Sorta like saying there's little to no inflation when you take energy and food prices out of the equation...DUH!

I noticed there wasn't one word about importing oil.

Isn't the call for eliminating the dependency on foreign oil a call for a "protectionist" act? Why is it freetraders are such hypocrites when it comes to dependency on foreign oil?...Or maybe you America haters think foreign oil dependency is also good for us.

You're going to have to elaborate on this one. It's almost a perfect non sequitur. I was remarking on the argument that freeing something up leads to abuse.

Brilliant! Explain the "hypocrisy" of me wanting to open-up ANWR for drilling, and being a "free-trader."

You know they very publicly issue both sets of numbers, don't you?

You don't think we should import oil? That would crimp our economy.

You can call for eliminating dependency on foreign goods, just don't do it by making them expensive. Do it by making American goods more affordable.

I think we should get our oil cheap, cheap is better than expensive. Boosting our domestic production will make all oil cheaper.
