They're not reducing spending. NYS had a budget surplus last year so they're using some of that to make up for the future lost revenue from the gas tax.

I had thought NYS was in debt, so why not use the surplus to pay off the debt? If I am wrong let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am wrong let me know No. You're right. NYS is definitely in debt. I don't even believe it was a thought to pay some of it off using the unexpected budget surplus from last year.

B-Man Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 OUCH: Ron Klain’s 2021 tweet BRAGGING about gas prices soon ‘tumbling below $3’ makes new brutally HILARIOUS rounds on Twitter https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2022/05/23/ouch-ron-klains-2021-tweet-bragging-about-gas-prices-soon-tumbling-below-3-makes-new-brutally-hilarious-rounds-on-twitter/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 That’s the President of the United States calling the $5.00 a gallon gasoline that is crushing Americans an “incredible transition.” And lest anyone think I’m misreading him, he means it exactly as it sounds and says as much by citing that we’ll become “less reliant” on fossil fuels in the end. In other words, this is all intentional. Biden and his handlers saw an opportunity to destroy the energy market and have done everything in their power to make that a reality. The most recent example came after the administration canceled more oil and gas leases that could have helped relieve price pressures long-term. * * * * * * * * We’ve moved past the point of simple political disagreement and into the realm of purposeful sabotage in order to obtain a delusional partisan goal. They aren’t even hiding the ball anymore. These people want you to suffer. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2022/05/23/they-want-you-to-suffer-n568547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The United States was a total petroleum net exporter in 2020 and 2021. In 2021, the United States exported about 8.63 million barrels per day (b/d) and imported about 8.47 million b/d of petroleum,1 making the United States an annual total petroleum net exporter for the second year in a row since at least 1949.

Apr 21, 2022 This is true but could lead to a false conclusion. Trump policies were the dominant policies for the begining of the year where we were exporting more and importing less. By the end of the year we were importing more than exporting. It was not Biden policies that caused the net export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a explanation I just have not found it yet. The US also exports Liquified natural gas . NYSEG just requested a 22% rate increase for NY.

Nat Gas operates in a regional/global market and producers are free & right to find the best price for their product. It's not their fault that Europe listened to much to their Green Left and demolished their Energy infrastructure and became entirely reliant on Russian Gas + US LNG...so now that they are dropping Russian Gas, European Nat Gas prices have sky-rocketed 156% this year to $189/mmbtu vs. US prices around $8.50. Yes, those prices are up 127% YTD here in the US, but that's our fault. NY State has enough Nat Gas to power half the US, but we won't allow it. So there you have it, the companies are responding appropriately to market forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Saw a gallon of gas today for 4.36 at BJS in Clarence and almost fell over. They clearly passed the gas tax savings on immediately to the consumer. Never thought I’d see the day that 4.36 per gallon was a low, low price.
