IMO, it isn’t just the removal of our dependence on other countries for crude oil- those who like us and those who do not.

It is the fact that the MONEY we send all over the world to buy crude that we can produce here is the issue.
That money will life our own economy, provide new jobs in all phases of the oil/gasoline petrochemical business.
The cost of gasoline should come back down dramatically, and that helps every household in the USA.

That is an array of jobs from the dirt drilling operation to the white collar office and sales jobs.
What don’t the Liberals and Environazis get in the country?

We have a perfectly good product that we can use, right here, and it eliminates the problems of long distance ship transport and the changes in leadership in countries that can blackmail us.

You’ve said it all. I’m with you.

That is true. The Dems would rather whine about all the jobs that “have been shipped overseas” instead of actually doing something about it! The oil industry is very labor intensive and MANY Americans could have good, high paying jobs—HERE!
