Question

Should the US govt pass a law stipulating domestic oil must be sold domestically and not on the world market?

Answer 1

yes.  Have no idea why the dems don't make more hay from this.  Much of any oil drilled from ANWR would be sold to foreign countries.  So what was the point of drilling there?

  

Answer 2

Sure, but it would be really easy to circumvent.

Answer 3

Sure, and then Canada, Mexico, Venezuela etc can follow suit and we'll be completely down the tubes.

Answer 4

That is the only way that "drilling" will have any major impact on prices or national security.

You will however get many rants accusing you of undermining "free market capitalism" which is a mythical economic theory that the Republicans use to defend everything except government bailouts for failing banks and corporate welfare.
