"global oil stockpiles are diminishing at a rapid clip."

Republicans have been stroking each other for a few years, saying we're Energy Independent now.

Why should America care about global stockpiles when we're energy independent?

Hopefully a Republican, who is naturally an economic genius and also very good-looking, can explain it to me.

Energy Independence is Republican feel-good marketing.

America can't be energy independent.

Because America sells off our energy resources to be developed by multinational corporations for pennies on the dollar.

Not without finding a domestic source of heavy crude.

We have plenty of sources of crude oil.

We keep giving them away to energy companies.

If we didn't do that, all Americans could be significantly wealthier, like the people living in Alaska who get a dividend check for a few thousand dollars every year.

"Heavy Crude" is a good code name for a fat President who enjoys raping children.
