Charlie, you should realize that oil is traded on a world market. The WORLD will have access to any oil we remove from our ground. We would have to nationalize oil, like Venezuela, before we see 700 billion dollars stay at home. The only ones who will truly profit from domestic drilling are the oil corporations. We are estimated to knock a few quarters off the gallon as soon as 5 years from now if we start drilling.
Please don't fall for the partisan bullshit going on in the media. Too many Americans are ignorant on oil and think that the solution is drilling our reserves dry.
