Foreign or domestic, what good is energy independence without financial independence?When we had excise taxes on imported goods, American industry thrived. We got addicted to relatively cheap foreign oil and gas. With a barrel of oil now pushing $100, that's undermining the value of a dollar and financial independence.

We got addicted to relatively cheap foreign oil and gas.Still personal freedom comes from economic choice, not forced economic directive.
Some do well with this scenario and some do not so well, but it's still freedom.
