Held hostage to the oil cartels
Why are we so docile as we are beholden to Opec for our oil? Does this not irritate people? We are stuck between crazy liberals in congress who do not want to increase domestic oil production (offshore drilling anyone?) and crazy terrorist supporting nations in the middle east who would rather suck our money dry and undermine us in Iraq then help us. Yet we do nothing in the USA. Sure we talk about alternative energy, we give credit for hybrid cars, we try to drive less. But we do nothing to increase our domestic energy capacity now. Oh wait, we subsidize farmers for ethanol drastically cutting the supply of corn for chicken and livestock - which then drives up our food prices...all for some dubious "environmental" savings. What a mess...
