There is no doubt big oil has tremendous power in the imperial capitol on the Potomac. This is why the politicians kowtow to the Saudis and why Trump is trying to overthrow the governments of Iran and Venezuela.
Yet another clear example of how the extreme wealthy get whatever they want from Uncle Sam. When will the people wake up?
Are you guys wanting to go back to a time where the middle east could shut off our oil imports anytime they want? Do any of you remember the late 70's with fuel shortages? Odd/even gas days? 10 gallon max purchase? Having to ride a motorcycle to work in the winter to save fuel? I don't ever want to go back to depending on the middle east to supply our oil.
