Now it’s clear why you jumped in on me with your pal there.

Well, Sarah, I posted two links showing that we import far more oil than we export. That we mostly export refined products instead of crude, and if you follow consumption reports you would know our gasoline consumption has dropped off considerably, thereby creating excess capacity at US refineries. And I have also shown that Argentina has to import a lot of its gasoline because of policies that make development of refineries unattractive to private investors - and no private investor will build there now.

So tell us, Sara - in your utopian world, should the US NOT export refined products even though we have excess capacity? Should oil companies instead close those refineries? Or should there be government policies - like Argentina's - that keep gasoline prices lower than world markets, like what is also done in countries such as Iran, which leads to budget-busting deficits.

So tell us, Sara - what would YOUR policies be to effect your view on the evils of global fungibility of oil and refined products? Anyone can complain. Give us a workable policy.
