People keep saying all we need to do is produce more oil here. But forgive my ignorance, but since this is a free market system. There wouldn't be any reason to believe that the producers would sell the oil to us for less than they would to India and China. In other words I think the price would stay inflated, since those two countries demand for Oil is outpacing production. So even though the U.S.s oil use has decreased by more than a million Barrels a day this year alone. Those two countries will eat it up at whatever the cost. Bush has already had to borrow money from China, and we keep buying there cheap products as we also move jobs to India. It's all just a big gang bang and were on the bottom.
I'll bet you anything you want to bet ...
