The pro-American policy is the one that forces oil prices down. The way to do this is to flood the world market with liquid fuel from every source possible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People who are running for office mislead the American people by saying that there's a three-point plan or a bumper sticker kind of way of bringing down gasoline prices. The fact of the matter is that nobody can do that. The price of oil is set on the global economy. People who have looked at this closely and hard know that's the case.
The one thing people seem to forget is the more oil we have, the lower the price and the lower the profits the oil companies make.
Instead of begging OPEC to drop its oil prices, let's use American leadership and ingenuity to solve our own energy problems.
If the United States is to protect itself from the economic and the political threats created by this excessive dependence, we must reduce our reliance on foreign energy sources and on foreign oil as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
If our country is serious about reducing our dependency on foreign oil, we need to get serious about mobilizing the infrastructure necessary to distribute and dispense the next generation of fuels.
One of our priorities should be to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Every dollar cut from the price of oil weakens the enemies of freedom and strengthens America.
Our oil problems are only going to get worse. Our trade balance is only going to get worse. So we have to slow the growth of U.S. oil consumption, particularly imported oil consumption.
The problem is not the oil, but what they do with the oil. The United States is the biggest spender of oil and of all the planet resources.
The anti-American policy is the one that keeps oil prices up. The way to do that is to help OPEC limit the amount of liquid fuel available.
