All across the country, Americans are facing staggering gasoline prices, pinching their wallets even further as inflation runs rampant. But what\u2019s causing gas prices to skyrocket?\nThe Biden administration blames Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s war on Ukraine, as well as greedy U.S. business owners, for the sharp rise in prices. But that doesn\u2019t pass the smell test for Katie Tubb, a senior policy analyst for energy and environmental issues at The Heritage Foundation.\n\u201cI think it\u2019s incredibly disingenuous for the administration to say that, in part because Americans aren\u2019t stupid and they saw prices go up before Russia invaded Ukraine,\u201d Tubb says. \u201cAnd so I find that, honestly, a very discouraging characterization by the Biden administration.\u201d\nTubb joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss what\u2019s really causing soaring gas prices, and how the Biden administration needs to respond to fix it.\nWe also cover these stories:\n\nSen.
