Biden and Gas Prices
Eakinomics: Biden and Gas Prices
Gasoline prices have become a major source of economic pain for Americans and
political pain for the Biden Administration. Not surprisingly, this has spurred
the White House to be busy, busy, busy trying to turn down the political heat.
(See the chart below.)
The fun began May 28 of last year, when according
to the White House gas prices had reached the “pain point” – roughly $3.00 per
gallon – and Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced that the president was opposed
to any increase in the federal gas tax.
Gas prices kept rising.
On November 17, the president sent a letter
to the Federal Trade Commission asking it to examine whether oil and gas
companies were illegally keeping gas prices high.
Gas prices kept rising.
Less than a week later (November 23), the president announced
a 50-million-barrel release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Sorta.
It was actually an “exchange” of 32 million barrels and an acceleration of the
sale of 18 million barrels that had been used to pay for a piece of 2018
legislation. No real new supply.
Gas prices kept rising.
This year political pressure to address gas prices increased, and on March 1,
2022, the administration announced
an SPR sale of 30 million barrels as part of a coordinated international
release.
Gas prices kept rising.
By the end of the month, the heat was really on and President Biden announced
an emergency sale of 1 million barrels a day, totaling 160 million barrels.
Shortly thereafter, he also announced a resumption of offshore lease sales.
Of course, he also shaved off 80 percent of the acreage that the industry had
requested and hiked the royalty by 50 percent – the first hike in
history.
To be fair, gas prices moderated modestly toward the end of April, but remain
above $4.00 a gallon. Since the start of the Biden Administration, gas prices
are up over 80 percent. This record of futility drives home the basic economics
of the situation: Either admit you want gas (and other carbon-based fuel)
prices higher and sell it politically on the merits, or take some real,
permanent action on domestic production that stands a chance of increasing
supply enough to reduce gas prices.
The Biden Administration has done neither.

UT Southwestern to Invest in Public Health Program
It's no secret that the pandemic not only demonstrated a
real need for public health experts but also contributed to an increased
interest in public health professions.
UT Southwestern Medical
Center announced this week that it would launch the Peter O’Donnell Jr. School
of Public Health, the first new graduate program at the school in 50 years.
It will welcome its
first class of graduate students in 2023.
City Council to Vote Today on Changes to Comprehensive Housing Policy
Having heard from a consultant that Dallas' existing housing
policy does not adequately account for equity, the Dallas City Council will
vote on a resolution to modify the plan.
The CHP was adopted in 2018, designed to be a strategy for
investing in more mixed-income and affordable housing in
"high-opportunity" neighborhoods, instead of placing them in areas
where there are significant deficits in infrastructure, job opportunities, and
public transportation, as the city has been wont to do in the past.
Later this week, we'll be taking a look at these infrastructure
gaps, but the takeaway is this: There's a big difference in equal and equitable,
and the city is still learning that.
