The days of needing the SOR are long pastThe SPR is there for unforeseen emergencies in production anywhere - including domestically. It was originally paid for long ago - then under Clinton the pubbies voted to start selling it off when the price was low. The price of oil rose and we started restocking. Now that prices are low again we are selling. Buy high - sell low. That is how our GoPeeers do it.

Relax! It’s not like they’re going to turn around and give it to Iran to help them develop nuclear weapons. Sheesh!

So...they’ve burned through the savings, maxed out the credit cards, and now they are selling off the family heirlooms...
Time for a divorce, IMO.

Selling a fixed asset should go directly to paying down debt. It shouldn’t factor into the budget at all.

I heard a short while ago that some wealthy person paid the ransom for the art, so for now it is safe.

It’s called strategic for a reason.
It’s in case of war.
