Question

Wouldn't it be interesting if the U.S. had the wealth income from our own oil that those oil countries have?

Answer 1

we got it, the gov. just will not pump/ drill for it.they blame it all on environmentalists (a lot of it is them) but When has the gov. ever listened to us? and whet we want? It is a bad time now and will get worse with all prices going up on every thing.the one thing you can bank on NOT going up is wages!

Answer 2

Yes. It would be great. It would force competition because other nations would lose money if we made more oil. We make a lot of our own oil now, but if we made more than we needed..... many other countries would be forced to bring down their prices and we would see the economy of the world level out.
