CDZ Why are Americans constantly lied to by our leaders and the media ?

[the other mike]

There's an enormous list of issues we're all lied to about on a daily basis, but let's start with this one. Why do they keep telling us the United State has the world's largest oil reserves when they know it's an absolute lie ?

What's the date of that chart?

What's the date of that chart?

Pre-Permian basin discovery ....is that your point ?

According to List of countries by proven oil reserves - Wikipedia
the U.S. is still only #11.

Tied with Libya. What a sad an embarrassing coincidence.

I think some get production and reserves mixed up. Knowing what is there and what gets pumped out of them.

It's not confusion - it's spin. Coming from the same ones who criticize Venezuela for wanting socialism ....they just don't want them to nationalize their oil like Kuwait or Qatar unless Chevron, Exxon and BP can get their greedy paws on it. So the IMF creates some guy Juan Guido nobody heard of, but the people said no, we tighten sanctions and another 40,000 will die, and round and round we go.

US sanctions on Venezuela 'responsible for tens of thousands of deaths'

Is your post about the media, oil companies, banks, or Venezuela?

I sure wish I paid the same per gallon of gasoline as Venezuelans do. Pennies on the dollar. Not to long ago gas was $.16 per gallon there.
