It is reported that with U.S. oil production come a lot of jobs not to mention an increase of supply. It is also reported that if we start now, we could get oil within 3 years, while other harder sources could take up to 10 years. It has also been reported of record profits that although some is to be given to it's investors, other money has been set aside for research and development of new sources, at least that is what they are advertising on T.V.

I think that another reason Democrats are stalling is that I heard that some of them own stock in the U.S. oil companies. What that means is that if we can pump it out of the ground at $50.00 a barrel but Opec sells it to us at $123.00 a barrel, then gas gets sold to the American people at $123.00 a barrel and the stock holders make an even bigger killing. If I was a stock holding Democrat I would fight more drilling to lower the price too, for at $123.00 a barrel I would be getting rich.
