everything to live are up 15 to 20 percent, and they are, the inflation is understating it when you look at the things that really matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think it\u2019s been absolutely a failure in policy, and here\u2019s the thing: Reverse course,\u201d DeSantis asserted. \u201cStart producing more energy here in the United States. He could very easily do that, but yet what does he do, as you just pointed out? They are still canceling oil and gas leases. They don\u2019t want us to be energy independent, and they don\u2019t care if you suffer at the pump.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis bashed President Biden\u00a0for his economic policies and said that Biden disdained American energy independence.In 2021, Biden pushed for and got a huge $1.9 trillion\u00a0coronavirus relief<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":1483174,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1476419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1476419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/60"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1476419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1476419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1483174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1476419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1476419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1476419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
