Re: Oil prices got you down?
 
You know sixty bucks a barrel, really isn't bad for American,
there's millions of wells already in place that have not been cost
efficient until now that'll come to life feeding Americans, stead of
Arabs.
And if our traitors would stop buying foreign products, nations
like China, Japan and Europe wouldn't need to bid against us at the well
head. They'd have to pay us to take, like before the Arabs nationalized
Chevron, Richfield, Texaco and Shell wells.
