    I got out of the service in '73. Came home, more or less to a new world. Cars lined up to get gas. We should have bombed Arabia then. No one likes my ideas.
    If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

      No need to bomb anybody -- just drill and frack in our own country. And build more nukes.

        And import only if/when it is cheaper to do so. Never export.

          Why shouldn't we export? We export food, manugactured goods and so on. Without exports our economy will collapse.

            We need to reserve our oil and export manufactured goods.

            That keeps us energy secure w/o being at someones else's mercy and puts our people to work in manufacturing jobs.

            As it is we sell raw materials to other countries then buy everything back in the form or a finished product bypassing our own labor.

            Food? If we didn't export so much of it there would be more for us, right? That would bring the cost down and the farmers would still produce the same amount, it just wouldn't loaded up on ships.

            Extra or surplus items? Sure, export it but when our prices go up and up constantly I don't see and surpluses.
