Read over the weekend via newspaper that CAFTA will result in US exporting billions in petroleum. Maybe the exporting will be temporarily stopped but I won't hold my breath. The American consumers are being gouged horribly so why in the world does the US oil companies and govt want to export petroleum to the central american nations when it could be used at home. Message to the oil companies and to the govt: charity begins at home.

Yes, they know that, just recently refineries were given millions of our taxpayers dollars by heir Humelund Security to beef up security in the form of overpriced fences & out of dated cameras.

They probably think that the average Joe can afford to live at their standard of living. The believe they are main stream America. Do politicians pay for their own gas or do they have a government like credit card for those things?

You'd have the same amount of oil at the same price regardless of how much you import and export...except for Cuba which gets subsidied by Venezuela, but what would you expect from Marxists.

the price of oil is determined by world markets, exporting to central america or anywhere else doesnt effet oil prices.
