WHY DON'T WE GET AT SOME OF OUR OWN OIL WEALTH!?!?

THERE IS ONE THING AND ONLY ONE THING PREVENTING THE USA FROM BECOMING MORE ENERGY INDEPENDENT: THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS.


HERE'S A MAP - VIA POWER LINE - OF THE AREAS OFF THE COASTS OF THE USA WHICH ALLOW DRILLING, AND THOSE WHICH DON'T:

• I ASK YOU TO NOTE THAT A GREAT DEAL OF THE LOCAL WEALTH OF TEXAS AND LOUISIANA COMES FROM THEIR OFF-SHORE DRILLING.

• IT CREATES LOTS OF BLUE COLLAR AND WORKING-CLASS JOBS.

• AND LOCAL WEALTH.

• THE CITIZENS OF THE STATES WHICH DON'T PRESENTLY ALLOW DRILLING WOULD ALL BECOME WEALTHIER AND THEIR JOB MARKETS WOULD ALL IMPROVE IF THEY ALLOWED DRILLING OFF SHORE.

• AND - BY INCREASING SUPPLY - IT WOULD BRING THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL AND GASOLINE AND HEATING OIL DOWN. FOR EVERYONE.

• THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE.

• NONE.

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE A FEW OF THE BUILDINGS GOING UP IN DUBAI (SEE ABOVE) GOING UP IN THE USA INSTEAD!?
