President Biden’s reckless handling of America’s emergency oil supply left taxpayers with a $100 million repair bill while weakening national security. Energy Secretary Chris Wright exposed how Biden drained nearly half the Strategic Petroleum Reserve before the 2022 midterms to manipulate gas prices and boost Democrats politically. This short-term political trick damaged critical infrastructure built to protect Americans during real emergencies.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve exists for disasters, not elections. Biden sold off 180 million barrels at breakneck speed, crippling storage systems in salt caverns designed for gradual use. Pumping equipment from the 1970s wasn’t built for this abuse – imagine revving a vintage car nonstop until it breaks. Now taxpayers must fix what Biden broke.
This wasn’t about helping families. Inflation was crushing hardworking Americans, and Biden panicked. He emptied emergency reserves to create a temporary price drop before voters punished his party. It worked – Democrats dodged a red wave. But Biden sacrificed America’s energy safety net for his own gain.
Today, the reserve holds just 399 million barrels – far below its 715 million capacity. If China invades Taiwan or hurricanes shut down Gulf refineries, we’ll face shortages because Biden put politics over preparedness. Energy experts warn refilling the reserve will take years while global threats grow.
Radical Democrats don’t care about lasting damage. They wanted green votes from climate activists while quietly depending on foreign oil. Biden’s war on American energy left us weaker. First he killed pipelines and drilling, then raided emergency supplies to hide his failures.
Real leaders plan for crises. Biden planned for polls. Draining the reserve fast-tracked wear-and-tear, risking collapses in underground salt domes that store our oil. These facilities need careful maintenance, not panic-driven dumping. Biden’s team ignored warnings to score cheap political points.
Now gas prices are rising again, and America’s safety cushion is threadbare. Families face higher costs because Biden wasted our emergency stockpile. Meanwhile, China and Russia stockpile oil while laughing at our weakness. Patriots built the reserve to protect us – leftists looted it.
This betrayal shows why conservatives fight for energy independence. Drill here. Drill now. Refill the reserve. Stop letting coastal elites play games with our security. Biden’s misuse of emergency oil proves Democrats can’t be trusted with power. They’ll burn down anything to stay in charge.
