Robomatic,

You are not making any sense to me. It seems to me that you are arguing for its own sake. You defend EBs figures I rebut that you say the figures are not your own.

As I said before, your assertions are too silly to warrant a serious reply.

My only reply is this. It is self serving nonsense for an oil person to say that high oil prices are getting those things done. The high prices serve the Oil companies and a few foreign countries which are enemies and a few which are friends. (I count the whole middle east as enemies we were in bed with tyrants for cheap oil now we don't even get that.) All those things all could have been accomplished without high oil prices and in ways which would have done less damage to the US economy.
