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

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

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

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

Isn't the call for eliminating the dependency on foreign oil a call for a "protectionist" act?

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.

Why is it freetraders are such hypocrites when it comes to dependency on foreign oil?...

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

It ain't gonna happen. Why would record profiting oil companies want to "boost" production to make oil cheaper?
