You want to sell more awl?

Produce it more cheaply!

[chuckles]

Oh, so now FReepers want to have open markets while Trump wants trade wars with the whole world? Why not just tax imported oil and put Americans back to work?

Hypocrisy.

If you guys cheer Trump saying he wants to put a 45% tax on China, then tell American oil men to work cheaper, well somebody is mixed up. All the oil men are saying is the same thing Trump has been saying forever.

American jobs for America.

Saudi Arabia has a cost of about $6 to extract a barrel of oil.

The United States has a cost of about $35.

In Saudi Arabia, oil is so easy to extract it is often described as sticking a straw in the sand and out oozes oil.

In the United States, the oil is harder to get to and requires more labor and specialized contractors.

The good news is the United States has ten times more oil than Saudi Arabia.

The bad news is that Saudi Arabia wants to bankrupt the oil producers in the United States.

The reality is that if America is to achieve energy independence in terms of oil, it will need to protect Americans and the American oil industry.
