    Default Huge Oil Find Off Coast of Brazil

    A new oil reserve has been found that could equal the oil in Venezuela and Saudi Arabia

    Last year a huge oil field was found in the Gulf of Mexico

    In 2000, Pres Bush wanted to tap the oil in Anwar. Dems said no, and it would take 6 years before we would get a drop of oil

    Well, the oil could be flowing out right now - as oil approaches $100/bll

    When will libs finally stop blocking us from tapping our on oil reserves and stop rolling over to the enviro wackos?

    I heard this early this morning on the radio. I think if we looked hard enough we could find all the fucking oil this world would ever need. But the oil cartels don't want that. Then they wouldn't be stuffing their pockets with record profits. If there was ever a segment of the free market that I'd agree should be under government regulation, it would be the oil industry. They have us all by the shortest of the short hairs, and they're milking us for every fucking last penny the can pinch out of us without open revolt. They have the government bought off and in their back pockets, so they pretty much have it made.

    Pale, the oil companies make 10 cents profit off a gallon of gas. Governent makes 50 to 60 cents in taxes

    We also need to relax regs and allow oil companies to build and expand refineries. They are running at 98 to 99% and take much more new oil

    From what I have seen, groups like the Sierra club go to court and block any attempt

    You're thinking OPEC. That's the cartel.
    "Lighght"
    - This 'poem' was bought and paid for with $2,250 of YOUR money.

    Name one thing the government does better than the private sector and I'll show you something that requires the use of force to accomplish.
