And guess what you government will do what the big oil mafia suppliers tell them to do, because as long as the powers in you country get rewards the people will pay the price.

The USA does import more oil than it needs. Otherwise how could gasoline end up as our #1 export?
Fuel is top US export

You know is all a hoax about US no having enough oil, if that was the reason then US private interest government will not be contracting their biggest oil wells in the Gulf and Alaska to the UK.
Oil shortage is a well executed propaganda to keep the oil demand and prices high.
Iraq and Iran have plenty of oil, but the oil mafia and manipulators do not want that oil accessible and cheap.
The same reason that US oil rather is contracted away than exploited to benefit US citizens.

Many fellow Americans may feel offended but in my view the level of hypocrisy of your country disgusts me.
We are driving oil prices???

Another theory that you will find plenty of information in the net is that the only reason US have not collapsed yet with the incredible debt it have is due also to the same fact. US as an oil producing country can always back its dollar.
When you have the time, read into the Geopolitical wars and the Petrodollar, perhaps you will understand more why everything is so complicated when it comes to how US protect its oil interest, this is been ongoing since the late seventies, when Tax payer dollars were used to prop Saudi Arabia oil production while the US started to claim American oil was becoming hard to produce.
When it comes to profits and corporate dictatorship we the masses are feed only what the corporate government with the corporate media wants.
After a generation or two of spoon feeding the people what the government wants them to be fed they will believe anything.

I am from the old schools, I grew up in the seventies as a teen started college and by 1981 I was finished, so the rest is been on keeping off with the research in my spare time.
The new school of thoughts are now a littler bit different that they were when I was a young college student in the late 70s
Life was a lot easier and we were not so full of bias like today. Plus is no very nice to see how our once great nation have developed into in the last 30 years.
You be surprised how many people have no clue what went on during the seventies when it comes to oil shifting productions.
