“ The article doesn’t discuss who were the recipients of the SPR oil, and how much money the gov’t reaped by the sales this year.”
—————
Or who (in the Biden family) got commissions for selling that oil to foreign (and generally hostile) interests.

“We could probably refill it in a few months,”

Somebody was saying that they figure that is is actually a renewable resource. Meaning that it is constantly being replaced naturally.

Exactly. Hopefully, someone will resurrect the lost art of investigative journalism.

Oh, there’s no doubt in my Military Mind that this is all part of their nefarious plan to starve us out. None whatsoever.

... the SPR — which now essentially stands at about 100 million barrels, ...

U.S. daily consumption is approx. 18.6 million barrels.

100 million barrels = approx. 5.4 days of U.S. daily consumption.

We could, IF Trump gets back in the WH, restarts all oil exploration and production, and get back to where we were 3yrs ago. Big “if”...

Who is “they”?

Talks about selling in years 2028-2031????

These are the budget tricks these guys pull to "pay for" their spending.

2028-2031 are the last three years of a 10 year payback of a bill passed in 2022.

It's pulling crap like this that makes McConnell think he's such a brilliant deal-maker.

“They” are the elites who control this country.

I tell people to think “Mob” when they think of this government.

They’re worse than “The Mob” of old. At least they were honest about what they were going to do. ‘They’ are beyond mere criminals; can’t think of a term for it, just now.

I always ask people if they knew what the mob used to call the “lottery” the government runs now.

What was a street tax.

Or a taste.

Or a bribe.

Muscle.

Juice.

Every single one of those are used today by this government under alternative names.

Biden will go down as one of the worst Presidents in US history. AND the little bugger has two years left to continue ruining the country.
