You want to nationalize US oil production?

How does wanting to keep all oil in the USA require nationalizing US oil?

FACTUALLY.. the USA exports..Crude oil of about 3.60 million b/d accounted for 38% of total U.S. gross petroleum exports.

Now Congress should force BIDEN to refill the SPR... the SPR (authorized storage capacity of 714 million barrels)

BUT because Biden has sold off more than 40 percent of the SPR last year to help limit rising fuel prices after Russia invaded Ukraine, leaving the stockpile at its lowest levels since the early 1980s.
Biden sold off nearly half the U.S. oil reserve. Is it ready for a crisis?

Biden tapped the SPR last year when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent oil prices soaring. Now Republicans blame him for putting the nation’s energy security at risk.

America first means every last OUNCE of oil drilled for on american soil stays here. If we need it why ship it away?

The oil is not drilled for by the US Gov't. It is drilled for and pumped out by private companies.

Sounds like something a Socialist would do

Because oil companies want to sell to the highest bidder

Didn't the US back a few coups to prevent other nations from nationalizing oil production?

 

[WinterBorn]

To the topic of the thread, I am a proud and patriotic American citizen. I love my country and have studied her history.

We have built something amazing. But that does not mean I do not condemn and am not ashamed of some things this nation has done. Some things should evoke shame and should be condemned.

First, they abandoned Democracy and now capitalism.

 

[Dekster]

I think we have greatly improved. The atrocities are far less atrocious.

Yet one side of the aisle, the True American side, seems to want to go backwards instead of building on our progress.

This has NEVER been a "democracy" so just HOW was it "abandoned?"

What "progress" is that? Open borders? Burgeoning criminality? Massive inflation? 50% tax rates for most Americans?

Well right now, the GOP is preventing Biden from being able to close the border so illegals and their drugs are coming right in and most Americans pay zero federal income taxes.

Another moron claiming we are not a Democracy

Must be listening to the Conservative media

Democracy sounds like DEMOCRATS
Republic sounds like REPUBLICANS

And yet another Democrat moron who doesn't know that we are a Constitutional REPUBLIC and that the very WORD "democracy" appears nowhere in our founding documents.

Another Moron who doesn’t understand that a Republic is an execution of Democracy
The terms are not exclusive of each other

If you vote for your representatives
You are a Democracy

Biden opened the border by EO, he can close it by EO. Reinstate the wall construction and "Stay in Mexico"

In a democracy simple majority can vote away the rights of the minority.

In a pure Democracy, everything is majority rule

There is no pure Democracy on earth. Never has been.
If you vote for your representatives, you are a Democracy.
Those Representatives make up a Republic

Wrong! Another moron who doesn't know the difference between a democracy and a republic which chooses SOME of its government (not even MOST of it) via democratic means.

No you are a republic with democratically elected representatives.

If this were a true democracy the public would be voting on every law that would be passed, every regulation that would plague us.

but in reality Congress doesn;t give a fuck what the people think.

Why you imbeciles trust the fucking government so much is a fucking mystery to me.

Study: Congress literally doesnât care what you think

I had no idea how bad things actually were until I saw one simple graph.

BS, of course. Biden HAS the tools in place to close the border. He always HAS had them. He's merely chosen to ignore them.
