chuckwoww Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Domestic oil isn't cheap. How about making the Middle East oil cheaper? Right now the Saudis virtually control production. China is buying oil wherever they can. Getting the Iraqi fields back in production would be a big help. So would lifting sanctions on Iran.

chuckwoww Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 You got me there OH. But the debate just keeps moving along. The Scott Brown stud got the job. Today it's all about bank regulation and who controls public money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 We export almost 69,000 thousand barrels of oil but we IMPORT from Sadia Arabia 29,233 thousand barrels of oil in October. If we stopped exporting half the oil we export already, we would not need to import Saudia Arabia oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it's all about bank regulation and who controls public money. [color:red]Scott Brown got elected because the issue(s) got changed from healthcare to terrorism because of The Christmas bomber who had a bomb in his knickers.[/color] Same goes for oil production in the USA. The USA gets about 40% of our own from our own country. In October 2008 it was 144,747 thousand barrels. But look at the figures for oil production in the USA for October 1970 - it was 310,403 thousand barrels! If we were at 1970 production we would be producing 80% of our own oil! With some conservation we could be at 100% dependent of foreign oil. Ask yourself why do the political element want to keep us in fear instead of providing solid direction?

Old Hippie Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 AH, you you always/only seem to ever want to blame liberals. Yet, as I have pointed out, it is both sides. So to correct the problems, we need to stop blaming one side over the other, and do something that will actually stop the bullshit...like a real tea party. Not these bullshit ones, and not one where we toss a useful product over board, but the politicians instead... But you and I both know the American people have their heads up their asses, so well...

cavanami Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Simple way to fix the USA problems: 1. Every person over 50 y.o gets $1M to retire. Now we have jobs and have fixed the unemployment problem! (that would be say 20M jobs!) 2. Those that accept the $1M must buy a new American made car. Now we fixed the US auto industry problem. 20M cars sold! 3. Those that accept the $1M must buy or pay off a house. Now we fixed the banking problem. This $1M X 20M = 2,000,000,000,000. $2T, cheaper then this US bailout shit which has only provided lavish parties for a select few companies and CEOs!!!
