Re: Re: Gas or Oil out, What is the problem????

I  recently read that every year the government makes us more and more
dependent on foreign oil rather than our own naturall resources.   Something
about being 68 percent dependent now, vs 40 something a few years ago.
I rolled my eyes when I listened to our president going on about negotiating
with foreign leaders to end this high price of oil.  Yeah, right.  THEY are
our friends...sure.  How about lowering our FEDERAL TAX on the stuff, Mr.
Bright Idea?
