"I don't believe it." I guess that settles it.
If you recall, we went through this discussion before, with a lot of documentation on oil company finances and profits, showing that their profit percentage was not excessive, and that most of what you are paying is for taxes, production costs and raw materials.
I understand that a lot of people are champing at the bit to draw off our strategic reserves for short-term price advantage (which wouldn't be much). This is why these people should not be in charge of things.
These are often the same people who would rather stick needles in their eyeballs than see the U.S. explore and exploit new domestic reserves. Go figure.
