nor is the stuff you guys are talking about as it relates to the topic of thread (taking away the power of the Middle East).
How do you figure?
We are involved (supposedly) in the middle east over oil. Creating our own domestic productions to fill our needs and skipping the imports from those countries takes away a portion of their power over us. the middle east doesn't like the US for an assortment of reasons. You want me to name them and how we can cut the ties and perhaps even foster good diplomacy with that region?
More so, what does China have to do with that power in correlation to us?
WTF are we talking about here??
earlier in this thread you said "We need free markets instead of authoritarian controlled markets." how do you plan on controlling the oil that the private businesses in the US produce (since they now sell it on the open market) to keep it here?
There wouldn't be a need. Regulatory and subsidy measures make foreign markets more appealing because they can make more and cut less red tape. Even with the costs of shipping. Shipping is expensive and if the appeal is to return here, it is a nonissue for them to export more than they keep domestic.
