Yet the US didn't become a major producer of oil with foreign oil..Just the stuff in the USA...We aren't, and won't be. 4 bucks would still be a big bargain. Most other nations would kill for that. And that's what it takes. We are very willing to kill for those low gas prices. We've been doing it for many years. Lots of blood has been spilled so Americans could enjoy their low gas prices. But most Americans are too naive and oblivious to realize that.
The reality is, most other nations aren't willing to kill for low gas prices. But the good ole U S of A is. We will invade and slaughter thousands to get that oil. And the truth is, most Americans don't care. They want their low gas prices. And they don't care how it gets done.
That's just the way of the world. And on a side note, Obama and Democrats have been very hostile towards American domestic producers. We could have been much more independent from foreign oil, if they hadn't been so hostile.
Isn't oil sold on the world market? Does the fact that we have the second lowest tax on gasoline have something to do with our low price for gas?
Don't get me wrong though we have protected the flow of oil with our military, but that is for corporate profits not a low price at the pump.
Fact is, the US Government is willing to invade and kill for the oil. Americans want their cheap gas. And most don't care how it gets done. They just want it done.
Nope. The US Government is willing to invade and kill for continued access to the oil fields for the multinational oil conglomerates to develop and exploit. Americans are just one of many consumers in the profit chain. Many Americans work in that industry. We pay market prices with lower taxes than the rest of the developed world.
Americans want their cheap gas, big cars/trucks, and Big Macs. They're not real complex folks. They're not interested in knowing how it gets done. Americans enjoy the luxury of living a fat blissfully ignorant existence. You really did hit the lottery being born in America. No other place like it.
