You are a nutcase. A true nutcase. I showed that this country does not export crude except in miniscule quantities. That it exports finished products well below the level of imported oil, so we basically import oil, refine it and export some of it back out again. And that Argentina exports some of its oil because it can't refine it all.

And you say that proves nothing? I just proved how completely full of crap your claims are, and you're just too deliberately ignorant to care.

Oh, and me, a Paultard? Ask anyone who knows me, that is your DUMBEST claim yet. I am someone who lives in the world of what can be proven, not what can be pulled out of one's arse.

I believe in a balanced approach - markets, but regulation of such. I think there are more restrictions needed on commodities exchanges. I am hardly a die-hard libertarian, they have their good points and bad points and I pick what is good from them.

You, on the other hand, wallow in delusions about how oil is produced, refined and consumed in this country. You applaud a socialist takeover. In other words, you are liberal to the bone and too stupid to realize it. Toodles.

Still "dirtboy" you do engage in the very sort of tactics the equally strange "sarahjohnson" notes.

You should both turn your talents to figuring out how to keep natural gas prices in the United States low ~ we are shortly going to be EXPORTING more of it, and that's going to bring the world price home to us in spades.

(Not to hijack the thread, but there you have it)
