They absolutely are. They share nothing in common with the us except a love for oil

Absolutely, we are locked in an odd "ends to a means" relationship that has gotten more and more intricately intertwined over decades.

But we don't. We just need them to prop up the dollar

They share no values with this country.

Agreed on the values issue. They suck. Royally.

When their wells go dry... if they're too dumb to find another niche... they're simply toast.

One. Giant. Worthless. Desert.

It's crazy that their women are OK with being treated like dirt. Pathetic.

Dude. Get a grip. For the love of Pete, just do some simple research online and educate yourself.

We are 31+ trillion dollars in debt, it takes 700+ billion a year to service that debt. We're estimated to collect about 400 billion in tax revenue in FY 2022. By my definition, if you have more going out than coming in you're ****ing broke. We're printing money just to service our debt.

Not really. We could ramp up production and refining and not need them at all for "cheaper" oil.

Nothing turns on a dime.

Proof? Oil hit $120+ and we barely ramped up production.

Plus there's value to NOT using all our oil too quickly.

We don't need to raise taxes to reduce the debt. Its a fact the higher the tax rate goes the less tax money the fed gov collects.

LOL We have hundreds of years worth in the ground.

Once again, you prove your ignorance.

The United States has proven reserves equivalent to 4.9 times its annual consumption. This means that, without imports, there would be about 5 years of oil left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).

Hard to lead when you're broke. And no we're not the leader of the "free" world, we're the "free" worlds piggy bank. I'll give you a piece of advice, if you have to pay them to be friendly to you they ain't your friends.

Remember that the next time you're in a strip club.

You couldn't be more wrong. We have known reserves of over 35 billion barrels of oil or 50 years worth at current use rates. It is estimated that the largest oil reserve in the world is in the Gulf of Mexico, exploration has been too expensive so it's not even been drilled.

I'm fine with some targeted tax increases or changes to the tax code, i.e. carried interest. That won't carry the day in meaningful debt reduction. We have a massive spending problem trying to appease all the hands that are extended.
