We are gleeful because we want to see people go back to work and economies boom. We are gleeful because we understand the importance of a restrained government. Dumbass.Prosperity is crucial in making America great again. Drilling in these specific areas will help us get there.You're dumb as a cardboard box so you don't know that Obama does not own it. Nor are you smart enough to know that the rest of what you wrote is horse shit.
What is wrong with you RWNJs that you always act to harm yourselves, your family, your country and your planet?

Yes....prosperity is crucial. Like the prosperity derived from the fishing industries and coastal tourism which many communities depend on and which are directly affected by off shore drilling.
It's a matter of balance.
The fact that you are gleeful over this - in a time where we have a glut of energy and record low profits is pretty much proof you don't give a shit about either pollution or a wise balance between energy production and environmental protection.
Let me explain this rationally and economically. The reason there are a massive layoff in the oil industry.
1. Because there are so much oil that it's cheaper to buy than produce.
2. You have to raise the price of oil per barrel to $123 (2013) in order to be profitable. Today's price is below $50.
3. Meaning if it cost $123/barrel cost around $4/gallon at the gas station.
4. So how is opening more offshore drilling (more oil) create more jobs?
NO we do not need more offshore drilling so greedy people like Trump and his buddies can keep raping this country. Besides oil platform are ugly.
BTW economy is booming and unemployment is very low that hypocrite Trump cannot even find workers for his vineyard and Mara lago. So why worry about jobs?
You are correct. I ran into a couple guys I know that were laid off in the past 6 months because the price of oil and gone down dramatically over the past year or so. If there is more drilling, more oil there won't be oil jobs. They will actually have to get immigrants or illegals to operate these new rigs.
Even my friend a chief mate of an oil tanker for 15 years making around $135k/year got laid off 18 months ago. He was just lucky because he was able to get a job at carnival cruise after 6? months off making a little less but shorter trips 7 to 10 days and luxurious stops.
Compared to 8 to 10 months out in the ocean. He gave me a tour one time 03 or 05 to see how they operates, navigates, cabins, only captains can bring their wife, load and unload jet fuels, free supply of porno cd and magazines. After I left my body smells like gas for couple of hours. Probably the most boring job I ever seen.
Actually most of the seaman came from all over the world like India, Pakistan, Philippines etc. These are the people that stays down there at the bottom of the ship.
