This summer’s announcement of the lowest national average gas prices since 2021 serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of energy policies on the daily lives of hardworking Americans. As citizens over the age of 60, many of whom have seen economic ups and downs throughout their lives, this development resonates deeply. This news highlights what can happen when a strong, pro-American energy strategy is put in place, emphasizing the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.
Under President Trump, gas prices were much more manageable and affordable. This summer, the average price per gallon has dropped to approximately $3.15—a stark contrast to the record high of $5.00 during President Biden’s administration in June 2022. For those members of our society who have dedicated their lives to building this nation, the importance of affordable energy cannot be overstated. As we drive to visit family, make local trips, and carry out our daily routines, lower gas prices directly impact our wallets, allowing us to spend more on essentials and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
The contrast between the two administrations could not be clearer. Under Biden’s energy policies, we have seen rising fuel costs, exacerbated by a so-called “war on American energy.” These statements are not mere political rhetoric; they are backed by facts showing how quickly gas prices can escalate, creating hardships for families across the country.
The Trump administration’s focus on enhancing fossil fuel production is critical for our national security and economic health. Legislative actions aimed at leveling the playing field for reliable energy sources ensure that traditional energy sectors like coal and natural gas thrive. Ending subsidies for unreliable wind and solar energy is a necessary step to restore balance and bring down costs for consumers.
It’s crucial to remain vigilant in this climate of misleading information from the mainstream media and political elites who often dismiss the concerns of hardworking citizens. By supporting leaders who prioritize practical energy policies, we stand up for our rights and our pocketbooks. In a time when many feel forgotten by those in power, let us rally behind the principles that put American families and their needs first. It’s time to remember what effective leadership looks like and advocate for policies that will restore pride and prosperity in America.
