Drilling for oil in the US wouldn't help, just like Outlaw says it's all about wall street. Case in point, we pump millions of barrels of oil off the La, gulf shores, sure it's good for La. economy due to the fact that it employes lots of La. residents. But the truth is, it's almost all exported to the highest bidder. Until the US get's smart and says, give it too us first, then export the balance, we'll always be dependent. I read where we have more oil reserves here in the US than all of the arab nations combined, but we're not drilling. It's the way our Government works, line the elected people's pocket and screw the public.
