The US should be exporting oil and not importing it. Simplest/best would be to simply ban the importation of oil in a single day, same as stopping smoking. That would mess us up about as badly as we were messed up in WW-II for about a year. A year later, we’d be ten times better off and most of the arch villains in the world would be riding camels and living in tents, as they should be. The wapost is fubar on this one as usual.

One of the dumbest posts I've ever seen on FR.

Wrong. Our plan is to use their oil up first then we will have our own here and they have nothing. This is a secret and shouldnt be talked about.

You have to be smoking crack. That would 'mess us up' about as badly as if we had lost WWII. You rip even 10% off our oil supply and the economy goes into a tail spin. Take away 60%, and it totally collapses. It wouldn't be gas lines or fuel rationing -- it would quickly be bread lines.
