McCain is a puppet for Kissinger (as is Graham). Once you think about that, everything McCain does makes sense.

The Jones Act already has several holes drilled in it.

Ask the Canadian National RR about their ownership of US Steel’s ore carrier fleet on the Great Lakes...

The ships tending the U.S. offshore oil drilling operations fall under the coastal tanker designation, and currently are U.S. flagged and American crewed. The ships are built in U.S. shipyards and are maintained locally.
