But if oil is selling for $100 a barrel, I see no reason that only dictatorships should be recouping that money.<br /><br />Those are lucrative blue collar jobs. Locking them away with an illegal moratorium or with irrational regulations is _cruel_. And if the children of our ruling class were in that industry rather than investment banking and real estate, there's no way these policies would continue.CMAR IInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36279451.post-26626571780483016082011-02-24T10:38:48.538-08:002011-02-24T10:38:48.538-08:00I thought the moratorium applied only to offshore ...I thought the moratorium applied only to offshore drilling.Iraqi Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348791832474839472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36279451.post-24159319926319602582011-02-24T10:35:36.950-08:002011-02-24T10:35:36.950-08:00When are the states going to sue the Obama Adminis...When are the states going to sue the Obama Administration for refusing to lift the drilling moratorium in defiance of a court ruling?CMAR IInoreply@blogger.com
