Seriously, ALL of the oil in all of the shale in the US would not begin to pay down our debt.

I saw trillions and did some quick math. But, sheesh, you're right.

Apparently math isn’t your friend either.

A trillion barrels currently recoverable in Green River shale at $100 per barrel is $100 trillion.

Subtract production costs and a “mere” $17 trillion debt goes away pretty quickly.
