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.
The price of oil oil at the time of Trump trying to define covid-19 stimulus was irrelevant, it wasn't acceptable to deny funds to individuals, period. But you seem to think lawmakers two years ago has some sort of supernatural or psychic ability to know the price of oil today? Really?

You're apparently all about the SPR being used as budget offsets, but are against it being used to replace oil missing from the international market as a result of a market impacting crisis. Uh huh, you may want to look up what the SPR was created for, because you've got it backwards.

Russian invaded Ukraine, oil went up, then Biden took action internationally to coordinate stockpile releases to calm markets, oil then went down. Basic cause and effect.
