I gave up trying to explain folks on the Big Dog oil thread that oil prevailing costs is cheap because it is subsidized. I explained that if one included the cost of acting as the hire gun for Saudi, and protecting governments in the production areas the costs would be much higher. My point was: subsidizing corn-based ethnanol, when compared to the true costs of the oil was a cheaper alternative.

chispas, Middle Eastern oil should be free to America. If you add up all hidden costs, these countries should be giving the oil to America. Ummmm....you mean they should give us their oil for free or we will invade their countries, bomb them back to the stone age, support vicious dictators who will enslave them yet bow to our every whim? Oh wait, we're already doing that, have been for decades. Please tell me she (Diane Francis, the author) isn't serious. Unfortunately, I think she is. She's a total nutcase with the IQ of a retarded mosquito. habit
