Your turn to be silly, OCU?

Yes, we import most of our crude oil from the Americas, but we still pay gobs of money to countries who are not our friends for crude oil.

Saudi Arabia - 12.4%; Venezuela - 10.7%; Iraq - 5.3%; Russia - 3.4%; Brazil - 3.1%; Algeria - 3.9%

But you miss the point, again. Why fund other countries, especially if some of them range from not all that friendly to outright hostile, when we could be keeping those dollars within our own society, eh?

"...and we are sending gobs of money to countries who want us dead."

You mean like Canada, the country from which we import the MOST 'foreign' oil? In fact, nearly 75% of all of the oil which we consume (or refine and sell elsewhere) comes from the Americas. Less than 13% comes from the Persian Gulf.
