3 Seems like taxing energy will likely make things more expensive. I think Biden should run this idea past the oracle that is currently tending Fetterman’s hump. Maybe an inspection of some goat entrails will sort this mess into a coherent policy.

7 Never forget that government views inflation as a positive since it makes the debt look less than it is.
