“I detest regulations. But in this case oil products coming from American soil need to sold within the nation, surplus sold outside. I suspect American producers are owned by foreign interests and need to be reigned in.”

How do you define “surplus?”

What about if we simply follow Free Market principles and not adopt the economic policies of Venezuela?

the oil industry claims it is all supply and demand - I don’t see it. The American public has been taking it on the chin from Washington, Wall Street and the oil industry.

I can’t help but think of all the countries who protect their own products and charge high duties for American goods.

I am not a one world guy. Take care of the US first, secondarily the rest of the world.

So, even if Keystone is approved, even if we drill more oil, we’ll still be paying out the wazoo for fuel. We could still see shortages if fuel is exported for the highest price. Isn’t that what Stalin did in the 1930s with food? Why should we approve these things then? The left would use this as an argument that free markets don’t work.
