Local Gas Prices Remain High Following Epic U.S. Blunder

Analysts: Worst Foreign Policy Decision in U.S. History

Roseville, Calif. – Gas prices remain stubbornly high following the U.S. failure to achieve any of its objectives in war with Iran. Prices currently remain over 50 percent higher than January lows of $3.29 in Roseville.

Most experts and analysts—outside of popular cable "news" shows that parrot and cheerlead administration misinformation at the expense of their audience —view the war as an overwhelming strategic defeat. The war has accumulated significant financial cost to U.S. taxpayers and at the cost of American servicemen's lives, hundreds of casualties and billions in destruction to numerous American military bases and equipment.

Abject Failure

Despite massive damage inflicted across Iran, the United States has failed to achieve every single stated war aim which includes unconditional surrender, regime change, no ballistic missiles, cease support for proxies, and no nuclear enrichment.

Iran has severely shuttered traffic out of the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. administration initially agreeing to what analysts perceive as a subservient position with Iran sanctions relief, flow of oil, and a $300 billion economic development fund. Meanwhile, the U.S. administration continues to assert overwhelming victory. The extremely unpopular and unprovoked war delivered little more than death, chaos, and worldwide economic pain.

Debt Soars

The U.S. debt now exceeds 40 trillion dollars. Despite campaign claims of reducing debt, Donald Trump's administrations have added more debt than any president in history by a significant margin.

Local Impacts

Locally, Roseville consistently remains the low price leader in South Placer while Rocklin and Lincoln residents consistently pay higher energy costs across the board.

The lowest gas prices in South Placer are reliably found in Roseville. Typically, Costco and Sam's Club which have remained consistent over the years with occasional exceptions and short term price wars. California imports a significant amount of its oil from the Middle East with Iraq accounting for 21 percent.
