Biden to replenish 2.7 million barrels of oil out of the 180 million he released from the Strategic Oil Reserves at over $79/barrel.

Scenario 1: Buy oil for $20 and you have a Barrel you paid $20 for.
Scenario 2: Buy oil for $20 sell it for $95 and buy it again at $79. You now have a barrel of oil you paid $4

That is $95 -$20-$79 which is -$4 vs just -$20.

THE MATH IS EASY. You are just confused at your age and I apologize for making fun of you in your confusion. Seriously though you are confused.
So you admit in your scenario you are replacing a barrel of oil for more money per barrel than the barrel you just sold.

Your equation is off, Mr. Economist. It should be $95-$20 + $79 = $4 per barrel MORE you spent to replace an identical barrel of oil.

Man, you really are stupid.

It's also funny you think we bought all that oil originally for $20.
 
That is a fair point. Right now we are flush with $17B in cash and can replace the oil for $14B. That will be $3B in profit. Plus he saved gas consumers about $1B by lowering prices. That is in the past. You can send a thank you note to 1600 Pennsylvania ave.
He dropped fuel prices by a penny a gallon, that is what he saved American consumers, for about a month, so we thank Biden for gas being $4.99 a gallon and not $5 a gallon for a month.
 
Biden sold 180 million barrels of oil for a $4 billion "profit", and must spend over $14 billion to replace that same oil.

"Economics major" Citygator claims Tater made us money.
 
I swear. It’s amazing you get through life without hurting yourself. You already have the oil. It’s sitting in a reserve.

If you have 1 barrel of oil in the reserve your choices are:

1. DO NOTHING… you have a barrel of oil
2. SELL IT FOR $95 and buy it back for $79… you have a barrel of oil AND $16.

So where did the "profit" go?

YOu will never get this concept through to them. They cannot wrap their heads around things like this.
 
I bet the idiot didn't even go to community college.
Hopefully they did

2 years at community college learning a skill does not damage the brain the way 4-6 years at the University of Lib La La Land will
 
In that instance the added oil supply reduced prices by 17-24 cents. Prices would have been higher. It saved consumers $924M.. about.
In another instance, when a President slaps multiple executive orders at the domestic oil and gas industry resulting in higher costs, more regulations compared to their global competitors, and restricting drilling and production infrastructure, this executive orders are necessarily going to have an inflationary impact on costs which will result in higher prices.

I don’t dispute your point that the President’s action or policy impacted the price of gas positively. I have always been consistent that a President cannot set the gas prices but his policies and actions can influence prices and I just showed you how a President’s policies can impact gas prices higher..

I am very serious

Biden stupidly tipped his hand when he promised the little snowflake that he would get rid of oil

Then he panicked when prices went up and his poll numbers went down
Posts crap like this^ , Calls Joe Biden "stupid".
 
If you sell it for $95 and buy it for $79 it reduces the deficit. You should be able to understand that without all of the fancy degrees I have. Also, the release lowered prices 17-24 cents a gallon. It leveraged an unused resource to ease the life expenses for you. You should be thankful.
$Billions of dollars in deficit spending will reduce the deficit?

Math only a Dem / Socialist would propose.
 
Maybe tomorrow or down the road it can be had for 10% less.
There is also that.
One school of thought is that Sausis will actually open up production to the maximum to deliberately tank the price and push higher cost producers {read US producers) outta the market and then raise it again when they're gone.

Might be a good thing to have the capability to support the price at that point.
