It’s our oil

Mon., April 8, 2019

How is it that our government claims that the United States is set to be the number one exporter of crude oil, yet gas prices are exploding here on the home front? Are the citizens of the United States of America being taken for a long ride while the oil companies become richer?

We should be reaping the benefits in lower gas prices before shipping our black gold somewhere else.
