Ok, so every other day or so, we’re told that gas prices are rising due to shortages, or increased demands. Don’t you just love being LIED to!!!
According to the Associated Press, Gasoline and crude oil are the United State’s NUMBER ONE EXPORT. Now think on this a minute, we’re trying to conserve. We are told by our government, that oil supplies are limited and that we have to conserve, so we do. And that since Oil is getting scarce, naturally the price is going to go up. (AND GO UP, IT DOES)
Then I find THIS ARTICLE in the Associated Press. “Gasoline and Crude Oil are our NUMBER ONE EXPORT!” Even though we have to import Oil from other countries to get by, we’re busy shipping it out to the highest bidder, as fast as we can load it up. READ THIS NEXT STATEMENT CAREFULLY “In 2011 the U.S. Imported 689 million barrels of Oil,,,, and EXPORTED 753 million barrels of Oil.”
It’s all laid out in the article linked above. Definitely worth a read.
