yeah, that could work!so, they would open a new department and hire a bunch of people? like the workers being let go from the private sector, when this happens? gvt pensions for all the workers would have to be deducted calculations from the profit? never knew gvt agencies planned to make a profit, they usually try to break even and pass the savings on to us?The government would take over the industry that siphons a natural resource (that is arguably owned by nobody and everybody at once), and use the hundreds of billions in profit to fund things like universal health care, pay down the debt, etc.
the idea of the gvt making billions sounds great...not certain about the logistics though....
I suppose they could simply break even and then we could go back to paying $0.59/gal for gasoline. And that way we could afford to pay higher taxes elsewhere.

how would that work?
our gvt would pay the exxon's of the world on a contract to drill and/or purchase our oil?
or the gvt would hire all their employees and geologists etc?

Hey, they took over GM.... and it is still going broke, just like everything else they touch.

It worked for Alaska.

Yeah, it'd be broke in two years.

That's right. Because the economy would collapse back to the stone age so there'd be no need for taxes, because we would either collapse the dollar to zero with all the borrowing we'd need to buy the assets, or we would see a massive capital flight as the government took over the oil fields by force.
Prolly not a good idea...

You have it wrong, no one said anything about paying for the assets. The idea here would be that "for the good of the people", the government would simply confiscate the assets of the oil companies.
You realize that is the liberal/socialist way, don't you?
Immie

I come from a place where socialists - real socialists, not pretend "socialists" Republicans search for under their beds every night - did nationalize the natural resources. And they paid for them.
