Do you think we were in a good sound position when we were relying on Middle-Eastern oil?
Do you want to return to that scenario faster than we would otherwise have to?
You can dance around this primary concern all you like. We have a market for the product here in the U. S. We should keep our oil reserves for domestic consumption.
Yes, some things are truly worth more than increased profits. Sometimes reasoned profits should be enough.
Now back to the charge that I’m a fascist Leftist...
You suggestions will not decrease our dependence on foreign oil. It will increase our dependence on foreign refineries and petrochemical plants.
Hoping the demand curve will rule while ignoring the supply curve is a sure way to fail economics.
I want smaller government, you want larger. We don’t agree.
