As for SPR purchases, you do realize that Trump signed into law six bills that required 150+ million barrels of oil from the SPR to help finance everything from budget balancing to Trump's tax cuts? Trump proposed using covid-19 stimulus funds to offset his early sales, but shocker, it didn't fly.
I'm specifically speaking about the Democrats stripping out of the 2020 stimulus bill, the 3 billion for buying oil at $24 a barrel to replenish the SPR... and their reasoning was it was an "oil bailout"... but now, they are all behind the purchasing of oil to fill up the same SPR... only at $80 a barrel... because paying over 3 times as much for the same thing is sound fiscal policy only the Democrats could come up with.
