Someone needs to start asking the playback recorders, “if this is so, then why is gas free in Saudi Arabia and less than 50cents a gallon in many other major oil producing countries?”

They heavily subsidize it.

Is it really all that heavily subsidized, or is it just less transportation, no import/export terriffs, huge local supply? I am sure the free Saudi gas is subsidized at least some, but I am also pretty sure that the fuel is a lot cheaper at the source. We need to make the US our source.

We will bypass terriffs, stop sending our treasure overseas, create local jobs, probably do a better job with environmental care, and most importantly reduce prices at the pump!

When you produce more than you consume theres no need to subsidize.
