If we kept the billions going to the arabs for oil, how many jobs could we generate?

its not just about cheap gas, but we are sending our dollars to people who really don't like us. we need to keep the money here to fuel our economy. please call your represenitive and ask him or her to support developing our own resources.If we kept the billions going to the arabs for oil, how many jobs could we generate?

That is one of the best arguments for developing our own coal and oil resources here in the states: We would keep more of our 700 BILLION dollars that we normally send to other countries in the US where it would help shore up our economy. It would reduce fuel prices and help hold down inflation too, and, contrary to democrat lies, would not take ten years to get to the market and have an impact. And, we need time to develop affordable alternatives to our current system. Don't kill the horse before you have invented and built the automobile...
First of all, most of our oil comes from countries that have not nationalized their oil, and the profits are primarily going to western oil firms, not the people of the country where the oil was obtained. And even then, their profits are largely being invested in the west.





And since oil is one the world's top two industries, one guess who is the top contributor to campaign financing and lobbying in the USA? You want your representative to go against the people who got him/her in office? Not likely.





There are good sound reasons to wean the USA off foreign oil, but I don't see it happening any time soon because the rich and powerful who rule American profit from our dependency on oil. Damn sure neither McCain nor Obama is going to do a damn thing, maybe if the situation continues to get worse Americans will finally wake up and realize neither the Democrats nor the Republicans give a rat's a** about what is good for America, and we will get a long overdue housecleaning in Washington.

Who made ';arabs'; and who made ';you';? Why don't you try to identify everybody as ';human being';?
