All you liberals think that way, liberals don't care about American jobs. You would rather send 500+ billion a yr and all the jobs that go with it to oil lords and put our economy in their hands dictating to us.

Ok, lets assume we drill-baby-drill and deplete all of our own oil in 30 years. In 30 years we will have to seek oil from places like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Libya, who will literally have us bent over a barrel, because they KNOW we have to get our oil from them.

Right now, we do have alternative sources of oil, so those countries can't bargain too hard or they will lose a huge customer. Gasoline is still roughly as expensive as a gallon of milk, its not like prices are unbearable. In 30 years, if we do it wrong now, prices will be unbearable. Is planning for the future an anathema to the conservative mind?
