You would rather have Saudi and Chinese and Mexican ships plying our waters?
A way to help America’s high gas prices could be:
Allow oil companies to drill on federal land with the sole purpose of using this oil for domestic purposes only.
After all, it is the people’s land.
Doesn’t this law factor into securing our borders?
Dear Lord, please,guide our course.

the current regime will do nothing to lower prices at the pump - it is their goal to have $5/gal gas
the obamoids don’t WANT cheap gas-
they want to stew us slowly at $3-$ a gallon and ease us up to European gas prices because for some reason, they think unaffordable gasoline is a moral cause
they want America to be a network of happy peasant urban centers w/communal housing, pedestrian walkways, bicycles and organic gardens in the village center, where mothers will toil as their children are entered into govt run daycare.
Cars and cheap gasoline represent individual mobility and liberty, deeply suspicious behaviors that must be curbed by government
Gee they could knock off a whole 30 cents,
That would bring the price down to $3.39.9 cents a gallon.
When Obama was elected gas was $1.72 cents.
We could get rid of Obama and save a helluva lot more than 30 cents.
Do away with the alcohol mandate
Do away with boutique blends
Phone companies still have to add 5 cents to every bill to pay for ..... the Spanish-American war of 1898. Then too some Civil War veterans relations still get a pension of sorts.
While the Jones act has little benefit, the repeal would not cause the claimed price drop.
So this law has been around since 1920 and we are hearing about this now for what reason? And this could profit whom? And this never came up in all of the oil crises in the 70’s and 80’s and recently every time a cockroach stumbles across a gas line in the Middle East.
I know it is not popular to state this on these pages but I trust oilmen less than most politicians or used car salemen.
Building the XL pipeline not only to bring Canadian crude to US refineries but oil from North Dakota at a price far cheaper and far safer than moving crude by rail or truck. Start building the XL and watch global oil prices plummet.
This is the very reason why ALL cruise ships with a home port in the U.S. visit at least one foreign port.
Better solutions would be to eliminate ethanol requirements and build the Keystone Pipeline. Would also have the benefit of lowering food prices by T least 10-15%.
it would be the death of the US ship industry, what is left of it.
Other countries opendly subsidize and prop up thier ship industries.
