Hawkmoon, Tim is not very good at economics. He must have failed Econ 101.

He doesn't understand how the price of oil is manipulated and does not include the full cost due to US military subsidies. In addition, he doesn't understand that a country as dependent as we are on one energy source like oil is on a fast track to insolvency. He also doesn't understand that the oil revenues that our worst enemies get from us is used to undermine our interests abroad. In short, he doesn't understand the connection of all of our biggest problems to one root cause...our dependence on oil.

All of those things are to complex for him. Put more than one variable in your discussions and his logic implodes.
