How myopic to suggest that oil industry jobs are enough to keep an economy growing. Ya, these are good jobs but insignificant to the millions of jobs cheap oil will create. Good grief, all we need do is look to our history.

Reality and the past are just obstacles to the radical left and the leftist media....the GOOD in anything for America is always avoided.

Yes, look at history. When have we had significant job growth during a global recession?

Remember when everyone was pointing to Texas and their job growth outpacing the rest of the US combined? Well...

Probably true, but what kinds of jobs with the cheap energy create? More service jobs or real industry with a future? And where? In China, Vietnam, Philippines?

I see this benefitting developing countries more so than Western ones. So yes, more jobs but potentially not high paying jobs and not here. Most of our big manufacturers already operate out of other countries.
