So you don't think tapping into our own natural resources of oil fields would lower the oil prices? Maybe or maybe not...China would have more of an impact on that question. Anyway, if we were to open up our oil fields we wouldn't have to rely on middle east oil to the degree we do now. So the $100 per barrel oil would be a moot point.
I don't claim to be the smartest guy on the forum, but I've got to be a close second.

Don't forget that the U.S. is about at refinery capacity. That's one reason for sticky fuel prices.

Some of our major problems with the dollar crisis:
Currently the price of oil is tied to the dollar, if the dollar continues to decline the major oil exporting nations will peg the price of oil to the euro, with the euro increasing and the dollar declining costing US more for oil imports
The Bush Administration has been financing their deficit spending by borrowing from the Central Banks of Japan and China in the form of Treasury Bonds, the decline of dollars value will make these bonds less attractive, the Government will be forced to increase the interest rate to continue to borrow or raise taxes, a third choice would be to control spending..(ya right) the words Conservative and Republican should never be used in conjunction..
As to any benefit from a weak dollar, our imports exceed our exports so for the vast majority of Americans this is an inflationary situation that leads to less expendable income.
It will be extremely difficult for the weak dollar to turn around our import problems the American Worker can not survive on the slave wages paid the Chinese worker, As the value of the American Worker's wage declines so shall the health of the World Economy, we'll be lucky if all we see is a recession....

Are we in a recession? I hope so.
I remember all those years struggling on minimum wage with no help from anyone. Being treated like crap from idiot bosses and so forth. So poor, I couldn't even challenge them legally even though I had very strong legal legs to stand on.
Now, I'm making more money than I ever have and oddly enough, I have zero compassion for anyone making less. In fact, I enjoy it when others struggle and hope everyone goes broke. Makes me even richer.
Basically EVERYTHING revolves around money. Just "follow the money" like Jesse Ventura would say.
Don't get mad at me. ALL of you clowns wanted this war and I was shouted down when I spoke up. ALL IDIOTS! 1.2 BILLON DOLLARS IS NOW MISSING just from the funds for training the Iraq police.
1.2 BILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1.2 BILLION just from this one thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine how much else is missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was just the neocons raping the treasury and all you idiots allowed and sanctioned it to happen.
So...I have zero sympathy for you and hope you all get buried financially. Even if I make 20K a month I give ZERO money, not even one penny to charity. Piss on ya...  That's all I need...that is to give money to outfits like the United Way run by theives like our former mayor. NO THANKS! All my money is mine, ALL mine and I hope everyone except Liberal gets the boots put to them financially. Liberal deserves a break.
