Democrats joined Republicans in the House this week to pass a bill that would prevent the Biden administration from selling any more oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China or Chinese-owned companies.
Hallelujah!
It baffles me that the Biden administration (already selling nearly 200 million barrels in 2022) wants to dip back in for seconds to shell out over 40% of our oil reserves to the communist regime.
Selling our oil, which is now at its lowest level since the 1980s, puts our national security at risk and empowers China. Why on God's green earth would anyone agree to that?
America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve is meant for us to use in emergencies and national security eventsβnot to bury Biden's poor performance and inability to lower our astronomical gas prices.
Thankfully, Congress caught his hand in the cookie jar and stopped this boneheaded decision before it was too late.
Now letβs hope the Senate can follow suit.
