What a bunch of blind eyes herein. We’re only buying 1/3 of oil from our enemies... so we’re only sending them 50 billion dollars a day? Dumb talk. We should not be transferring _any_ wealth to foreign countries, esp. not our enemies. Someone show us the stats anyway, the history of it all. Trillions to fund RIP folks who now buy our very souls with some of the posters approvals.

Buying foreign oil is a national security issue, period. We should be using our own, only.

I suggest you google a couple of phrases.

1. Money is fungible.

2. Oil is a commodity.

7 million barrels at $80 would be $560 million a day.

We should be using our own, only.

Great idea. We could use the savings for better science and math education.
