OK, I get it, your divorce from reality went through a long time ago, and you haven't had any contact in years.

You haven't noticed oil companies making the largest profits that any company ever made in history, why would you, you pontificate about the economy, you don't follow it. And "largest profits in history" would only ring a bell if you had perhaps taken a course in economics or free market theory, and you are "education free" when it comes to that stuff.

Did you know, (not fair, I know you don't have a clue), that when Jimmy Carter left office, the programs in place meant that the US would never import more than 3 million barrels a day of foreign petroleum, oil imports were going down, Reagan changed all that, did you know that?
I believe the wealthest corporation in America today--is the pharmacutical industry.

Jimmy Carter-- wouldn't import more than 3 million per day--because Iran cut him off--during the Iranian crisis. You obviously weren't born then or were in diapers--and that's when we had blocks long waits to get gasoline. I remember that very well.

So yes Reagan opened it up--so you could actually drive in and get gas without waiting in line for 1-1/2 hours which was typical during Jimmy's final year in office.
